McIAS 16xx Series Telephony Interface Boards - Overview
This manual pertains to the telephony interface boards that can be installed in McIAS
16xx Series systems. The McIAS 16xx Series currently consists of the McIAS 1685,
McIAS 1607, McIAS 1610 and McIAS 1623/IP.
Depending on the type of Single Board Computer (SBC) installed, the McIAS 1607
can be configured as a McIAS 1607/68 or McIAS 1607/IP; likewise, the McIAS 1610
can be configured as a McIAS 1610/68 or McIAS 1610/IP. Refer to Appendix A for
SBC board descriptions. Throughout this manual, all references to the McIAS 1607
and McIAS 1610 apply to both configurations, unless otherwise specified.
McIAS 1607 and 1610 can be configured with either analog or digital telephony
interface boards. McIAS 1685 provides only an analog connection. McIAS 1623/IP
provides only digital connections.
Analog connections are provided through the use of McTi-8E (4-wire E&M), McTi-8R
(Ring-Trip) or McTi-8L (Loop Reversal) boards. Each McTi board slot is associated
with a trunk connector located on the backplane through which connection is made
to the telephone company trunks. Cognitronics recommends, in a McIAS 1610, that
analog McTi boards are installed in the lowermost slots followed by digital McTi
boards, in ascending order. Board addresses are set according to Table 4-1 or Table
4-2.
Digital connections are provided using McTi-24 (T1) boards which supply 24 voice
ports each or McTi-30 (E1) boards which supply 30 voice ports each. As an option,
the McIAS 1623/IP also allows the installation of up to two of the following boards:
McTi-24MR digital T1 board, McTi-30MR digital E1 board, V/S24T1 digital T1 board
or V/S30E1 digital E1 board.
McIAS 16xx/IP systems configured with McTi-24 boards Rev. 1 (and newer) and/or
McTi-MR boards allow the replacement (hot swap) of one McTi board with another
by powering down only the McTi board and not the entire system. Refer to the McIAS
16xx/IP System Operation Manual (P/N 41318310) for detailed information.
Note:
McIAS 16xx/68 systems do not allow the hot swap of McTi boards; the entire
McIAS 16xx/68 system must be powered down before McTi boards are replaced.
