Configuring The SCbus Time Slots
The Impact FXS' SCbus interface board is compatible with the Dialogic standards for SCbus technology. The
Comdial Enterprise Toolkit provides two utilities that allow the Impact FXS system to comply with the Dialogic
standards.
•
FXTSREQ.EXE—this utility determines the number of SCbus transmit time slots needed by an Impact FXS
system. Each installed SCbus interface board requires 32 transmit SCbus time slots.
•
FXTSMAP.EXE—this utility assigns 32 SCbus transmit time slots to each installed SCbus interface board.
These two utilities are part of the Enterprise ToolKit developer software. You must copy them from their source
location to the BIN directory of the Dialogic system software (for example: C:\DLGCDEV\DIALOGIC\BIN if
you installed the Dialogic system software in C:\DLGCDEV).
CAUTION
You must run the FXTSREQ.EXE utility before you start the Dialogic service. Refer to the Dialogic
documentation for start and stop details. The Dialogic system software calls the FXTSMAP.EXE utility
software when it needs to do so. Never run FXTSMAP.EXE manually. It’s the Dialogic system software’s
responsibility to call FXTSMAP.EXE with the proper arguments.
Currently, the utility is not a Windows* NT* service; therfore, you must start the Dialogic service
manually rather that automatically. This requirement is so that the FXTSREQ.EXE utility can run before
you start the Dialogic service software. After the utility becomes Windows NT compliant, the only
requirement will be that the utility runs to completion before the Dialogic system software starts.
