Regulatory Warnings
Industry Canada (IC)
Equipment Attachment Limitations
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operational safety requirements. The department does not guarantee the equipment will
operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company (Telco). The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions might not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company
cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
For their own protection, users should ensure the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal
metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

4 Introduction
The PIKA Digital T1/E1 PCIe card provides a solution for voice and data applications with four spans available for use with T1 or
E1 connectivity (SW configurable). The card is part of the HMP family of PIKA cards; all digital signal processing is done on the
host processor.
The card supports several types of Telco central office switches and private branch exchanges (PBX).
Features
• Quad span
• Total bandwidth of up to 6.176 Mb/s in T1 mode and up to 8.192 Mb/s in E1 mode
• 8.192 MHz span-multiplexed local TDM bus (128 timeslots)
• Dual reference PLL for line clock referencing, control and monitoring
• Integrated support for PIKA Technologies’ AllOnHost architecture
• Host processing architecture enabling customers to benefit from market improvements in PCI and processor architectures
Interfaces
The Digital T1/E1 PCIe Board has a PCI Express 1.0a compliant host interface for installation in standard IBM x86 or compatible
computers. It also provides four digital line interfaces. The digital line interfaces are used to connect to Telco-provided T1 or E1
digital lines.
Part Number and Serial Number
Each board has a part number and a serial number label. The part number is in the form PN PIK-xxx-yyyyy and the serial number is
in the form SN PIK-xx-yyyyy.
4.1 Compliance

NOTE:
The term self-declared indicates the card was tested by a third-party test facility, but does not require an official approval
number by a country or region’s approval standard authority. For the TBR21 Telecom specification, testing was
performed by an in-house test facility.

5 Board Description
The following sections provide a detailed description of the Digital Gateway PCIe board:
• Block diagram ( see page 8) – high-level overview of the board circuitry
• Board dimensions and component layout ( see page 9) – physical size of the board and physical layout of various components
on the board.
• Jumper settings ( see page 10) – description of jumper settings
• Expansion boards ( see page 10) – addition of line interfaces on a daughter board.
• Connector pinouts ( see page 10) – description of each electrical connection on all connectors
5.1 Block Diagram
The following figure is a high-level diagram of the circuitry on the Digital T1/E1 PCIe board. Any components located within the
large dashed lines indicate components located on the board.
5
All data communication occurs between the PC and the Digital T1/E1 PCIe board using the PCI Express bus interface. Control
information is sent via the board’s Field-programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to set up, configure, and control the various
components on the board. For example, the PIKA AllOnHost driver may send a message to each of the framers to configure them
for T1.

5.2 Board Dimensions and Component LayoutPIKA T1/E1 (HMP) PCIe Board
The heart of the Digital T1/E1 PCIe board is the Altera EP2C20 FPGA that streams data to and from the host processor through
its DMA controller providing a minimum amount of latency. The FPGA also controls and monitors the line reference clocking in
conjunction with the DPLL.
Communication with each digital line interface is done over a single high-speed serial data interface. A single quad framer interfaces
to all four line interfaces through other digital line circuitry for connecting to the Telco. The framer formats the digital audio for
transmission on the telephone network.
All applications processing such as conferencing and audio playback/record are done on the host.
5.2 Board Dimensions and Component Layout
The Digital T1/E1 PCIe board conforms to the PCIe 1.0a electromechanical specifications for card dimensions. The card is slightly
shorter than “half” length and should fit into any standard chassis.
The following figure is a detailed diagram showing the dimensions of the card and some of the components along its perimeter.
Three views are shown:
• Top view (looking down on the card).
• Side view (looking at the side with line interface modules).
• End view (looking straight at the end with the connector).

Note:
All measurements are metric and are approximate. For imperial measurements in inches, divide the metric measurement by
25.
5.3 Jumper Settings
The Digital T1/E1 PCIe card has four jumpers that correspond to the four T1/E1 digital line interface jacks, as shown in the
following figure. If a line is going to be used for digital logging, the corresponding jumper must be removed from the card. For
example, Jumper 1 must be removed if Span 1 is going to be used for digital logging.
5.4 Expansion Boards
5
The Digital and Analog expansion connectors allow for future expansion of board capabilities by installing daughter boards onto the
board. Daughter boards will have maximal dimensions not exceeding the baseboard dimensions.
5.5 Connector Pinouts
Digital Line Jacks
A Digital T1/E1 PCIe board has four T1/E1 digital line interface jacks. The following figure shows the T1/E1 digital line interface
jacks on the Digital T1/E1 PCIe board.
