This document explains how to install or replace one or more Dialogic®D/41EPCI™,
D/120JCT-LS™, or D/240PCI-T1™linecards in a OneBox®platform. It also explains how to
install Dialogic System Software versions 2, 3.3, and SR5.01. The information in this document
pertains to platforms running version 1.1 or later of OneBox.
We recommend that you read this entire document before disassembling the hardware.
IMPORTANT
Hardware conflicts and configuration issues can occur between hardware devices installed in a computer
platform. Because Ericsson sells Dialogic PCI linecards as a kit for installation in computer platforms that
we have not tested, we cannot guarantee the compatibility of these cards in your computer platform.
Ericsson will offer troubleshooting advice and assistance to the best of its knowledge and ability. However,
you are ultimately responsible for resolving all hardware conflicts and configuration issues.
Dialogic PCI linecards cannot be used in a computer platform that also contains Dialogic ISA linecards
(includes D/41D, D/41ESC, and D/160SC-LS). If ISA linecards are currently installed in the platform, they must
be removed prior to installing the PCI linecards. Dialogic PCI linecards can be used in conjunction with all
Brooktrout™fax cards.
This document does not discuss how to install or configure the Dialogic D/4PCI linecard. Although we sell
this card for use in telephony server platforms, it lacks the telephony bus connections to be fully compatible
with the other linecards that we support. For information on installing and configuring D/4PCI linecards,
please see the spare parts document Dialogic D/4PCI Linecard Installation and Replacement.

Before You Begin
Review this section before performing any of the procedures in this document. This
section provides important information about electrostatic discharge and the tools and
equipment required to complete the installation.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning
Computer components are extremely sensitive to electro-static discharge (ESD). You
must wear an anti-static wrist strap and install the linecard at an ESD-safe workstation.
Do not open the static-protective bag until necessary. Before removing the linecard from
the static-protective bag, touch the bag to a grounded, unpainted metal surface for at least
two seconds (this drains the static electricity from the bag and from your body). Turn off
and unplug your computer before removing the case.
Gathering Tools and Equipment
Before you begin disassembling the OneBox platform, verify that you have the following
required tools and equipment:
• OneBox Telephony Server program CD-ROM
• Dialogic System Software program SR5.01 CD-ROM (if applicable)
• One or more Dialogic PCI linecards (D/41EPCI, D/120JCT-LS, or D/240PCI-T1)
• CTbus cable to connect multiple PCI cards
• New feature key diskette (if the total number of ports available after the addition of
new linecards exceeds the number of ports for which you are currently licensed)
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Linecord adapters, if necessary
• If you are installing a D/240PCI-T1 linecard, the following additional hardware:
− Channel Service Unit (CSU), may be integrated into the telephone system (switch)
− T-1 line–to–CSU cable
− CSU–to–D/240PCI-T1 cable
Refer to the “Cabling Dialogic D/240PCI-T1 Linecards to the Telephone System” section
for additional information.

Technical Specifications of Dialogic PCI Linecards
Tables 1–3 list the technical specifications for the three Dialogic PCI linecards approved
for use with OneBox:
• D/41EPCI 4-port linecard
• D/120JCT-LS 12-port linecard
• D/240PCI-T1 24-channel T-1 card
Figures 1 through 3 show the general layouts of these linecards.
Your local telephone company may require some of these specifications. For example, in
the United States, some telephone companies require an FCC registration number if the
linecard is connected directly to central office (CO) lines. Contact your local telephone
company for its requirements.

Preparing Dialogic PCI Linecards for Installation
Depending on the linecard you are installing, you will need to configure some or all of the
following components of the Dialogic PCI linecard before installing it in the OneBox
platform.
• Assign a linecard identification number based on the ports it will provide.
• Configure the linecard to use an SCbus clock (except on the D/120JCT-LS model).
• In the case of the D/41EPCI and the D/120JCT-LS, configure its default line state.
• If the platform has only PCI expansion slots, remove the slot retainer brackets from
the linecards.
Assigning the Linecard Identification Number
Each Dialogic linecard installed in the OneBox platform must be configured with a
unique linecard identification number (referred to by Dialogic as the Board ID, Board
Locator ID, or Board Locator Technology ID). This number, from 1 through F hex (1–15
decimal), is used by Dialogic System Software to determine which linecard is sending a
signal. If two or more linecards installed in the platform are configured to use the same
linecard identification number, the Dialogic System Software (device driver) will be
unable to locate either linecard. Unique linecard identification numbers must be assigned
in ascending order to each linecard starting at 1.
OneBox assigns line numbers in ascending order based on the linecard identification
number. For example, if you install a D/240PCI-T1 linecard to which you have assigned
linecard ID 1, the 24 channels it provides will be assigned by OneBox the line numbers
1–24. If you then install a D/41EPCI to which you have assigned linecard ID 2, the four
ports it provides will be assigned the line numbers 25–28.
Precedence in Mixed Systems
D/240PCI-T1 linecards must be assigned the lowest linecard identification numbers of
any linecards installed in the platform starting at ID 1. The D/240PCI-T1 will not
function properly if another model of PCI linecard, such as a D/41EPCI, is assigned a
lower linecard identification number. For example, if you are adding two D/240PCI-T1
linecards in a platform that currently has two D/41EPCI linecards, the D/240PCI-T1
linecards must be assigned ID 1 and ID 2, and the D/41EPCI linecards must be changed
to ID 3 and ID 4.

IMPORTANT
Do not configure any Dialogic PCI linecard to linecard identification number 0. We do not support
the automatic linecard identification number assignment scheme for PCI linecards (called
Geographic Sequencing by Dialogic).
To set the linecard identification number:
• Dial the rotary switch to select a unique linecard identification number, as shown in
the example in Figure 4.
For the location of the rotary switch, refer to:
- Figure 1 if you are installing a D/41EPCI (SW1)
- Figure 2 if you are installing a D/120JCT-LS (SW100)
- Figure 3 if you are installing a D/240PCI-TI (SW1)

Configuring the Linecard for SCbus Mode
To function in SCbus mode, the CTbus on the linecard must be configured to use an
SCbus clock. You configure the CTbus with hardware using jumpers or with software by
the Dialogic System Software, depending on the linecard you are installing.
• D/41EPCI and D/240PCI-T1 linecards use hardware to configure the CTbus.
• D/120JCT-LS linecards are configured automtically by the Dialogic System Software.
Skip to “Configuring the Default Line State (Hook Switch State).”
To configure a D/41EPCI or a D/240PCI-T1 for SCbus mode:
• Install jumpers on pins 1–2 of JP6 and JP7 as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
For the location of JP6 and JP7, refer to:
- Figure 1 if you are installing a D/41EPCI
- Figure 3 if you are installing a D/240PCI-T1

Configuring the Default Line State (Hook Switch State)
D/41EPCI and D/120JCT-LS linecards have a configurable default line state (hook switch
state). This setting determines how the linecards will respond to incoming telephone calls
when the OneBox platform is turned on, but either OneBox or the Dialogic System
Software is not running.
• If the switch is in the OFF position, the default line state is onhook; callers will get a
ring-no-answer (RNA) response.
• If the switch is in the ON position, the default line state is offhook; callers will get a
busy signal.
Note If the computer platform is turned off, callers will get an RNA response.
To set the default line state:
• Set the default line state of the linecard to offhook.
If you are preparing a… Then…
D/41EPCI Flip the SW2 switch position 1 to the ON position.
D/120JCT-LS Flip the SW1 switch position 1 to the ON position.
D/240PCI-T1 No configuration is necessary. The default line state for
these cards is offhook.

Removing the Slot Retainer Bracket
Depending on the design of the platform, you may need to remove the slot retainer bracket
from the inside edge of the linecard. Refer to Figure 1, Figure 2, or Figure 3 for the location
of the slot retainer bracket.
To remove the slot retainer bracket:
• Choose one:
If the platform is designed for… Then…
PCI cards only Remove the slot retainer bracket from the
end of the card before installing it.
ISA and PCI cards Leave the slot retainer bracket attached.
The slot retainer bracket allows you to
install the card in a platform that contains
both ISA and PCI slots (where the PCI
slots use the ISA form factor).
