Installing the Hardware

NOTE: Dialogic recommends that you install Dialogic® hardware before Dialogic® software. However, if you are adding hardware to an existing system, you do not need to uninstall existing Dialogic software.

1.With your computer on the static-safe work area, switch off the power and disconnect all power cords from the electrical outlets.

2.Remove the chassis cover plate.

3.Select an empty PCI expansion bus slot and remove the slot’s retaining screw and access cover plate (if applicable).

Unpack the Dialogic® DM3 Media Board (“board”) according to the following steps:

1.Prepare a static-safeguarded work area.

2.Carefully remove the board from the shipping carton and anti-static packaging. Handle the board by the edges and avoid touching the board’s components.

3.Lay the board on the static-dissipative work surface.

NOTE: Place boards in static-shielding bags when carrying boards from station to station.

CAUTION: Do not remove the board from the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install it. Observe proper anti-static precautions at all times.

Configuring the Hardware

Board Identification

The DM3 device driver, part of the Dialogic® System Software, assigns board instance numbers in ascending order (beginning with 0) as it detects each board in your system. A board instance number is the identification (ID) number used by the system software to recognize the board.

NOTE: If you add a board to the system, the existing board instance (ID) numbers may change, depending upon the PCI bus and slot number where the new board is installed.

Windows System

After the Dialogic hardware and the Dialogic System Software are installed, refer to the Dialogic® Configuration Manager (DCM) utility to retrieve the board instance (ID) number(s) assigned to the board(s) in your system.

See the DCM online help for more details about board identification.

Linux System

In a Linux system, you must set SW1 to a unique number for each DM3 board in your system so that the Power On Self Test (POST) for the board(s) can complete successfully. Use a non-magnetic screwdriver to turn SW1 to 1 of 16 board settings, 0-9 or A-F.

After the Dialogic® hardware and Dialogic® System Software are installed, refer to the proper configuration files to retrieve the board instance (ID) number(s) assigned to the board(s) in your system. See the Dialogic® Software Installation Guide for Linux for more information about Linux configuration files.

4.If you are not installing your board in an ISA form factor PCI slot, remove the ISA edge retainer from the board.

5.Using the slot’s board guides, insert the board edge connector into the bus slot. Press firmly until the board is securely seated in the slot.

6.Replace and tighten the slot’s retaining screw to secure the board firmly in the chassis (if applicable).

7.Connect the RJ-48C jacks on the board bracket to the switch using a digital telephone cross-over cable.
