3. Connect the SIB to a power outlet using the 3-prong power connector on the back of
the SIB.
4. Using RJ-11 phone cables, connect your analog phones to the BCP or breakout box.
Connecting the analog station board power supply
Perform these steps if you are using MSI/x or DISIx station boards.
These boards require a Intel Dialogic MSI-GBL Power Module, which supplies ring voltage and
loop current to the stations, as well as full availability of all trunks and stations on the BCP
connection panel. Also, if you configure failover support using the BCP connection panel, the
power module ensures that trunks T1-T4 and stations S1-S4 are available in the event of a power
failure. See Configuring the BCP connection panel for failover support on page 6-17 for more
information.
To connect the Intel Dialogic MSI-GBL Power Module
1. Connect the joined end of a y-cable to the power module.
2. Attach one branch to the DC power plug on the rear of the MSI/x or DISIx board.
3. Attach the other branch to the plug labeled
Power Supply on the BCP connection
panel.
Note:
For the BCP connection panel to get power, both the BCP connection panel and
the PC to which the MSI/x or DISIx board is attached must be powered on.
An older configuration requires that you use the MSI board power cable to connect the DC
power plug to the matching power plug labeled
MSI Board Power on the BCP connection panel.
A separate cord connects the DC power plug on the power supply to the matching power plug
labeled
Power Supply on the BCP connection panel.
When you have connected all of your analog station boards, go to the next section.
Connecting digital station boards and phones
Perform these steps if you are using Intel Dialogic DSIx digital station boards. (See page 6-17
if you are using Toshiba Strata CS-DKTU digital station boards.)
Important:
For the most up-to-date board specifications, refer to the Excel file
SupportedTelephonyBoards.xls, included on the root directory of the Intel Dialogic Drivers CD.
See Appendix E for the same information in table format.
TeleVantage supports the following two Intel Dialogic DSIx boards. The board that you choose
depends on the type of digital phone that you plan to use. (See Tested digital phones in
Chapter 5 in Installing TeleVantage for a complete list of supported digital phones.)
