Before You Begin

Protecting the Board from Damage

Caution! All computer boards are sensitive to

electrostatic discharge (“ESD”). Handle all static-sensitive

boards and components at a static-safe work area, and observe

anti-static precautions at all times.

If you are not familiar with ESD safety precautions, visit

http://www.dialogic.com/support/hwinstall to learn more.

Unpacking the Board

Unpack the Dialogic

DM3 Media Board (“board”) according

to the following steps:

1. Prepare a static-safeguarded work area.

2. Carefully remove the board from the shipping

carton and anti-static packaging. Handle the board

by the edges and avoid touching the board’s

components.

3. Lay the board on the static-dissipative work

surface.

Note: Place boards in static-shielding bags when carrying

boards from station to station.

CAUTION: Do not remove the board from the anti-static

packaging until you are ready to install it. Observe proper

anti-static precautions at all times.

Configuring the Hardware

Initial Hook State

The position of slide switch SW1 determines whether the

network interfaces will be initialized off-hook or on-hook.

See Physical Description graphic.

Board Identification

The DM3 device driver, part of the system software, assigns

board instance numbers in ascending order (beginning with 0)

as it detects each board in your system. A board instance

number is the identification (ID) number used by the system

software to recognize the board.

NOTE: If you add or remove a board, the system may

change the existing board instance (ID) numbers.

Windows System

Leave SW2 set to the factory default of Board ID 0 to let the

system automatically assign board instance numbers by PCI

bus slot number.

After the hardware and the system software are installed,

refer to the Dialogic

Configuration Manager (DCM) utility

to retrieve the assigned board instance (ID) number(s).

Linux System

In a Linux system, you must set SW2 to a unique number for

each installed DM3 board. Use a non-metallic screwdriver to

turn SW2 to 1 of 16 board settings, 0–9 or A–F.

After the hardware and the system software are installed,

refer to the proper configuration files to retrieve the assigned

board instance (ID) number(s).

For more information about Linux configuration files, refer to

the Installation and Configuration Guide for the system

release you are using.

Installing the Hardware

NOTE: If you are adding DM3 hardware to an existing DM3

system, you do not need to uninstall existing DM3 software.

1. Working with your computer at a static-safe work area,

switch off the power and disconnect all power cords

from the electrical outlets.

2. Remove the computer cover.

3. Select an empty PCI expansion bus slot and remove the

slot’s retaining screw and access cover plate.

4. If you are not installing your board in an ISA form

factor PCI slot, remove the ISA edge retainer bracket

from the board. Removing this bracket does not void

the product warranty.

5. Using the slot’s board guides, insert the edge connector

of the board into the bus slot. Press firmly until the

board is securely seated in the slot.

6. Replace and tighten the retaining screw to secure the

board firmly in the chassis slot.

identification (Linux systems only).

3. SW1—Slide switch used to initially set all

network interfaces on-hook or off-hook.

4. Status/Alarm LEDs—Indicate board status on

POST and communication status.

Red—Out of Service.

Yellow LEDs—After about 60 seconds, blink to

indicate that firmware is operational.

CT Bus signals are terminated when both jumper

clips are installed.

Connect pin 1 to pin 2

*Notes: Signal must be terminated only on boards

at each end of the CT Bus cable.

When pins 1 and 2 are used, use pins 3 and 4 as

well.
