CHAPTER 1 WHAT IS IN THE BOX Two Cyclades-PC400 models are available: one with DSPs (for analog modem connections) and one without them (for digital connections). One cable per channel is provided for connection of the board to a T1/E1 line. A diskette containing the PC400 driver is also included, and its use is described in chapter 3.

CHAPTER 2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION The body carries static electricity and if the person installing the PC400 is not correctly grounded, the board could suffer irreversible damage. Please follow the instructions outlined below carefully to avoid harming the board. Step One: Unplug the computer and remove all cables connecting the computer to other devices. Step Two: Carry the computer to a workbench or table where an anti-static wrist-strap is available. It is highly recommended that a wrist-str

Step Three: Be careful to not touch any components inside the computer’s chassis, as they also can be damaged by static electricity. Confirm that the wrist-strap is grounded. If a wrist-strap is not available, touch a non-painted, metallic part of a computer plugged in to a wall outlet to remove any excess charge. Remove the board from its anti-static packaging, being careful to not touch the components or metal parts of the board. . Chapter 2 Hardware Installation 7

Step Four: Insert the board carefully into any unused PCI slot so that the external connector is aligned with the opening in the back of the computer. Make sure that the board does not touch any metallic parts of the interior of the computer. The second bracket of models with two ports should be installed similarly. Step Five: Fasten the bracket to the back panel of the computer with a screw. Replace the computer’s cover and replace the screws. Now you can remove the wrist-strap. Chapter 2 H

CHAPTER 3 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION The PC400 driver diskette contains the files needed to run the Cyclades-PC400 in a Linux environment. This driver should run without problems with all processors supported by Linux. However, Ix86-compatible architectures are the only platforms officially supported by Cyclades. This Installation manual assumes a minimum knowledge of the Linux operating system. Please read the file /usr/src/linux/README before continuing, in order to understand the basics of ker

NOTE: at this point you should read the file README included in the directory pc400- to learn about any changes implemented since this manual was produced. sh install (to run the install script) This script will detect the system information (kernel version, current Cyclades-PC400 driver version, etc.) and install the proper driver package files. A default configuration file will be placed in /etc/cyclades/pc400/ pc400.cfg and is used when /usr/local/sbin/pc400util -p is executed.The

CHAPTER 4 BOARD AND SYSTEM CONFIGURATION This chapter describes the configuration of the Cyclades-PC400. After the general instructions, guided ex- amples are provided to assist in parameter selection. Read the example closest to your application if in doubt as to the best value for a parameter. STEP ONE If the PC400 driver was compiled as a module and it is desired that the driver be autoloaded when a PC400 device is accessed, add the lines below to /etc/conf.modules (or /etc/modules.conf, d

• Interface parameters set T1/E1-line specific parameters such as clock mode and signalling type. • Channel parameters define groups of channels (time slots) within a T1/E1 line. • Logical link parameters set link information such as telephone number and connection type. All parameters are presented below with a brief description of each. The basic structure of the file is as follows: general parameters cnx_profile_begin Parameters that define this customized ISDN-PRI profile cnx_profile_end ..

Parameters that define customized ISDN-PRI profiles. Label Description cnx_profile_begin Up to 5 different ranges for cnx_profile can be configured. phone The first phone number of the range with this profile. It should not exceed 30 characters and "none" specifies the null string. size_range The number of phone numbers in the range with this profile. Values range from 1 to 255.

Label Description onhook_timer Valid only for CAS in Brazil. Valid values are 20-255, in units of a fraction of a second. When the PC400 answers an incoming call it waits for the period defined by answer2_timer, then it hangs up. Next, it waits the period defined by onhook_timer and reconnects. The line remains active if the call was not a collect call. This is necessary because in Brazil a collect call is accepted by simply remaining on the line. answer2_timer Valid only for CAS in Brazil.

Parameters that define and apply to channels (time slots). These go inside interface markers. channel_group_begin Marks the beginning of a group of channels. All parameters following this label apply only to this channel group until channel_group_end is reached. channels The number of channels in this channel group is defined. The value can be first- last or channel_number|channel_number|channel_number etc. channel_group_end Marks the end of a group of channels. See comments for channel_grou
