This document provides a technical description of Odin TeleSystems’ Sleipnir-1-PCI
adapter card. This presentation is targeted to systems integrators and application
developers who are developing telecommunications systems and/or software applications
using the Sleipnir-1-PCI platform. The purpose of this document is to provide the needed
information about the hardware to allow software developers to efficiently integrate
Sleipnir-1-PCI into their overall system under design.
For information on how to develop host applications utilizing the OTX Hardware Device
Driver Application Programming Interface (API), please refer to the “Programmer’s
Guide for OTX Hardware API” document (Odin TeleSystems Inc. document number
1411-1-SAA-1006-1). For information on how to develop custom DSP applications,
please refer to “Programmer’s Guide for OTX C54x DSP Software Development Kit”
(Odin document number 1412-1-SAA-1007-1). And finally, for help on how to install the
Sleipnir-1-PCI card and the OTX Device Driver Software, please refer to the Installation
Guide for OTX PCMCIA Adapters (Odin TeleSystems Inc. document number 1512-1HCA-1003-1).
2 Sleipnir-1-PCI Overview
Sleipnir-1-PCI is single span T1/E1/J1 adapter for the PCI Local bus. It is available in
two different configurations:
• LAN (Local Area Network) and WAN (Wide Area Network) configuration
• Telecom configuration.
The Sleipnir LAN and WAN configuration is supplied with a network driver and
supporting software to allow high speed PPP and Frame Relay connectivity. No
programming is needed in this configuration.
The Sleipnir telecom configuration is a member of the Odin Telecom frameworX (OTX)
product family. It is supported by the OTX device driver and by the OTX Hardware
Application Programming Interface (API). It is populated with a Texas Instruments
TMS320VC5510 400 Mips DSP and 16MB external memory. Equipped with the
appropriate OTX software modules, Sleipnir-1-PCIcan be utilized in a variety of T1/E1,
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), Frame Relay, and Signaling System #7
(SS#7) applications.
The Sleipnir-1-PCI supports a single T1/J1 or E1 interface at the speeds of 1.544 Mbps
and 2.048 Mbps, respectively. The same board supports both T1/J1 and E1. The Sleipnir1-PCI is available with two different connector options:
