Preparing the D/4PCI Linecard for Installation
Before installing the Dialogic D/4PCI linecard in the OneBox Telephony Server platform,
you need to set its default line state (hook-switch state) and determine the ports it will
handle so you can assign its linecard identification number.
Setting the Default Line State (Hook-Switch State)
The D/4PCI linecard has a configurable default line state (hook-switch state). This setting
determines how the D/4PCI will respond to incoming telephone calls when the OneBox
platform is turned on but either OneBox or the Dialogic System Software (device driver)
is not running.
•If switch SW4 is in the OFF position, the default line state setting is onhook; callers
will get a ring-no-answer (RNA) response.
•If switch SW4 is in the ON position, the default line state setting is offhook; callers
will get a busy signal.
Note If the computer is turned off, callers will get an RNA response.
We recommend that you set the default line state to offhook.SwitchSW4,shownin
Figure 1, controls the default line state.
To set the default line state:
•Slide the switch SW4 to the ON position, as shown in Figure 2.

Assigning a Linecard Identification Number
Each Dialogic linecard installed in the OneBox Telephony Server 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 the Dialogic System Software to determine
which linecard is sending a signal. Unique linecard identification numbers must be
assigned in ascending order to each linecard starting at 1.
OneBox assigns port numbers in ascending order based on the linecard identification
number. For example, if a D/4PCI linecard installed in the platform is assigned the
linecard identification number 1, the four ports provided by the linecard will be
designated ports 1–4. If another D/4PCI linecard installed in the platform is assigned the
linecard identification number 2, the four ports provided by the linecard will be
designated ports 5–8. If your platform will have more than one linecard, make note of the
linecard identification number of each linecard to clarify the process of connecting the
platform to the telephone system.
IMPORTANT
Each linecard installed in the platform must use a unique linecard identification number. If
two linecards installed in the platform use the same linecard identification number, the
Dialogic System Software (the device drivers) will be unable to locate either linecard.
Do
not use linecard identification number 0 for any Dialogic PCI linecard. OneBox
Telephony Server does not support the automatic linecard identification number
assignment scheme for PCI linecards (called Geographic Sequencing by Dialogic).
To assign a linecard identification number:
•Select the linecard identification number for the linecard by dialing rotary switch
SW1 (refer to Figure 1 for the location of switch SW1).
If you are… Then…
Replacing an existing card Select the identification number used by the
linecard you are replacing.
Adding another card Select a new identification number for the
linecard.

Installing the D4/PCI Linecard in the Platform
Since Dialogic D/4PCI linecards are designed to be installed in the PCI expansion bus,
the interrupt requests and memory addresses used by the cards are assigned by the BIOS
of the platform, not by configuring jumpers or switches. All PCI linecards installed in the
platform should share IRQ 5. The method of assigning this interrupt will vary depending
on the particular BIOS and platform used. For example, a BIOS may allow you to assign
IRQ 5 to the PCI expansion slots you intend to use for the linecards. Another BIOS may
automatically assign IRQ 5 to the PCI expansion slot based on its location in the
platform. Refer to the platform documentation to determine how to configure the
platform to assign IRQ 5 to expansion slots used by PCI linecards.
After you have prepared the Dialogic PCI linecards for installation and have determined
how to assign IRQ 5 to the expansion slots they use, you can install the linecard in the
computer platform.
IMPORTANT
Dialogic D/4PCI linecards cannot be used with any other makes or models of
telephony linecards. If other makes or models of telephony linecards are installed
in the platform, they must be removed prior to installing D/4PCI linecards.
To install D/4PCI linecards:
1. If possible, configure the Dialogic System Service to start manually.
If Dialogic System Software is… Then…
Installed on the platform Continue to step 2.

Connecting the D/4PCI to the Telephone System
With the D/4PCI linecard(s) installed in the platform, you can now cable the platform to the
telephone system. As described in “Assigning a Linecard Identification Number,” OneBox
assigns port numbers in ascending order based on the linecard identification number.
Therefore, the D/4PCI linecard to which you assigned the linecard identification number 1
will be assigned port numbers 1–4, and the linecard to which you assigned the linecard
identification number 2 will be assigned port numbers 5–8 (as shown in Figure 3). Keep this
port number assignment scheme in mind when connecting each D/4PCI linecard to the
telephone system.
Figure 3. D/4PCI linecard port assignments
To cable Dialogic D/4PCI linecards to the telephone system:
•Plug the linecords (jacks) from the telephone system (switch) to the RJ-11 connectors
on the D/4PCI (refer to the port assignment diagram shown in Figure 3).
Note Country-specific linecord adapters may be required to connect the telephony
server to the local public telephone network. If these adapters are required and not
included with the linecards, please contact your technical service representative.

Using the Dialogic Configuration Manager – DCM
The Dialogic Configuration Manager (DCM) is a utility that allows you to configure a
number of parameters used by the DNA System Software to control the D/4PCI linecard.
Each time you start the Dialogic Configuration Manager it automatically detects any
linecards installed in the platform. The DCM then matches the linecards it detects with
the corresponding configuration data.
Note The DCM has a comprehensive online help system. Consult the Dialogic
Installation and Configuration Knowledge Base book in the help system for
advice about troubleshooting the DNA Version 3.3 System Software.
Starting and Stopping Dialogic System Service
The Dialogic System Service downloads firmware to the D/4PCI and initializes its device
drivers. If you are installing the Dialogic System Software DNA version 3.3 for the first
time, the Dialogic services have not been started.
Note Only users with Windows NT Administrator privileges on the platform can start
or stop Dialogic System Service. If a system administrator will not be available at
all times, set the Startup Mode for the Dialogic System Service to Automatic
