CHAPTER 5
Preparing the Hardware
In almost all cases, the messaging system is deliv ered with all necessary v oice and fax
boards installed. Consequently, you may not need to complete certain hardware
configuration and installation steps detailed in this chapter. You should, howev er,
connect the phone and fax lines to the messaging system and install certain additional
hardware components, such as the uninterruptible power supply (UPS). If you...

 Assembling Materials
  Before you begin hardware installation, assemble the materials you are required to use.
The materials are listed on the Installation Checklist prov ided with the messaging
system.
  Some of the equipment listed, such as a tape backup dev ice, is optional and therefore
not required for the messaging system.

 Configuring the Voice Boards
  Voice boards prov ide the interface between the messaging system and the phone
system that allows them to communicate. You must configure the jumpers and switch
settings on the Dialogic v oice boards before you install them. Note that after you install
the messaging system, you must also configure the software to recognize the v oice
boards.
  Voice boards contain ports, which are...

The following diagram illustrates the DIALOG/4 board.
The following diagram illustrates the D/4xD board. The location of the relev ant jumpers
and switches on the D/42D-SX and D/42D-SL boards are approximately the same as on
the D/4xD board.
The following diagram illustrates the D/42D-NS board.
Complete the following steps, as required, to configure each Dialogic board:

Setting the board’s base shared memory address – The base shared memory
address allows the v oice board to communicate with the v oice driv er and, in turn, the
messaging system. SW 1 determines the Dialogic board’s base shared memory address.
If you are only installing one Dialogic board, leav e SW 1 at the default setting unless it
conflicts with another component. If you are installing multiple boards or if...

  Do not change the settings of either of these jumpers unless a technical support
representativ e directs you to set the v oice board to an address using an alternate
segment.
  Setting the board’s hardware interrupt – The JP1 jumper block sets the Dialogic
board hardware interrupt lev el, also called the IRQ. Interrupt settings for these boards
range from 2 through 7. Install the jumper that corresponds to the...

 Configuring the Brooktrout TruFax Board
The TruFax is a 2-port fax board supported for use with the messaging system. In the
board drawing, the black square in the switch settings indicates the jumper position.
  Use caution when handling fax boards as they are electrostatic-sensitiv e. Make sure you
ground the PC, the work area, and the ground end of the antistatic wrist strap prior to
handling a board, and always...

Implementation and Service ManualIns talling the Voic e and Fax Boards5-8
The system searches addresses 140 through 280 to determine if fax boards are present.
Because the system considers any board found in this range of addresses a fax board,
do not set other boards, such as a network interface card (NIC), to addresses within this
range.
Record the port address for each TruFax board you configure; you will need to refer to it
when you run the Configure utility.
