Description

 CARD_TYPE

 AFT

 

Define AFT card type

AUTO_PCISLOT

YES
NO

 

Enable/Disable AUTO PCI detection. This parameter can be set to YES only if you have only one card of the same type.  If this option is enabled, PCISLOT/PCIBUS options are ignored (NOTE: A101/A102/A104/A108 T1/E1 is treated as the same card).

Front End Port/Line number.
(For A108, FE_LINE=1..8; for A104, FE_LINE=1..4)

TE_CLOCK

MASTER
NORMAL

 

T1/E1 clock source.
Normal - slave clock, clock is received from telco (default). Master- master clock, use HW oscillator clock.

TE_REF_CLOCK

Number

 

T1/E1 Reference clock source.
This options allows one to use the incoming clock from a different port as a clock source to this port. This option works only if TE_CLOCK is MASTER. If TE_REF_CLOCK is set to 0, the feature is disable.

TE_HIGHIMPEDANCE

YES
NO

 

Enable/Disable RX High Impedance mode.

Define the Line Build Out

(LBO compensates for the loss in decibels based on the distance from the device to the first repeater in the circuit. A longer distance from the device to the repeater requires that the signal strength on the circuit be boosted to compensate for loss over that distance.)

FE_TXTRISTATE

YES
NO

 

Enable/Disable T1/E1 Tx Tri-State mode.

MTU

 

 

 

TDMV_SPAN

Number

 

Define span number for this device

TDMV_DCHAN

Number

 

Set to 0 if HW DCHAN is disabled. To enable HW DCHAN support, set it to dchan number

TDMV_HW_DTMF

YES
NO

 

Enable/Disable Hardware DTMF detection (Echo Cancellation module is required)

TDMV_HW_FAX_DETECT

YES
NO

 

 Enable/Disable Hardware Fax detection (Echo Cancellation module is required)

 TE_IGNORE_YEL

YES
NO

 

 Ignore incoming Yellow alarms and do not stop transmitting.  Needed for ATM systems where Yellows don't clear till cells are aligned

HWEC_CLKSRC

YES

 

Changes the port that will be used to recover a clock for the HWEC.  By default the first port started is used.
Placed in the wanpipeX.conf file that you wish to be the clock source.
