6-2 INSTALLING INTEL TELEPHONY COMPONENTS
Introduction _____________________________________________
TeleVantage runs on Intel Dialogic boards that connect your trunk lines and phones to the
TeleVantage Server. The Intel boards must be installed in the TeleVantage Server PC.
This chapter describes how to do the following:
Install Intel Dialogic trunk boards and their associated hardware.
Install and configure the Toshiba Strata CS-DKTU station board.
Connect analog, digital, SIP, and H.323 phones.
If you experience problems with the Intel boards after following the instructions in this chapter,
see “Troubleshooting Intel Dialogic board problems” on page C-1.
Important:
If you are using Intel Host Media Processing (Intel HMP) software to provide
telephony resources for TeleVantage (instead of Intel Dialogic boards), follow the installation
instructions in Chapter 5, “Installing Intel Host Media Processing.”
Perform these steps
Use the following checklist as you install Intel Dialogic hardware.
Set the Intel Dialogic board IDs. Each Intel Dialogic board in your system must have a
unique board ID, which you set using a physical switch on the boards. Because the board
IDs are physical switches on the boards, it is easiest to set the IDs for all boards before
installing them in the PC.
Install the Intel Dialogic boards in the TeleVantage Server PC. This step includes the
following:
Inserting each board into the PC
Installing a Network Interface Card (NIC), if you are using an Internet telephony
board
Connecting all ISA boards with the SCbus ribbon cable, and all PCI boards with the
CTbus ribbon cable
Attaching the SCbus-to-CTbus adapter, if you are using a both ISA and PCI boards
Connect Intel Dialogic trunk boards to trunk lines. Depending on the type of trunk
boards you are using, this step may include installing additional required hardware. See
Chapter 4 in Installing TeleVantage for more information.
Connect analog station boards and phones. Only if you are using MSI/x, DISIx,
HDSI/x, or DI0408LSAR2 boards with TeleVantage.
Install and configure digital station boards and phones. Only if you are using DSIx
digital station boards to support digital phones with TeleVantage.
