FXO-2

See diagram for corresponding
ports and module slots.

e.g.
The module inserted at Slot A corresponds
to Ports 1 and 2.

The module inserted at Slot B corresponds
to Ports 3 and 4.

A) Ensure you are grounded.

(i.e., Touch unpainted metal to avoid
destroying a computer with electrostatic
discharge, work on non-carpeted areas, etc.)

B) Carefully remove card and components from packaging.

Additional cards and components may be purchased separately.

Install your choice of supported software.

(e.g., Asterisk®, FreeSWITCH, Yate, CallWeaver, etc.)

See the list of compatible software at:

Thank you for purchasing the Sangoma A200 card!
Please follow these instructions to begin using your new card.

* If using one or more Remora daughter cards, you must attach a Molex

Power Connector from your computer’s power supply unit to the A200
main card.

When using FXS, you must always attach a Molex Power Connector
from your computer’s power supply unit, even for a small system with no
Remora. This is also recommended when using FXO on a small system,
but it is not necessary.

Attach additional Remora card(s) using a backplane.

It is ideal to put the Remora(s) to the right of the main card, so that the main card always
contains port 1. However, if space is a concern, either side is appropriate.

The lowest number port on the backplane corresponds to port number 1 in the stack.
(e.g., JP6 on a 4-connector backplane.)

 3. INSTALL THE DRIVERS (WANPIPE® CD)

Your A200 Card is fax synchronization ready.

Fax machines, connected to a PBX using PRI or BRI connection, run inconsistently at best,
simply because the analog interface supporting the fax machine is not synchronized to the
PSTN timing. Lack of a properly synchronized connection can result in faxes that are distorted,
missing lines and even fail outright.

To synchronize your new A200 to your digital card (A100-series or A500) simply connect the

jumper pins† on both cards via a two-wire jumper cable (each sold separately).

The digital card must have a HWEC (hardware echo canceller).

The minimum  rmware that supports clock synchronization for the A200 is v10.

New Sangoma A-Series hardware comes with a lifetime warranty for
replacement and repair from the date of purchase.

This includes a no-questions-asked 30-day money back guarantee, Sangoma's renowned
free technical support, and free replacement in the unlikely event of a defect.

IMPORTANT – To qualify for the lifetime warranty, the end user must:

 Register this product online at: http://www.sangoma.com/warranty/register/

 Be able to prove point of purchase. To qualify for Lifetime Warranty protection, the product

must have been purchased from an Empowered by Sangoma partner.

All A-Series cards contain Crash-proof Field Upgradable Firmware.

This means your A200 card has TWO (2) Firmware ash devices.

During card ashing, the new rmware is stored into the primary ash device.
If the machine crashes during card ashing and causes the primary ash device to
become corrupted, the secondary ash device can be selected to boot the card.
This will allow you to re-ash the primary device again.

In order to select the secondary ash device:

1. Shut down the machine and take out the A200 card.

2. Enter rmware recovery mode by connecting the two jumper pins

†

on the upper

rear of the card.

3. Restart the machine with rmware recovery jumper set.

4. Proceed to re-ash the card.

5. Once re-ashing is completed, shut down the machine and remove jumper.

6. Restart the machine with new card rmware.

If you are unsure of how to upgrade your rmware/ash your card, detailed instructions are
provided on wiki.sangoma.com.
