6. Power Budgeting Jumper P3:

3-pin jumper to set how the board responds to the system power budgeting function.

■

P3 jumper in pins 2-3: Board adheres to power budgeting values set by system.

■

P3 jumper in pins 1-2: Board ignores power budgeting values

set by system. Factory default is P3 jumper in pins 2-3.

Setting the Board ID

When the system is started, each Dialogic® telecom board is assigned a board instance ID number that programs can use to identify individual boards in a multi-board system. The setting of SW100 controls the generation of the instance numbers.

Windows Systems: In a Windows system, leaving

SW100 set to the 0 position (the factory default setting) on all Dialogic the system release software to assign instance numbers geographically, based on the bus and slot numbers. Note that when using this method, there is no way to know what the instance numbers will be until the system is started and configured, and the instance number for any

telecom boards causes

given board is likely to change when there is any change in the number or arrangement of boards in the system.

As an alternative, you may set SW100 on each board to a different position (0-9 or A-F) to explicitly assign specific ID numbers to the boards. Note that each board must be set to a different ID number.

In either case, you can read the ID numbers assigned to the boards in the Dialogic Configuration Manager (DCM) after you start the system and invoke that too l.

Linux Systems: In a Linux system, you must

explicitly specify the board ID numbers by setting SW100 on each board to a different position (0-9 or A-F). Refer to the Configuration Guide for Springware architecture products in your Dialogic system release software documentation for further information about the board ID numbers.

Setting the Hook-Switch State for Startup

Slide switch SW1 determines how the Dialogic® D/120JCT-LS-EW board responds to an incoming call when the PC power is on, but the board is not yet initialized.

When the SW1 slider is positioned away from the board’s bracket, the Dialogic board responds as on-hook while uninitialized. With the SW1 slider positioned closer to the bracket, the board responds as off-hook during start-up.

The factory default setting for SW1 is on-hook.

4. Choosing a Slot

The Dialogic® D/120JCT-LS-EW board is a full length x1 form factor PCI Express board that requires 25W of power. The following explanation and guidelines are provided to ensure proper configuration of the product.

Power Budgeting is a new feature, introduced in the PCI Express Specification, that provides a mechanism to enable a system to negotiate power consumption requirements for add-in devices.

Per PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification Revision 1.0a or higher, a x1 add-in card can draw no more than 10W in a x1 slot unless the board’s required power is successfully negotiated and allocated by the system (power budgeting). However, implementation of power budgeting by a vendor's system is not a compliance requirement per the PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification Revision 1.0a or higher. Therefore, some chassis may not support this feature. Power Budgeting jumper P3 is designed to ensure proper configuration of the product.

The Dialogic installed in a slot that can be allocated 25W.

If Power Budgeting is not implemented by a vendor's system, the Dialogic board must be plugged into a x4 or higher slot with the P3 jumper in position 1-2 (power budgeting ignored). This is allowed per PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification Revision 1.0a or higher because a x4 or greater slot must be able to support a minimum of 25W.

If Power Budgeting is implemented by a vendor's system, the Dialogic be plugged into a x1 slot but the P3 jumper must be in position pins 2-3 (power budgeting adhered to).

WARNING! Installing the Dialogic® D/120JCT-LS-EW board in a x1 slot with the P3 jumper in position 1-2 will void the warranty of the D/120JCT-LS-EW board.

If the Dialogic to other telephony boards via a CT Bus cable, you should install the boards to minimize unused connectors on the CT Bus cable (in addition to ensuring that the power requirements are met):

■

Install boards in adjacent slots whenever possible.

■

If the Dialogic® D/120JCT-LS-EW board will be connected to one or more PCI boards, use the PCI Express slot(s) closest to the PCI slots.
