The Voice Processing System (VPS) comprises a CO card, 
a DSP card, the CPU card, a hard disk drive and propri- 
etary system software. The VPS can be expanded to be able 
to handle up to eight simultaneous calls and store up to 
10.5 hours of voice data by installing expansion units such 
as additional CO cards, DSP cards, and a hard disk drive.

To protect the printed circuit board from static electricity, 
first discharge any body static by touching the metal

Manager’s Guide Configuration & Installation M-2-5  The telephone line interface (CO card) transmits and 
receives analogue signals to and from the telephone line. 
The analog input signal is digitized at a sampling rate of 8 
kHz to create an 8-bit digital signal. 
The CODEC facility is on the DSP card and consists of 
two digital signal processors (DSP) and voice buffer. When 
a user calls the VPS, one of the DSPs compresses the digi- 
tal signal sent from the CO card. The compressed signal is 
stored in a voice buffer, then written to the hard disk. 
When a message stored on the hard disk is played back, 
the DSP first decompresses the stored data and the result- 
ing signal is then sent to the CO card. 
The hard disk drive is connected to the central micropro- 
cessor via a SCSI interface. The hard disk stores the pro- 
prietary system program, the system administration table 
and the voice prompts (about 40 minutes’ worth). In addi- 
tion, it has the capacity to record approximately 4.6 hours 
of recorded messages from callers. 
The CPU Card comprises the central microprocessor, 
ROM, dynamic RAM, the clock generator for the time- 
sharing switch, a Rotary switch, an RS-232C interface and 
a SCSI host adaptor. 
The central microprocessor communicates with and con- 
trols the sub-microprocessors on the CO card and DSP 
cards via FIFO memory. 
The system ROM stores ROM-based system programs, 
self-diagnostic software, test programs and backup pro- 
grams. 
Application programs and the system administration table 
from the hard disk are read into dynamic RAMS for use by 
the system. 
The rotary switch on the CPU card is used, for example, 
when performing initial parameter settings. There are 
10

switch positions, and it is normally left in the 0 setting. 
When set to position 1, the RS-232C parameters are initial- 
ized when the system is booted up (see Note 1). This set- 
ting should be used if there is some uncertainty about the 
parameters to be used when making connections. When the 
switch is set to position 5, the system parameters are ini- 
tialized and set automatically to the factory default values 
(see 3.48) when the system is booted up. When position 9 
is selected, the watchdog timer is disabled. This is a special 
mode which is used, for example, to conserve system 
resources. The other positions (2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8) are not 
defined. 
The RS-232C parameters (default values) are as follows: 
Speed: 9,600 bps, Number of data bits: 8, Number of stop 
bits: 1, Parity: None. 
. 
If you need to set the switch to a position other than 0, 
reboot the computer after changing the switch position for 
the new setting to take effect. Then, after the task for 
which the special rotary switch setting was required has 
been accomplished, reset the switch to 0 and again reboot 
the system. 
The RS-232C interface can be used to connect a terminal 
or printer to the system. It can then be used to establish 
system settings, administer the system and check usage sta- 
tus. 
The clock generator supplies the clock signal to the time- 
sharing switch, which connects the CO card with 
DSP 
cards. The time-sharing circuit performs parallel-serial 
data conversion. 
2.1.5 System Expansion 
The basic VPS configuration utilizes two phone lines and 
is capable of handling two calls at a time. It can store up 
to 4.6 hours of voice data. This basic configuration can be 
expanded to handle up to a maximum of eight simulta- 
neous calls with 10.5 hours of voice data storage. In order 
to add more telephone lines, additional CO cards can be 
installed. This will make it possible to provide more incom- 
ing call services, such as the Voice Mail service, Automated 
Attendant service and the Bulletin Board service. To 
enable the system to handle more calls simultaneously, 
more DSP cards should be added.

By installing up to four CO cards in free slots, the number 
of lines the VPS can handle may be increased to eight. One 
of the four incoming call services (Voice Mail, Automated 
Attendant, Bulletin Board or Interview Service) can be 
assigned to each line. In addition, each line can be assigned 
three outgoing call services, such as Message Waiting Noti- 
fication, Urgent Message Notification and External Deliv- 
ery. 
With four additional DSP cards installed, the VPS is able 
to handle eight calls simultaneously. Each DSP card 
houses two DSPs, each of which is connected to a separate 
telephone line. Each DSP encodes and decodes incoming 
and outgoing voice signals, respectively, and can handle a 
single incoming call service or a single outgoing call service. 
at a time. 
By installing an optional hard disk drive (Panasonic, 
KX-TVP151) in addition to the system drive, the system’s 
capacity for recording voice messages from callers can be 
increased up to a maximum of 10.5 hours. The second 
optional hard disk drive is used exclusively for storing 
recorded messages from callers. For the installation proce- 
dure of the hard disk drive expansion, please refer to the 
installation manual of KX-TVP15 1. 
After installing an optional modem card to the VPS the 
diagnostic and remote programming services can be per- 
formed. 
By connecting the VPS to an optional Battery Adaptor , 
which can be connected to two automobil type batteries 
(12 VDC x 2), the VPS cannot be interrupted by an AC 
power failure.
