TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK CONNECTION: The telecommunication
interfaces of these Products are not intended for direct connection to “outside
plant” signal conductors (metallic). The Products shall be isolated, by channel
banks or office repeaters, from any connections to network or terminal
equipment, that lie outside of the same building. The telecommunication
interface connections are considered to be, and meet the requirements of,
SELV circuits (not TNV). The cables connecting to them shall be kept apart
from any cables of TNV circuits. Refer also to any region specific regulatory
requirements of network connection in Section
and Declarations

CAUTION
Anti-Static Handling Procedures: The Dialogic® SPCI2S and SPCI4 boards
(“boards” or “products”) contain Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESDs), which
may be permanently damaged if incorrectly handled. If boards are removed
from the host computer they must be handled in accordance with appropriate
anti-static handling procedures. Refer to: EN100015-1 Basic Specification:
Protection of Electrostatic Sensitive Devices: Part 1 General Requirements for
further details.
Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its protective
wrapper or from a host computer, place it on a grounded surface free of
static electricity. Do not slide boards over any surface.
ACHTUNG [Deutsch]
Durch elektrostatische Entladung können Zusatzkarten/-module beschädigt
werden. Wenn Module aus dem Gehäuse entfernt werden, muß das im
Einklang mit EN 100-015 Teil 1 Allgemeine Bestimmungen geschehen.

CAUTION
Temperature: The temperature in which these products operate, when
installed in a host computer, must not go below 0 °C (32 °F) or rise above 55
°C (131 °F). Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of

Dialogic® SPCI2S and SPCI4 Boards User Manual Issue 7
2 Introduction
2.1 Purpose
This document is a User Manual that addresses the Hardware aspects of the
Dialogic® SPCI2S and Dialogic® SPCI4 products. These products are SS7
Signaling Boards in PCI form factor.
Collectively, the two board variants may be referred to as Equipment Type
SPCI. The full Product IDs (ordering codes) for the two variants are
SS7SPCI2SQ and SS7SPCI4Q, although in this User Manual, and many other
documents, they are commonly known as SPCI2S and SPCI4.
This User Manual includes the specification of the products and a functional
description. It details all the interface connections, including pin-out, and
provides installation instructions.
It should be read in conjunction with the
Manual for SPCI2S and SPCI4∗ which gives further information on the use of
the boards, including a description of configuration parameters and
commands.
Dialogic® SS7 Boards Programmer’s
2.2 Overview
The SPCI2S and SPCI4 boards are intelligent multi-port SS7 signaling
interface boards capable of use in a telecommunications environment.
Embedded software support for many signaling systems is available including
the entire Signaling System Number 7 (SS7) protocol stack.
The SPCI4 board supports up to four primary rate telecommunications
interfaces; each can individually be configured at run-time under software
control to operate as an E1, T1 or J1 interface. The SPCI2S board supports up
to two primary rate telecommunications interfaces, but also supports up to
two synchronous V.11 (V.35 compatible) serial interfaces.
The on-board H.100 Computer Telephony (CT) Bus interface and digital
switch allows timeslots to be routed between the E1/T1/J1 interfaces, the
H.100 CT Bus and the on-board signaling processors. This enables bearer
(voice) circuits to be routed to other resource boards and permits flexible
routing of signaling timeslots through the system.
A signaling processor provides support for multiple HDLC-based signaling
channels including up to 4 SS7 signaling links. The signaling links may be
presented either as a timeslot on an external PCM interface, as a timeslot on
the CT Bus, or as a synchronous V.11 (V.35 compatible) serial interface.
Signaling links can all operate at 64kbit/s, 56kbit/s or 48kbit/s.
Software downloaded to the board at run-time implements the signaling
protocol and provides a message-based interface to the user's application
software running on the host computer. Software for several signaling
systems is available, including the following SS7 protocols: MTP, ISUP, TUP,
SCCP, TCAP, MAP, IS41 and INAP.
Software drivers for the board are available for many host operating systems,
including: Microsoft Windows

Section 2 Introduction
2.3 Hardware Overview
The SPCI2S and SPCI4 boards are full length PCI boards with 33MHz 32 bit
PCI interface. The boards are Universal expansion boards capable of detecting
the host signaling environment in use and adapting themselves to either +5V
or +3.3V signaling environments.
Note: The distinction is the signaling protocol used and not the power rail to which board
connects.
Each board has an H.100 CT Bus interface, which is used to provide
connectivity to further boards or to other H.100 CT Bus compatible boards,
such as voice processing and fax cards.
The H.100 CT Bus supports 4096 channels (or timeslots) and the associated
clock and framing signals. Each board is capable of generating the CT Bus
clocks, or can act as a slave. CT Bus channels may be used individually or can
be grouped to provide a higher bandwidth data path. The signals are carried
between boards in a host computer using an H.100 CT Bus ribbon cable.
2.4 System Requirements
To use the SPCI2S or SPCI4 signaling board, the host computer must meet
the following minimum specifications:
•This signaling board is for use only with UL listed computers that have
installation instructions detailing user installation of card cage
accessories.
• Rev. 2.1 PCI compliant computer system.
• One free 33MHz 32 bit PCI full size expansion slot.
