Installing the EdgeMedia DSP
Board in a Dialogic
®
IP Media
Server
Part Number: 64-0518-01
The EdgeMedia DSP Processor Array (EDP-10)
Plug-in board provides transcoding assistance for the
Dialogic® IP Media Server.
The EDP-10 board is required when the IP Media
Server provides additional functionality to connect to
a non-G.711 network, such as G.726 or G.729.
The EDP-10 board is a transcoding engine
exclusively for use with the IP Media Server and does
not provide a separate TDM or Ethernet interface. It
can be used in a variety of applications such as call
centers, conferencing, pre-paid applications and
messaging platforms.
Operating/Environmental Specifications
This device must be installed in an enclosure that
meets the following electrical and mechanical
requirements:
Power Requirements:
Base: 2A at 5VDC = 10W / 4A at 3.3VDC =
13.2W
Temperature: 0 degree C - 50 degree C
Humidity: 10% - 95% (noncondensing)
Cooling: Direct forced-air flow is required.
MTBF (mean time between failures):
>150,000 hours
Installing the EDP-10 Board
Read the product instructions for installing hardware
and software before installing your board so that you
install them in the proper order.
To install the board:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the computer cover. If the system has a
board hold-down bar, remove that as well.
3. Locate an unused PCI expansion slot and remove
the blank bracket.
4. Holding the board at each top corner, insert the
board firmly into the PCI slot.
5. Screw the board’s mounting bracket securely to
the computer's frame. See Figure 1.
Figure 1. EDP-10 Board
6. Replace the computer cover.
7. Turn on the computer.
The board ON/UP LED should be green.
Recognizing PCI Slots
The EDP-10 board is compliant with the following:
32/64 bit, 33MHz/66MHz, PCI-SIG 2.3 chassis
PCI-X chassis up to 66MHz
The PCI connectors in the computer chassis usually
appear as white slots, unlike ISA connectors, which
are dark brown or black. The different variations of
PCI connectors that can be used with the board are
shown in Figure 2. The board has a Universal PCI
board edge connector. It can be inserted into any of
the PCI slots shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. PCI Slots
Understanding the LEDs
The EDP-10 board has four LEDs on the mounting
bracket.
Figure 3. Front View of Mounting Bracket
ON/UP LED
This LED is on when the card is powered on, out of
reset, and ready to be used.
Active LED
This LED on when the card is active and the driver
has detected the card.
Ingress Traffic LED
This LED blinks when there is packet traffic coming
into the card.
Egress Traffic LED
This LED blinks when there is packet traffic going
out of the card.
A small amount of static electricity can
destroy the sensitive components on
your board. To prevent static damage,
always connect yourself to ground using
a ground strap before touching a circuit
board. Handle boards only by the edges
or metal mounting brackets and
transport boards in an anti-static bag.
When installing the board, be sure that
the mounting bracket is securely
fastened to the chassis and the chassis
is plugged into a grounded three prong
plug. Improper chassis or bracket
grounding can result in harmful or fatal
electrical shock as well as component
damage.
