Regulatory Warnings

Industry Canada (IC)

Equipment Attachment Limitations

NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective and operational safety requirements. The department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company (Telco). The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions might not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

For their own protection, users should ensure that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules for the United States.

A label is located on the solder side of the unit containing the FCC registration number. The following information must be provided upon request to your local telephone company:

Facility Interface Code: 04DU9-BN/DN/1KN/1SN

Service Order Code: 6.0Y

4 Introduction

The PIKA T1/E1 PCI board provides a solution for voice and data applications with four spans available for use with T1 or E1 connectivity. The T1/E1 is software configurable, with no hardware jumpers or switches, and can be installed into any 32-bit PCI slot.

The card is part of the HMP family of PIKA boards where all digital signal processing is done on the host processor.

The board is software configured via a software API to use either T1 or E1 adaptation with a suite of connectivity protocols. The card also supports several types of Telco central office switches and private branch exchanges (PBX).

Features

• Quad span

• Total bandwidth of up to 6.176 Mb/s in T1 mode and up to 8.192 Mb/s in E1 mode • 8.192 MHz span-multiplexed local TDM bus (128 timeslots)

• Dual reference DPLL for line clock referencing, control and monitoring • Integrated support for PIKA Technologies’ AllOnHost architecture

• Host processing architecture enables customers to benefit from market improvements in PCI and processor architectures

Interfaces

The T1/E1 provides a PCI 2.2 compliant data bus interface for installation in standard IBM x86 or compatible computers. It also provides four digital line interfaces. Digital line interfaces are used to connect to T1 or E1 digital lines provided by the Telco.

Part Number and Serial Number

Each board has a part number and a serial number label. The part number is in the form PN PIK-xx-yyyyy and the serial number is in the form SN PIK-xxx-yyyyy.

4.1 Compliance

The T1/E1 PCI board is certified compliant for use in the United States, Canada and European union countries. The following tables list approval information for EMC/EMI, Telecom, and safety standards.

NOTE: The term self-declared indicates the card was tested by a third-party test facility, but does not require an official approval number by a country or region’s approval standard authority. For the TBR21 Telecom specification, testing was

performed by an in-house test facility.

5 Board Description

The following sections provide a detailed description of the Digital T1/E1 PCI board, including the following information: • Block diagram ( see page 8) – high-level overview of the card circuitry

• Board dimensions ( see page 9) – physical size of the card and its components • Component layout ( see page 10) – physical layout of various components on the card • Jumper settings ( see page 11) – various options that can be configured in the field • Expansion boards ( see page 11) – addition of line interfaces on a daughter board.

• Connector pinouts ( see page 12) – description of each electrical connection on all connectors

5.1 Block Diagram

The following figure is a high-level diagram of the circuitry on the T1/E1 PCI board. Any components located within the large dashed lines indicate components located on the board.

Digital T1/E1 PCI (HMP) Board 5.1 Block Diagram

(13)

All data communication occurs between the PC and the T1/E1 PCI board using the PCI bus interface. Control information is sent along the board’s main data/control bus to setup, configure, and control the various components on the card. For example, the AllOnHost driver may send a message to each of the framers to configure them.

The heart of the T1/E1 PCI is the Xilinx Spartan II FPGA that streams data to and from the host processor through its DMA controller providing a minimum amount of latency. The FPGA also controls and monitors the line reference clocking in conjunction with the DPLL.

Communication with each digital line interface is done over a single high-speed serial data interface. A single quad framer interfaces to all four line interfaces through other digital line circuitry for connecting to the Telco. The framer formats the digital audio for transmission on the telephone network.

All applications processing, such as conferencing and audio playback/record, are done on the host.

5.2 Board Dimensions

The T1/E1 PCI board conforms to the PCI 2.2 specification for board dimensions. The board is of short length and should fit in any standard chassis.

The following figure is a detailed diagram showing the dimensions of the board and some of the components along its perimeter. Three views are shown:

• Top view (looking down on the card).

• Side view (looking at the side with line interface modules). • End view (looking straight at the end with the connector).

Note: All measurements are metric and are approximate. For imperial measurements in inches, divide the metric measurement by 25.

5.3 Component Layout

The T1/E1 PCI board uses surface mount technology to ensure a low component profile. The following diagrams show the on-board components for both the front and back of the board, respectively.

5.6 Connector Pinouts

Digital Line Jacks

A T1/E1 PCI board has four T1/E1 digital line interface jacks. The following diagram shows the T1/E1 digital line interface jacks.

Connector Pinouts

The T1/E1 PCI digital line interface connectors are terminated with an industry-standard RJ-48C connector. Each connector provides access to a T1/E1 digital line interface. The following figure shows the pinouts on the RJ-48C digital line interface jack. The Transmit and Receive lines are with respect to the T1/E1 PCI board, not the Telco line.
