Page 13: Introduction
Introduction 1.0 Introduction The Infinity Series H.100 E&M Board is designed to provide eight E&M interfaces connected to the H.100 bus. Each interface or port provides both audio transmission and control support for basic line functions such as hook status indication and detection for Type I and Type V interfaces. The board is equipped with DSP resources to provide tone generation. -
Page 14: Dsp Functions
Introduction audio may be transmitted using either a 2-wire or a 4-wire interface. The 4- wire interface separates the transmit and receive pairs. The signaling and audio interface type are software selectable on a port by port basis without using jumpers. The on board firmware provides support for the common address signaling protocols such as immediate start, wink start, and delay-dial for both incoming and outgoing calls. -
Page 15: Clock Modes
Introduction PCM is a standard method of digitizing phone signals. It involves encoding each channel at an 8 kHz rate using eight bits. The signals from multiple channels are then combined into a frame. On the H.100 bus, each frame consists of 128 channels or timeslots. -

Communicating with the PC through to the PC. When the PC receives an interrupt, its Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) should check the Infinity board's receive flag to see if a message is pending (i.e. the receive flag is non-zero). It should then process the message for the board and write a 0 to the board's receive flag. -

Page 43: The H.100 Bus & Clock Modes
The H.100 Bus & Clock Modes 6.0 The H.100 Bus & Clock Modes The Infinity Series H.100 E&M Board provides a means of connecting analog E&M ports to the digital H.100 computer telephony bus. Through this bus, the E&M ports can be connected to other H.100 compatible boards. To accomplish this, the board has complete access to all streams and timeslots on the bus. -
Page 44: Clock Modes
The H.100 Bus & Clock Modes Clock Modes The H.100 bus specification defines a variety of clock signals. Two clock signals CT bus A and CT bus B are provided for redundancy. In addition, a signal called CT_NETREF is defined which may be referenced to an external clock source such as a T1 or E1 span. -

The H.100 Bus & Clock Modes 2 - reserved 3 - reserved 4 - reserved 5 - reserved 6 - CT bus clock A, auto-fallback mode 7 - CT bus clock B, auto-fallback mode Argument a is used to set the CT_NETREF mode, while argument bb is used to select the source of CT_NETREF. -
Page 46: Secondary Master Modes
The H.100 Bus & Clock Modes Submode 0 should only be chosen if there are no other boards in the system that can derive clocks from an external digital network. For all modes, argument a should be set to 0. This value was used on earlier versions of the board for setting clock signals for legacy buses and has been retained for software compatibility. -

Page 49: Using The E&M Board
Using the E&M Board 7.0 Using the E&M Board This section describes the process used for controlling the ports on the Infinity Series H.100 E&M Board. The steps necessary for configuring a board will be described. Basic functions such as making a connection, playing call progress and DTMF tones, and detecting DTMF tones and energy will be described, as will echo suppression and the push to talk feature used for interfacing to two-way radio systems. - Page 50 Using the E&M Board timeslot on that stream. In MVIP compatibility messages, a terminus is represented by a five character string. The first character indicates the bus.

Using the E&M Board indicated by a message of the form SEXhh where hh is the generator number. To access the DSP resources, an MO Set Output command must be issued to connect the resource to the desired port or H.100 timeslot as well as issuing the resource control command. - Page 52 Using the E&M Board Several other steps may be necessary to configure individual ports. The ST command is used to configure the audio interface for each port as well as signaling behavior. It consists of characters, one for each port, representing the port type.

Page 53: Using The 'C' Commands
Using the E&M Board SSSTSTVVNN would set ports 0 and 2 to Type I-signaling, ports 1 and 3 to Type I-trunk, ports 4 and 5 to Type V and port 6 and 7 to none or unused. This command will not take effect until after an RA or RP command or the next command that changes the state of the M-lead. -
Page 54: Hook Status
Using the E&M Board audited. As an example, CA000201 would direct timeslot 1 of stream 2 to port 00. The Transmit command CX is used to setup a port to transmit towards the H.100 bus. This command takes the form CXxxsstt where xx is the port number, ss is the stream and tt is the destination timeslot. -
Page 55: Call Progress Tones
Using the E&M Board 7.4.3 Call Progress Tones The on-board DSP can be used to play any of the standard Call Progress tones to a port. The tones supported are dial tone, busy tone, reorder tone, and audible ringback. Silence and a calibration tone of 1004 Hz can also be played. -
Page 56: Detecting Energy
Using the E&M Board detection that is in progress. As an example, the message CL00 will enable DTMF detection on port 00 and play dial tone. As each tone is detected, the board will send a Tone detected state change message of the form STxxd where xx is the port number and d is the tone. -
Page 57: Address Signaling Protocols
Using the E&M Board detected the hook flash. The application can then take appropriate action. It should be noted that when a hook flash is detected, the board takes no other action other than sending the message. The timing of the flash or pause signal may vary with switch type and country. -
Page 58: Mf-R1 Signaling
7-10 Using the E&M Board variation called “delay dial” starts the wink and ends it when the digit detector is ready to accept digits. To set the protocol for a port, a command of the form SPxxidno is used where xx is the port number, i indicates the protocol for incoming calls, d indicates whether the digits are sent by DTMF or pulses, n is the number of digits, and o indicates the protocol if any for outgoing calls. -
Page 59: Direct Control Of The M-Lead
Using the E&M Board 7-11 The MF-R1 format defines several tone pairs in addition to the digits 0-9 that are used to indicate the beginning and end of the address digit string. These tone pairs are called KP, ST, and STP which are represented by ‘K’, ‘S’, and ‘P’... -
Page 60: Push To Talk Feature
7-12 Using the E&M Board 7.4.11 Push To Talk Feature To facilitate interfacing to radio transceivers, the H.100 E&M Board includes a Push To Talk feature which may be used to key the transceiver when voice energy is detected on the outgoing timeslot of a port. When enabled, the M-lead will be asserted only when this voice energy is detected. -
Page 61: Echo Suppression
Using the E&M Board 7-13 When a CGxxX command is issued, the superimposed tone is removed but the connection remains. Therefore it is only necessary to issue a single CC or CM command at the beginning of the call. Following is an example using the CC command for channel 4, 1750 Hz. The transmitter is keyed twice before the call is disconnected. -
Page 62: Automatic Gain Control
7-14 Using the E&M Board the form SYD. This command controls all of the detectors on the board. The detection on a port is enabled using the standard DTMF detection commands CL or MD. If a 2100 Hz tone is detected it is reported with the DTMF tone detection message ST with a tone of A. -

- Page 73 Appendices Appendix C E&M Interfaces E&M interfaces have a long history of usage in connecting various pieces of analog equipment together or to the public switched telephone network. The important features of the E&M interface is that it separates the audio transmission path from the signaling leads, and that positive supervision is provided by the signaling leads in both directions, that is that either side of the connection can indicate an on-hook and an off-hook state.
- Page 74 Appendices and IV use additional leads, referred to as the SB and SG leads, which essentially serve as ground references. The H.100 E&M Board can support the Type I and Type V interfaces. Type I has both a Trunk and a Signaling side which are different. The Type V interface is symmetrical, that is both sides are identical.

In both cases, the audio pair is “dry”, i.e. no talk battery is present. On the H.100 E&M Board, the interface is configured using the SS and ST commands.
