Dialogic® DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards Programmer's Manual Issue 5
If the board is not licensed to run the requested software configuration, status value of 0xfe is returned.
Parameter Description:
flags - Global flags
Bit 0 is set to 1 to indicate that the user does not wish to use signaling software. This allows operation of the board without a software license button providing the board is used only for T1/E1 interface and switching purposes. If signaling software is required, then this bit must be set to zero.
Bit 9 is set to 1 to disable automatic MTP route configuration, in which case the user must send individual MTP Route Configuration messages for each destination. When set to zero, the board automatically configures an MTP route to each adjacent signaling point using the link set directly connected to the signaling point.
Bit 10 is reserved for future use and must be set to 1.
Bit 12 is set to 1 to cause all signaling links to be automatically activated. Usually, this bit is set to zero and the user sends individual MTP Link Activation requests to activate each link.
Bit 15 is set to 1 for diagnostic purposes to cause the results of internal board configuration to be passed to the host. When set, all confirmation messages generated internally on the board during the configuration sequence are sent to the module_id 0xdf on the host.
All other bits are reserved for future use and must be set to zero.
l1_flags - level 1 flags
Bit 0 controls the reference source used for
Bit 6 and 7 together select the initial CT bus clocking mode as shown in the following table. The clocking mode can be modified subsequently and dynamically using the MVD_MSG_CNFCLOCK message.
Bit 7 | Bit 6 | CT bus clocking mode | |
0 | 0 | The CT bus interface is disabled - The board is electrically | |
|
| isolated from the other boards using the CT bus. The CT bus | |
|
| connection commands may still be used, but the connections made | |
|
| are only visible to this board. The | |
|
| to the source selected by bit 0 of this flags parameter. | |
|
|
|
|
0 | 1 | Primary Master, A Channel - The board drives CT bus clock set A | |
|
| using the clock source selected by bit 0 of this flags parameter. | |
|
|
|
|
1 | 0 | Secondary Master, B Channel - The board is configured to drive | |
|
| clock set B in Secondary Master mode. The | |
|
| synchronized to the CT bus clock set A. It will automatically switch | |
|
| to become Primary Master if the board driving clock set A fails. | |
|
|
|
|
1 | 1 | Slave, initially A Channel – The board uses the CT bus clocks, | |
|
| which must be generated by another board on the CT bus. Initially | |
|
| the board recovers from clock set A, though will switch over | |
|
| automatically to recover from clock set B if set A fails. | |
