! IMPORTANT !
While the system is powered up, data may be written to the S-RAM or flash memory at any time. Before powering down the system, verify that of the 4 LEDs in the lower left corner of the CPU, only LD2 is flashing. This
LED is the farthest right of the LEDs. It should be flashing 0.5 seconds on/off (a slow flash). If it’s flashing fast
or if any other LEDS are flashing on the CPU, wait until they stop or else the system data may be corrupted.
Turning off the power when other LEDs are flashing may corrupt the flash or S-RAM data. If the flash memory
becomes corrupted, the system may not come up. If the S-RAM data is corrupted, the telephones may have
erratic operation.
When powering the system up or down, wait 10 seconds before pressing the button again. This allows the system to complete the startup/shutdown process.

●When the system software is upgraded, the flash memory is updated with the new software version. You
can use the Hot or Cold start-up methods or upgrade your system software using the steps which follow.
●Customer information is stored in the RAM memory and, in case of a power failure, will be restored.
The lithium battery in the system saves the RAM memory when power is lost.
Resetting the System:
! IMPORTANT !
While the system is powered up, data may be written to the S-RAM or flash memory at any time.
Before powering down the system, verify that of the 4 LEDs in the lower left corner of the CPU, only
LD2 is flashing (this is the LED located farthest right of the LEDs). It should be flashing 0.5 seconds
on/off (a slow flash). If it’s flashing fast or if any other LEDS are flashing on the CPU, wait until they
stop.
Turning off the power when other LEDs are flashing may corrupt the flash or S-RAM data. If the
flash memory becomes corrupted, the system may not come up. If the S-RAM data is corrupted, the
telephones may have erratic operation.
To Perform a Cold Start:
1.If installed, pull out the compact flash card.
With the compact flash card installed, the system will error and not boot up correctly.
2.Push the power button on the cabinet to power down the system.
When powering the system up or down, wait 10 seconds before pressing the button again. This
allows the system to complete the startup/shutdown process.
3.Once the system has powered down, push in and hold the Load button.
4.Press the power button to power the system back up.
5.Continue holding the Load button for approximately 3 seconds.
6.Release the Load button.
7.When the system has completed reloading the software (approximately 2 minutes), the Status LED
(LD2) will be flashing on the CPU.
To Perform a Hot Start:
System software loaded from flash memory and the customer data is loaded from RAM memory.
1.Push the power button on the cabinet to power down the system. Once it has powered down, wait
10 seconds then press the button again to power the system back up.
When powering the system up or down, wait 10 seconds before pressing the button again. This
allows the system to complete the startup/shutdown process.
2.Wait approximately 2 minutes.
3.When the system has completed reloading the software, the Status LED (LD2) will be flashing on the
CPU.
Performing a Software Upgrade:
Refer to Saving Your Configuration (page 2-44), Backing Up/Restoring a Database (page 2-44), Using
Flash Cards for System Software (page 2-45), and Upgrading Software (page 2-46) for complete details
on how to work with the system software with the CPU.

DSPDB Daughter Board (Figure 2-4, Figure 2-5)
The DSPDB provides the option for the VRS (Voice Response System) feature. This daughter board is
mounted on the CPU and provides:
●8 VRS Circuits with a VRS Flash Card Installed (replays up to 8 circuits simultaneously; records up to 8 cir-
cuits simultaneously)
●Compact Flash Slot for VRS or IntraMail Feature
There are no DTMF receivers provided when this daughter board is installed on the CPU.
To install a DSPDB Daughter Board:
1.Included with the DSPDB are four spacers. Install one spacer in each corner of the daughter board.
Make sure to attach the spacers from the back of the daughter board so when installed, the compact
flash slot is facing up.
2.Position the daughter board over the CN4 connector on the CPU. Push the board into the connector
on the CPU. Gently push the corners of the daughter board down so the spacers lock into the CPU.
To remove the daughter board, use pliers to squeeze the top of the spacers together, then gently
pull the daughter board off.

LAN Connection (ENTU) PCB (Figure 2-6)
An ENTU PCB is required when a VoIP PCB is installed. If the ENTU is not installed, the system
will not start up. In addition, an ENTU would be required for a WebPro/PCPro LAN connection.
The ENTU PCB provides a LAN connector which is compatible with 100Base-TX and 10Base-T. This PCB
is compatible in LAN applications using 10Mbps and 100Mbps. All ports will automatically identify and
switch 100Base-TX, 10Base-T and Full/Half Duplex.
The VoIP PCB, which is required in order for IP telephones to communicate with non-VoIP Aspire phones,
as well as to place or receive outside calls, must be connected to an external switching hub.
The PCB plugs into the CN6 and CN7 connectors on the CPU, with a maximum of 1 per system. Each PCB
provides an RJ61 port connector. This is used to connect to a LAN terminal or external switching hub.
Depending on the type of LAN terminal, the PCB may not be able to detect the difference between straight
cable and cross-cable automatically. If auto-crossover is not functioning, use straight cable for that terminal
connection.
If PoE (power over ethernet) is to be used to eliminate the separate power adapters, a separate power source
is required. It is recommended that you use a power switch and/or power hub which is IEEE 802.3AF compliant. For example, the PowerDsine 6xxx series of products is unique in the fact that in addition to offering
IEEE 802.3AF support, it also provides for the NEC proprietary detection and, therefore, the ILPA (In Line
Power Adapter) is not required. For systems which require layer 2 switching capability and PoE, the NEC
BlueFire 200/24 switch is recommended. This unit provides layer 2 switch capability in addition to being
able to supply ethernet power to 24 NEC IP terminals. For this unit, power feeding is through the signal pair
(1/2, 3/6) or spare pair (4/5, 7/8).

VoIP (VOIPU-S) PCB (Figure 2-15)
An ENTU-S PCB is required when a VoIP PCB is installed. If the ENTU-S is not installed, the
system will not start up.
The 4VOIPU-S PCB is used for converting the RTP (Real Time Transfer Protocol) packets via the IP network and PCM highway. The IP telephones are connected directly to the IP bus. When IP phones need to be
connected to a conventional PCM-based digital circuit, this PCB converts the IP packet signal into a PCM
signal format and connects to the PCM time division switch.
The VOIPU-S PCB is required in order for IP telephones to communicate with non-VoIP Aspire phones, as
well as to place or receive outside calls.
The 4VOIPU-S PCB provides:
●4VOIPU-S PCB provides up to 4 channels
●Connector for the 4VOIPDB-S daughter board (providing an additional 4 channels)
●1 PCB status LED
●DB status LED
●RIP session status LED
●PCMCIA slot LED
●Reset switch
●Load switch
●Boot jumper
●1 run/block switch
A maximum of 3 PCBs per system are allowed. This provides 12 channels per system with the 4VOIPU
(with the 4VOIPDB-S, 24 channels are available).
Add the VoIP PCB after all other PCBs have been installed and the ports assigned. Otherwise, port numbering may be off as the VoIP PCB is recognized first (even before the ports on the CPU). This would mean the
VoIP is assigned ports 1-4 and the digital and analog ports on the CPU would then follow.
When installing a VoIP PCB, the 4VOIPU-S PCB uses a consecutive block of 4 trunk ports if there are 4
vacant 4 ports available. The 4VOIPU-S with a 4VOIPDB-S PCB uses a consecutive block of 8 trunk ports
if there are 8 ports available. If there are not enough trunk ports available, the VOIPU will start up without
allocating any trunk ports.
If the PCB is not going to be used for trunks, the logical trunk ports can be set to ‘0’ in Program 10-03-01 : PCB Setup, but the physical trunk ports are still assigned to the PCB and cannot be used for any other PCB
unless the PCB is deleted from the slot in Program 90-05 : Slot Control. A maximum of 16 IP extensions
or 8 IP trunks are possible with the Aspire S. The VoIP PCB can be plugged into any universal slot.
The separate software hub should be a 100Base/full duplex hub. To avoid network problems and to ensure
good voice quality, do not use a Repeater Hub/10Base.
2-34 ◆Section 2: PCB Installation and StartupAspire S Hardware Manual
Page 67
Section 2: PCB Installation and Startup
PCB Port Assignments
When installing a VoIP PCB, the system automatically assigns trunk ports to match the card’s port capacity.
For example, a 4VOIPU-S would take 4 trunk ports, the 4VOIPU-S with a 4VOIPDB-S would take 8 trunk
ports. Extension ports are not reserved until an IP phone is connected to the system. When the first IP phone
is plugged in, the system takes the next four consecutive extension ports available and automatically assigns
them as IP ports. The next three IP phones installed will use this group of ports. When the fifth IP phone is
connected, the next 4 consecutive extension ports available will be assigned as IP ports.
If the number of trunk ports reserved by the system is a concern (as it could be with the Aspire S system),
install the trunk cards first, then install the VOIPU-S PCB. This will allow the trunks to be assigned to the
COIU-S, DIOPU-S, etc. first. If there are not enough trunk ports available for the VoIP PCB, the system will
still recognize the card and allow it to be used for IP phones.
Once a VoIP PCB has been installed in the system and trunks have been reserved for the PCB, the only way to
release the trunks for use by other PCBs is to remove the VoIP PCB and delete the slot (using Program 90-05).

You can now power up the system and briefly check its operation. Before proceeding, be sure that:
●The common equipment is installed correctly.
●All extensions are cabled correctly.
●All earth ground and telco connections are installed correctly.
●PCBs are configured, equipped, and strapped correctly.
Powering Up the System
To avoid unexpected extension/trunk numbering if the VoIP PCB registers with the system
first, install the VoIP PCB after the other types of extension/trunk PCBs have been installed.
When powering the system up or down, wait 10 seconds before pressing the button again. This
allows the system to complete the startup/shutdown process.
1.Install all the required PCBs into the system cabinet.
2.Plug in all system telephones. A display telephone should be plugged into port 01 (extension 301).
3.Plug in the AC power cord for the cabinet into its surge protector.

or the first time, hold the LOAD button on the CPU and turn the AC
Note: Refer to TROUBLESHOOTING (page 3-16) if the system does not boot.
The system will automatically recognize each PCB installed in the system. If a PCB has previously been
installed in a slot and another type of PCB is to be installed in that same slot, the PCB must be first be
removed from the cabinet and then the slot definition removed using Program 90-05 prior to installing the
new PCB.
This same condition applies to extensions and other devices connected to the system. For example, if a port
was previously used for a keyset and a DSS Console is to be installed in that same port, it must first be undefined in Program 10-03 before the console is connected.
For more information on Cold and Hot system starts, refer to Central Processing Unit (CPU) PCB (Figure 2-3) (page 2-6).
Whenever powering down the system, check to make sure the only LED flashing on the CPU card itself is the
LD2 LED (farthest right of the LEDs). This LED is located in the lower left-hand corner of the CPU. If any
other LEDs are flashing on the CPU, wait until they stop or else the system data may be corrupted.

Section 2: PCB Installation and Startup
To avoid unexpected extension/trunk numbering if the VoIP PCB registers with the system
The order in which SLIU-S and ESIU-S PCBs are physically inserted determines the numbering plan.
The installer must install extension PCBs in order (i.e.; slot 3 first, slot 4 next, etc.) for a sequential numbering plan.
For example, as the CPU provides 8 digital station ports (ext. 301-308), when 2 more station cards are
installed in the following order, the numbering plan below would apply:

Saving Your Configuration
When you are done programming, you must be out of a program’s options to exit (pressing the MSG key
will exit the program’s option). Press the SPK key. Any changes made will be saved to the CPU.
1.Press MSG key to exit the program’s options, if needed.
2.Press SPK. You see, "Saving System Data" if changes were made to the system’s programming.
3.The display shows "Complete Data Save" when completed and will exit the phone to an idle mode.
Backing Up/Restoring a Database
Due to database differences, saved customer databases are not interchangeable between the
Aspire S and Aspire systems. The PCPro will prevent the upload of an incorrect database by disabling the Upload button when the system database does not match the system to which you are
connected. However, when using Program 90-04 : Load Data, the system will not be able to prevent an incorrect upload. It is important to make sure you only load data saved from an Aspire S to
an Aspire S system and data saved from an Aspire to an Aspire system.
As a precaution for existing systems which have already been programmed, it is recommended that the customer database be saved prior to updating the system software. There are two methods of saving the database
- either using the PCPro application or saving directly to a blank 32 meg CompactFlash card. Using PCPro,
download the database and save the file on the PC’s hard drive. To save the database using a blank 32 meg
compact flash card (P/N 0891064), insert the card into the CPU and, using Program 90-03, save the software. Due to the file’s naming structure, note that a compact flash card can only hold one customer database
(each database is saved to a directory called DATA - this directory would be overwritten if a second database
were saved to the same card). Each database to be saved will require its own separate card (unless you
choose to rename the directory after it is saved, then rename it back to DATA when you need to access the
database).
If the customer data needs to be reloaded, the method for restoring the database is determined by how the
database was saved. Using PCPro, the customer database is uploaded using the Upload option within the
application. If the database is stored on a CompactFlash card, use Program 90-04, with the database to be
restored installed in the CPU.
When restoring a database file, as the slot definitions may be different, remove all PCBs from
the system. After the system has been reset, you can reinstall the PCBs. You can use Program 10-03
or Program 90-13-03 prior to updating to record the current slot definitions. If the PCBs are not
removed, the trunk and extension port assignments may be reassigned, depending on which PCB
syncs up with the system first.
After reloading the customer data to the system, exit programming mode (this could take a minute or more
to save the database), then r
all the uploaded programming changes will be in effect. Wait a few minutes for the programming to take
affect before accessing any lines or special system features. Otherwise some unusual LED indications may
be experienced. To prevent the CompactFlash card from possibly being over-written, remove the card after
reloading the database.
When restoring a database file, as the slot definitions may be different, remove all PCBs from
the system. After the system has been reset, you can power down the system and then reinstall the
PCBs. You can use Program 10-03 or Program 90-13-03 prior to updating to record the current slot
definitions. If the PCBs are not removed, the trunk and extension port assignments may be reassigned, depending on which PCB syncs up with the system first.

Important
In some cases, when testing the operation of an extension port when connecting to a Cordless II, Cordless
Lite II, or 2PGDAD module, a technician may connect a line cord directly from an extension port on the Aspire/Aspire S ESIU PCB or Aspire S CPU. Though
this is not the recommended connection, it can be used to check if the extension has dial tone.
Should a direct connection of this type be made to the base station of the Cordless II or Cordless Lite II, or to
a 2PGDAD module, the line cord must be 2-wire (1-pair). If a 2-pair wire is used, the system will provide
power to the unused pair. This can prevent the cordless telephone from acquiring a link with the base station
or it can damage the 2PGDAD module or the Aspire station card.
The recommended connection is to punch down 2 wires to the cross-connect block, then connect the extension block to the RJ61 connector on the PCB or CPU.

EXTENSION CUTDOWN SHEET
Extension Cutdown Sheet Configuration (Figure 3-4)
Due to the inherent flexibility of the universal PCB slot configuration, standard cutdown sheets for extension
cabling do not apply.
Note:The order in which the extension PCBs (8ESIU-S, 4SLIU-S, 4SLIDB-S) are installed
determines the assigned extension number.
For example, given that the CPU provides 8 digital station ports (1-8) and 2 analog ports (9-10), an 8ESIU-S
installed in slot #3 would use extension numbers 311-318, if two 8ESIU-S PCBs or 4SLIU-S with the
4SLIDB-S PCBs were installed in the cabinet in the order below, the numbering plan would correspond as
follows:
Order of InstallPCB Slot #Ext Numbers
11 (CPU digital ports)301-308
22 (CPU analog ports)309-310
34311-318
43319-326
To determine extension assignments for the system cutdown, the installer must identify the following in
order:
●Order of installation (if additional PCBs installed after initially powering up)
●Slot used
●PCB type (8ESIU-S, 4SLIU-S, 4SLIDB-S)
●Connector
To determine where any group of extensions is installed, note the order of install, slot, PCB connector and
PCB type.
On the following page is the extension cutdown sheet (Figure 3-4). Make as many copies as you need. Be
sure to keep careful records of your installation.
