Main Board - ESI IP 200 Installation Manual

Hardware overview/installation IP Series Installation Manual
IP 40
The IP 40 is a smaller version of the IP 200.
It measures 11" W x 3 ½" H x 9" D. The
optional external "ears" will allow it to be
mounted in a 19" data rack; alternatively, it
can be set on a tabletop, or a separately
orderable kit will allow wall-mounting.
The IP module (the mainboard and the
Local Network Card) is on the right-hand of the IP 40. The IP 40 provides two slots for port cards. On
the left-hand side, the Memory Module is mounted in the floor of the IP 40. The first port card is
installed horizontally, just above the Memory Module, and the second port card can be installed
above the first.
Port card #1 is attached directly to J7 on the LNC via a 60-pin ribbon cable. Port card #2 is attached
to J8. As with the IP 200, the mainboard's J9 connects to the LNC's J1, and the Memory Module's
IDE cable connects to JP9 on the LNC and JP2 on the mainboard. The Memory Module is powered by
a 4-wire power cable connected to the mainboard's J8. The optional Remote Network Card (RNC)
is inserted into the 72-pin socket U13 on the LNC, located directly behind the RJ-11 overhead-
paging port.
The front of the IP 40 features an AC power connector, two serial ports, an MOH connector, one
RJ-45 10/100Base-T Ethernet connector, and an RJ-11 overhead paging port.

Main board

®
The main board combines leading-edge hardware components — including a Motorola
®
ColdFire processor and DSP structure — along with proprietary operating system software. The
board provides:
• System control of the Memory Module and port cards
• Two standard RS-232C DB9 serial ports
• A built-in 33.6 Kbps modem for remote access
• An external paging-device interface
• MOH interface
Local Network Card (LNC)
The Local Network Card (LNC) provides the 10/100Base-T RJ-45 interface that allows the IP system
to connect to the Ethernet network. The LNC features highly configurable DSP (digital signal proces-
sor) technology that manages the flow of traffic among the port cards and converts IP packets into
PCM traffic for transmission over the PSTN. This card also provides through the RJ-11 jack a dry-
contact interface, used by popular overhead paging systems.
Memory Module
The Memory Module — a hard disk drive with proprietary formatting — contains all system program
and configuration data, along with pre-loaded voice prompts. The Memory Module provides 140
hours of voice storage at the industry's highest-quality sampling rate: 64 kilobits/second.
