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 SW30 controls the generation of the
instance numbers.
Windows Systems: In a Windows system, leaving
SW30 set to the 0 position (the factory default
setting) on all Dialogic
the system 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
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 SW30 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 SW30 on each board to a different
position (0-9 or A-F). Refer to the Configuration
Guide for Springware architecture products in
your Dialogic
for further information about the board ID
numbers.

Setting the Initial Hook State
The position of slide switch SW4 determines how
the board responds to an incoming call when the
chassis power is on but the board is not initialized.
Set the SW4 slide switch as follows:
■
SW4 = off (default): Callers hear ringing (onhook).
Ringing (On-Hook)
■
SW4 = on: Callers hear a busy signal (off-hook).
Busy (Off-Hook)
Note: If the chassis power is off, callers hear
ringing (on-hook) regardless of the setting of SW4.

Setting the CT Bus Termination
The Computer Telephony bus (CT Bus) provides
communication and flexible resource sharing
among the boards connected to the bus. The D/
41JCT-LS-EW and VFX/41JCT -LS-EW boards have a
CT Bus connector that complies with the ECTF
H.100 specification, and as such can be connected
to the CT Bus with a CT Bus cable. To connect the
boards to the CT Bus, set the CT Bus jumpers
according to instructions in this section.
If you do not require media sharing or switching
across the CT Bus, you may use the D/41JCT-LSEW or VFX/41JCT-LS-EWby itself with no CT Bus
cable. If you are not using a CT Bus connection,
you do not need to set the CT Bus jumpers and you
can proceed to Section 4, Choosing a Slot.”
Note: If you are operating the board without a CT
Bus connection, you must configure the board to
H.100 bus mode. Otherwise, all attempts to
download to the board will fail because the CT Bus
clock is absent.
The following instructions apply only to the boards
at each end of the CT Bus cable. Boards that are in
the middle of the CT Bus cable should not be
terminated.
Note: If these boards are operating in SCbus
mode, CT Bus (H.100) termination is not required.
JP1 jumper is reserved and unused. Do not install
a jumper link across the pins of JP1.
JP2 is a 2-pin jumper that is used to terminate the
CT Bus, ensuring that proper electrical
characteristics exist on the CT Bus. By factory
default, this jumper is not terminated on the board.
To use the CT Bus:
■
Install a jumper link on the JP2 jumper of a
board to terminate the CT Bus at that board.
■
Only terminate the first and last boards (the
boards located at each end) on the CT Bus cable.
■
Do not install a jumper link across the pins of
JP2 on boards located between the end boards
on the CT Bus cable (the jumper link must be
disconnected on the JP2 jumper to disable
termination).
The JP2 jumper terminates the following H.100
signals: CT_FRAME_(A&B) and CT_C8_(A&B).
4. Choosing a Slot
The D/41JCT-LS-EW and VFX/41JCT-LS-EW boards
implement a PCI Express x1 lane configuration,
allowing them to be used in any full-length PCI
Express slot that fully meets PCI Express Card
Electromechanical Specification Revision 1.0a or
higher.
If the D/41JCT-LS-EW or VFX/41JCT-LS-EW is the
only Dialogic
may choose any slot for the installation.

If the D/41JCT-LS-EW or VFX/41JCT-LS-EW will be
connected to other telephony boards via a CT Bus
cable, you should install the boards to minimize
unused connectors on the CT Bus cable:
■
Install boards in adjacent slots whenever
possible.
■
If the D/41JCT-LS-EW or VFX/41JCT-LS-EW
board will be connected to one or more PCI
boards, use the PCI Express slot(s) closest to the
PCI slots.
5. Installing the Board
WARNING! Unplug the equipment before
performing the procedures described here.
Failure to disconnect the power before you
open the chassis can result in personal injury.
Ensure that the system is disconnected from
its power source and from all
telecommunications links, networks, or
modem lines whenever the chassis cover is
removed. Do not operate the system with the
cover removed.
CAUTION: T o avoid possible damage to the board,
remove power from the computer before beginning
installation. Observe proper anti-static precau ti ons
at all times while handling and installing the board.
To install a D/41JCT-LS-EW or VFX/41JCT-LS-EW
board, perform the following steps:
1. T urn off all power to the syst em and di sconnect
the system’s power cords.
2. Remove the computer’s cover.
3. Choose an empty PCI Express expansion slot
and remove the slot’s retaining screw and
