Configuring the TX 4000 board
Adding a board
Complete the following steps to add a new undefined TX 4000 board:
Step
Action
1
Power down the system if it is running.
2
Insert the TX 4000 board, seating it firmly in an available slot.
3
Power up the system.
If you are installing a TX 4000 board in a Windows system for the first time, the Windows® New
Hardware Wizard appears and prompts you for the files required to activate the SS7 drivers. For
more information, refer to
Installing Dialogic
®
NaturalAccess™ Signaling Software
.
If you are installing an additional TX 4000 board in a slot that has never held a TX 4000 board,
the Windows® New Hardware Wizard appears, finds the required files, and exits.

At the prompt, invoke
txcpcfg
by entering the following command:
txcpcfg
txcpcfg
displays the bus number, slot number, CP number, and CP model of boards that are
present and configured. Only the bus number, slot number, and CP model type identify the
board that you are currently adding. The CP number is undefined. For example:
Bus Slot CP Number CP Model
2 2 1 TX 4000
2 4 2 TX 4000
2 6 UNDEFINED TX 4000
5
Record the bus and slot values for the new undefined TX 4000 board.
6
Assign a unique CP number to each undefined board by entering the following command:
txcpcfg
bus
slot
unique_CP_number
where
•
bus
is the bus number of the TX 4000 board that you are configuring.
•
slot
is the slot number of the TX 4000 board that you are configuring.
•
unique_CP_number
is a number you assign. Valid CP numbers within the system start at
1 and must be unique. They do not have to be consecutive.
For example, enter the following command to assign a CP number of 3 for the board with a bus
number of 2 and a slot number of 6:
txcpcfg 2 6 3
7
Verify the configuration of all of the TX boards by entering the following command:
txcpcfg
In this example, if you assign the new board a unique CP number of 3, the following
configuration information displays:
Bus Slot CP Number CP Model
2 2 1 TX 4000
2 4 2 TX 4000
2 6
3
TX
xxxx
where
xxxx
is 4000 for a TX 4000/C, TX 4000/20, or TX 4000/20C board.

Save the configuration changes.
In a Windows system, configuration changes are saved automatically. In a UNIX system,
configuration changes are deleted when you restart the system. Save the changes by editing the
cpcfg
file as described in
Saving configuration changes
on page 27.
