3 Installation

This warning can be safely ignored.

For compatibility with the pre-built drivers the existing name format is retained for Linux 2.4 drivers e.g., sptcpi-2.4.18-14smp.o. However, this name format causes problems under Linux Kernel version 2.6; therefore, all Linux 2.6 drivers are named sptpci26.ko.

An install script, named install_spci_cpm.sh, is included in the package. This script installs the device driver, automatically allocates the major device numbers, and creates the four appropriate device nodes. This replaces the manual procedures to perform these operations, as described above.

The install script supports an optional remove parameter. This causes the device driver to be removed and the device nodes to be deleted.

The installation must be performed by a user with root privileges.

3.4.3Verifying Device Driver Loading

When the device driver is loaded it outputs status messages to the system log.

The system log is displayed using the command:

dmesg more

An example message is:

sptpci V1.06

Using major device number 127.

sptpci Device Id 0 @ Bus: 1 Device: 9 Function: 0

3.5Software Installation for Solaris

The Development Package for Solaris is distributed electronically. The distribution is in the form of two compressed files called dpksol32.Z and dpksol64.Z for use with 32 bit or 64 bit kernels respectively.

The Development Package is suitable for use in the following configurations:

Solaris 9 (32 and 64 Bit)

Solaris 10 (32 and 64 bit)

3.5.1Installing the Development Package for Solaris

Copy the appropriate file to the Solaris system. Take care to ensure the binary file integrity is maintained and the ".Z" file suffix remains in upper case.

The file must then be uncompressed and installed as shown below.

Note: This installation must be performed by a user with root privileges.

uncompress <dpksol32.Z / dpksol64.Z> pkgadd –d <dpksol32 / dpksol64>

The Solaris package installation utility (pkgadd) prompts for further input.

DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards specifications

Dialogic DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards are highly advanced and versatile communication solutions tailored for the demands of modern telephony and multimedia applications. These boards are designed to efficiently process voice, data, and signaling, making them an essential component for businesses looking to enhance their communication capabilities.

One of the standout features of the Dialogic DSI SPCI boards is their ability to handle multiple telephony protocols. This flexibility allows users to connect to various network types, whether PSTN, VoIP, or legacy systems, ensuring seamless interoperability. The boards support industry-standard protocols such as ISDN, SS7, and SIP, enabling integrated communication across diverse platforms.

The technology behind the Dialogic DSI SPCI boards incorporates state-of-the-art digital signal processing (DSP). This powerful DSP architecture provides efficient encoding and decoding of voice and video signals, leading to enhanced call quality and reduced latency. Moreover, the DSP technology supports advanced codecs, ensuring that voice communication is clear and intelligible, even over bandwidth-limited connections.

Another significant characteristic of these boards is their scalability. Organizations can start with a single board and expand their telecommunication capabilities as their needs grow. This scalability makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from small businesses to large enterprises, allowing for easy integration into existing infrastructures.

In addition to their powerful processing capabilities, Dialogic DSI SPCI boards also prioritize reliability and robustness. They are designed with a focus on fault tolerance, ensuring that telephony services remain uninterrupted even in the event of hardware failure. This resilience is critical for mission-critical applications where downtime can lead to significant revenue loss.

Furthermore, the boards feature extensive application development support. Developers can leverage the Dialogic API and various development kits to create custom telephony applications that meet specific business requirements. This programmability opens the door to innovative solutions, such as interactive voice response (IVR) systems, automated call distribution (ACD), and customer relationship management (CRM) integration.

In summary, Dialogic DSI SPCI Network Interface Boards are a cornerstone for organizations looking to innovate their telecommunication systems. With their support for multiple protocols, advanced DSP technology, scalability, reliability, and development support, these boards empower businesses to optimize their communication strategies and adapt to the evolving landscape of digital interaction.
