HP MSR2000/3000/4000 Router Series Interface Module Guide

134
The VCPM module installed on the MSCR/MSCB of an MSR50 series router is different from that
installed on the FIC-VE1/FIC-VT1 module. Therefore, they cannot be used interchangeably.
The FIC-VE1/FIC-VT1 is used with a VPM module installed. The specifications and number of VPM
modules needed depend on the number of calls.
The VPM modules installed on the MSCA of the MSR50 series routers are the same as that installed
on the FIC-VE1/FIC-VT1 modules.
If you install more than two FIC-VE1/FIC-VT1 modules on an MSR50 series router, you need to add
another VCPM module on the MSCA/MSCA.
VCPM
Introduction
Voice co-processing module (VCPM) provides transmission channel between DSP strip and system
memory for voice data, thus implementing TDM HW exchange for each PCM data voice channel.
VCPM module is required for voice communications of routers.
Interface attributes
Table 194 Interface attributes of the VCPM module
Attribute Description
Connector Double-edge connector
Interface type PCI 2.2, EHPI
Data transmission
rate
Operating rate for PCI bus: 33 MHz/66 MHz
Maximum bandwidth: 264 Mbps
BURST transmission: Up to 1 KB of data can be transmitted once and the maximum
number of bytes transmitted can be configured.
Interface LEDs
There is no LED on the VCPM module and display of the status of the module is implemented through the
VCPM interface LED on the main board of the router.
The following table describes the LEDs on the main board:

Green: VCPM module is in the slot and is operating normally. Yellow: VCPM module is in
the slot but cannot be accessed by the router.
Note:
X means the slot number VCPM module LED is on.
Installing/removing a VCPM module
VCPM module should be installed in the VCPM slot on the main board of an MSR20-40 or MSR30 router,
or in the VCPM slot on the MSC module of an MSR50 router. The board that provides VCPM slots is
referred to hereafter as mother board. Suppose the mother board is uninstalled and put on the
workbench.
