1. Product Description
The Dialogic® DM/V600BTEPEQ Media Board (“board”) is a high-density, high-performance, network interface board with two T1/E1 digital network interfaces in a full-length PCI Express form factor.
The DM/V600BTEPEQ Media board includes the following components, shown in the Physical Layout illustration:
RJ-48C jacks: Two connectors to T1 or E1 trunks.
General Network Interface Alarm LED:
Indicates when an alarm condition is present on one or both of the trunks.
Reset LED: Indicates when the board is in the reset state.
Power LED: Indicates when board power is good.

Unpacking the Board
Unpack the 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.
3. Configuring the Board
The DM/V600BTEPEQ Media board uses Plug and Play technology to simplify installation. No user configuration is required for IRQ or memory address.
System Software documentation for further information about the board ID numbers.
Setting CT Bus Termination
If you are connecting multiple boards via a CT Bus cable, the bus signal should be terminated on the boards that are located at the ends of the CT Bus cable. All other boards should be left in their factory default configuration with the CT Bus termination pins not linked.
To terminate the CT Bus, install a link clip over the pair of P5 pins indicated in the following figure.

Setting Power-off Loopback
SW1: Rotary switch used when setting board ID.
JP5: Boot-up Loopback Mode jumper. When unlinked, all trunks are in loopback mode from power-on until download completion. Factory default is loopback enabled (pins not linked, clip installed over one pin only).
Alarm/status LEDs: During power-up, the 16 LEDs indicate Power-On Self Test (POST) status. After the board is started, the first two columns of LEDs indicate status for each trunk. The green, yellow, and red LEDs indicate normal operation or Carrier Failure Alarms (CFAs) for each trunk as shown in the following table, and the Loopback LED indicates when the respective trunk is in loopback mode.

Power Budgeting Jumper P10: 3-pin jumper to set how the board responds to the system power budgeting function.
■P10 jumper in pins 2-3: Board adheres to power budgeting values set by system.
■P10 jumper in pins 1-2: Board ignores power budgeting values set by system.
Factory default is P10 jumper in pins 2-3.
CT Bus connector: H.100 telephony bus connector.
P5: CT Bus termination jumper block. Only the boards in the end positions of a CT Bus cable should be terminated. Factory default is unterminated (clip installed over one pin only).
PCI Express connector: Host bus connector. Compatible with x1 or larger PCI Express Link connectors.
Power-off Loopback Mode jumpers: Pairs of jumpers to set the power-off loopback mode for each trunk. Factory default is loopback enabled for all trunks (all pairs of pins linked).
■JP3X11 & JP4X11: Trunk 1 loopback mode.
■JP3X12 & JP4X12: Trunk 2 loopback mode.
Additional Information
Additional information about the DM/V600BTEPEQ Media board is available from a number of sources, such as via its product data sheet, which is
accessible at http://www.dialogic.com/products/list.asp. The product data sheet provides a functional description of the DM/V600BTEPEQ Media board, as well as information about its applications, configurations, features, and technical specifications.
Refer to the Release Guide and the online Release Update for your Dialogic® System Software release to verify that the DM/V600BTEPEQ Media board is supported in the release, and for information on any new features or issues that may relate to it.
The Regulatory Notices document that is packed with each DM/V600BTEPEQ Media board contains safety warnings and national requirements for proper operation of telecommunications equipment.
The DM/V600BTEPEQ Media board has the following manually configurable options:
■Board ID
■CT Bus termination
■Power-off loopback mode
■Boot-up loopback mode
■Power budgeting (see Choosing a Slot section below)
Setting the Board ID
When the system is started, each Dialogic® telecom board is assigned a board instance ID number that programs can use to identify individual boards in a multi-board system. The setting of SW1 controls the generation of the instance numbers.
Windows Systems: In a Windows system, leave SW1 set to the 0 position (the factory default setting) on all Dialogic telecom boards. This setting causes the system software to assign instance numbers geographically, based on the bus and slot numbers. Note that there is no way to know what the instance numbers will be until the system is started and configured, and the instance number for any given board is likely to
Each T1/E1 trunk on the DM/V600BTEPEQ Media board can be independently configured for front end loopback when the system is not powered up. As shipped from the factory, power-off loopback is enabled for all trunks. To disable power-off loopback on either trunk, remove the appropriate pair of jumper clips for the trunk as indicated in the Product Description section.
Setting Boot-up Loopback
The board’s loopback configuration during the boot-up interval (from power-on to completion of download) is set on a board-wide basis by jumper JP5. As shipped from the factory, the pins of JP5 are not linked (the clip is installed over one pin only), enabling loopback during boot-up. To disable boot-up loopback, install the clip over both pins of JP5.
4. Choosing a Slot
The DM/V600BTEPEQ Media board is a full length x1 form factor PCI Express board that requires 25W of power. The following explanation and guidelines are provided to ensure proper configuration of the product.
