    The serial number of the Prosody PCI card is used when configuring the device driver to uniquely identify a Prosody PCI card in the system. The serial number of the card is located on the reverse of the card (no components) on the top edge and has the format P/N ACXXXX S/N XXXX WONXXX.

  • Page 5: Uses Of The Prosody Pci Card

    Uses of the Prosody PCI card The Prosody PCI card is a plug-in card suitable for use in many different types of PCI compatible computer, and provides a platform in which to carry out a range of speech processing functions.

    Telephone Network Attachment Each port on an Aculab E1/T1 cPCI card, fitted with revision 2 E1/T1 PM 4 line interface modules, attaches to either an E1 (2Mbit) or T1 (1.544Mbit) digital system. It is available with 4 or 8 primary rate ports and subject to each port configuration may make or receive between 92 and 240 separate calls at a time.

    CAUTION An Aculab screened RJ45 T piece must always be grounded through a screened patch cable connecting to the Aculab card; failure to do so could affect signal integrity on the trunk. Prosody PCI card - host interface A device driver program, running on the host computer, controls the behaviour of the Prosody PCI card.

    BE less than 7 inches. It is also recommended that the ribbon cable be no longer than required to interconnect the chain of H.100 CTBus devices. If the Prosody PCI card is the first or last device at either end of an H.100 CTBus, then the card MUST BE placed in terminated bus mode.

  • Page 9: Ctbus Loading

    H.100 CTBus. The loading limit of H.100 means that no more than six pre-revision 1.4 Prosody PCI cards can be used in the same host. The loading that each rev 1.4 card presents is only 1 allowing in theory a maximum of 20 cards in a system, however other software driver limitations restrict the loading to a maximum of 16 Prosody PCI cards in the same host.

    Prosody PCI card endplate LED usage The endplate of the Prosody PCI card displays a block of eight LED’s. The red LED’s correspond to the network ports. With the exception of ISUP firmware, the LEDs will be on until firmware has been successfully downloaded to the corresponding port. For ISUP, the LEDs will be on until an active E1 link has been connected to the port.
