TX 4000 PCI SS7 Network Interface Board Installation Manual

Overview of the TX 4000 board

Telephony bus switching

Switching for the TX 4000 board offers support for the H.100 bus within the H.100 architecture. On the TX 4000 board, switch connections are allowed for a total of 256 half duplex or 128 full duplex connections between local devices and the H.100 bus. Switch connections between local devices are non-blocking.

Ethernet connectivity

The TX 4000 board supports two 10/100Base-T Ethernet connections. These connections provide Fast Ethernet connectivity and IPv4 support. Ethernet connectivity provides the TX 4000 board with a connection to a redundant mate TX board or to a network of other SIGTRAN devices.

On-board memory

Each TX 4000 board includes 128 MB of SDRAM.

Trunk connectivity

The TX 4000 board supports up to four T1 or E1 connectors through two Dialogic® MD1 RJ-45 interfaces. Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ Signaling Software enables you to configure the board as either a T1 or an E1 board.

Refer to www.dialogic.com/declarations for a list of countries where Dialogic has obtained approval for the TX 4000 board.

Software components

TX 4000 boards require the following software components:

NaturalAccess software development environment that provides services for call control, system configuration, voice store and forward, and other functions. Each service has a standard programming interface for developing applications. For more information, refer to the Natural Access Developer's Reference Manual.

Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ Signaling Software that provides SS7 protocol layer executables and program interfaces for developing signaling and management applications. It also provides utilities that download configuration information to the TX boards and that control, monitor, and collect statistics on the SS7 protocol layer. For more information, refer to the Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ Signaling Software Configuration Manual.
