Connecting to an MVIP Bus
7.Continue as follows:
–If you want to connect the board to other 5536 WAN boards in the computer, skip to the next section, Connecting to an MVIP Bus.
–Otherwise, replace the computer cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then connect the board to the line, as described in Connecting to the Line on page 27.
CAUTION
Keep the computer closed while the board is running, so that the fan works properly and prevents overheating.
Connecting to an MVIP BusIf you connect multiple 5536 WAN boards in the same computer to an MVIP bus, and enable the boards’ MVIP bus connections, the boards can connect to each other. This connection enables 5536 boards in the same machine to exchange information through the shared Call Setup application.
When multiple 5536 WAN boards are connected on an MVIP bus, one board can pass calls of an unsupported channel type to another that supports the channel type. For example, an 5536 WAN board without digital modems (and therefore no support for speech channels) can pass speech calls to an 5536 WAN board with digital modem channels configured to accept speech calls.
