Installing RDSP/RTNI Boards
Installation Checklist
The RDSP/RTNI two-board combination puts all the Digital Signal Processors (DSPs, 
specialized CPUs) on one board and provides either an analog or digital telephony 
interface with the other.
You must jumper and install one RDSP/xx000 (that is RDSP/4000, RDSP/8000, RDSP/
12000, RDSP/16000, RDSP/24000) and one of the following boards:
 The Brooktrout RTNI-xATI board that provides an analog telephony interface 
 The Brooktrout RTNI-2T1 board...

Jumper Block and Connector Information
Closed means that two pins are covered/connected by the shorting jumper, and Open 
means that the two pins are not covered/connected by the shorting jumper. In the diagrams 
in this chapter, the blacked out pin positions represent closed positions.
T
IP:Installers often place shorting jumpers over only one pin when the posi-
tion is Open. This does not connect the pins, but it does prevent losing...

Understanding MVIP Streams
MVIP is a standard protocol for connecting PC resources. The MVIP bus provides both 
physical and logical half-duplex internal connections for up to 512 resources.
The MVIP bus is segmented into 8 bidirectional serial data streams, each composed of a 
pair of unidirectional streams. Each unidirectional stream can carry 2.048 megabits of data 
per second, partitioned by Time Division Multiplexing into 32 64-kilobits-per-second 
(Kb/sec.)...

Appendix D: Installing RDSP/RTNI Boards 245
The jumper block for the DSo MVIP stream is labeled W2. It is below the MVIP con-
nector and the W1 block if the bracket is to your right.
2. The settings should be as shown below:
3. Only the first pin position should be closed with a shorting jumper. 
C
AUTION:Do not add or remove shorting jumpers while power is applied 
to the board.
Configuring the MVIP Termination
Each RDSP/x000 can terminate the C2 MVIP and C4 MVIP bus signals. In a series of 
boards that...

2. For use with Amanda, close both signals’ pin positions using shorting jumpers (as 
shown below).
C
AUTION:Do not add or remove shorting jumpers while power is applied 
to the board.
Configuring the Base I/O Port
Each RDSP/x000 uses 47 I/O ports in addition to its base I/O port. Seven of these 
additional I/O ports are contiguous to the base I/O port. For example, if the RDSP/x000’s 
base I/O port is 300H, then the seven contiguous I/O ports are 301H, 302H,...

CAUTION:Do not add or remove shorting jumpers while power is applied 
to the board.
Configuring an RTNI-xATI Voice Board
An RTNI-xATI board’s main function is connecting any line resource with any other line 
or MVIP resource. This is commonly called switching. Your RTNI-xATI board provides 
Analog-to-MVIP switching. The line resource for your ATI board is analog, but only 
digital PCM signals can be switched, so the board must convert the incoming analog...

Closed means that two pins are covered/connected by the shorting jumper, and Open 
means that the two pins are not covered/connected by the shorting jumper. 
Configuring the MVIP Termination
The MVIP termination block consists of two pin positions, one for the C2 and one for the 
C4. The top pin position (labeled W1) corresponds to C4 and the next pin position (labeled 
W2) corresponds to C2. 
You should close both pin positions. The Amanda Company assumes that...

C
AUTION:Do not add or remove shorting jumpers while power is applied 
to the board.
Configuring the Base I/O Port
Each voice board must have a unique base I/O port. Each RTNI-xATI board is factory-
configured to use base I/O port 308H. It uses the base I/O port and three others, calculated 
as offsets of the base I/O port. These I/O ports are:
 Base I/O port

CAUTION:Do not add or remove shorting jumpers while power is applied 
to the board.
Configuring the Line Interface
The line interface configuration of your RTNI-xATI board determines which CO 
provisions it requires. You must match the line connection to your line interface module 
configuration as follows:
Interface Type: 2-Wire Loop Start
USOC Jack Connectory: RJ21X
REN/Service Code: X.XB
Facility Interface Code: 02LS2
The Loop Start module links your MVIP bus...
