A116 Voice and Data Telephony Card
Overview
Sixteen T1/E1 ports with optimum PCI–Express interface for high performance voice and data applications
Mix T1 channel banks and E1 networks with full channel synchronization. TDM clocking mode lets network timing to be passed from a network-connected DS0 to any or all of the other ports so both T1 and E1 are supported simultaneously
Support for Asterisk® and FreeSwitch®
Fully compatible with all commercially available motherboards—proper PCI-standard interrupt sharing without manual tuning
Dimensions: Full height by half length (107mm x 176mm)
Connector: Dense 68 pin SCSI type interface
Intelligent hardware: Downloadable FPGA programming with multiple operating modes; add new features related to voice and/or data when they become available
Line decoding: HDB3, AMI, B8ZS
Framing: CRC-4, Non CRC4, ESF, SF, D4, J1 (Japan)
PCI Express Bus Version: 1.1
Maximum operational power: 5.5 W (1.67 A @ 3.3 V)
Temperature range: 0 – 50 °C
Ring buffer DMA handling for minimum host intervention and guaranteed data integrity on high volume systems
Supports Robbed Bit Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) and ISDN PRI
T1/E1 and fractional T1/E1, multiple channel HDLC per line for mixed data/TDM voice applications
Optimized per channel DMA streams and hardware-level HDLC handling unload the host CPU
Uses raw bitstream interfaces to support arbitrary non-standard line protocols, such as non-byte aligned monosynch or bisynch
Hardware Installation
Compatibility Note
Sangoma Telephony cards are designed to be compatible with most commercially available motherboards.
PCI-Express details
1 Lane PCI Express bus
Compatible with 4x, 8x and 16x slots
Telephony card installation is very simple:
Power off server and remove cover to access the PCIexpress slots
Identify the PCIexpress slot to be used for your telephony card
Remove the backplate for that slot, from the server.
This backplate may require screwdriver to remove screws before pulling off the backplate. Use your discretion
Insert the telephony card into the PCIexpress slot and verify it is firmly seated
With the faceplate lines up with the mounting bracket, screw it firmware in place.
verify the E1/T1 ports are lined up and fully accessible from the back of the server before securing position
Plug in your E1/T1 cables into the telephony card
if you are unsure of the pinouts, see below for details
Place server cover back on and power on
