VoiceTrak Avm Installation And Manitenance Manual

 
the connection, DO NOT TURN THE POWER ON.  If necessary, remove the card 
and re-seat it before continuing.  
5.  Replace the cover, the screws and all cords. 
Note:  When additional boards are added you MUST set the jumpers on the new 
board and add the address to the configure file. 
Software Installation 
NOTE:  If your Voice Connection system was purchased with all hardware installed 
then the software has been pre-loaded on the hard drive and this section may be 
skipped.  If you have any...

 
Memory Management 
If you have purchased a turnkey system the memory management software has been 
installed and configured for your system.  You do not need to make ANY changes in 
this configuration.  
If you are purchasing a kit, you must have a 486 or better computer (IBM-
compatible), a minimum of four (4) megabytes of RAM plus one (1) additional 
megabyte for each additional port (i.e., an eight port system would need a minimum 
of eight megabytes), and a hard drive with a minimum of 250...

Configuring the Voice Board 
Software 
The Rhetorex voice board supplied with Voice Connection accesses a configuration 
file that defines the port addresses and initialization parameters for all of the boards 
in the system.  This file is automatically installed during the software installation,  
contains default settings and has been programmed for one voice board.  The default 
settings will work with the great majority of telephone systems.  However, some fine 
tuning may be necessary.  This...

 
SYMBOLS  Displays system resource allocation parameters and channel 
initialization. 
MEMORY  Displays memory allocation assignments. 
FILE  Displays PCPM tone and filter table assignments. 
PORTS  Displays the Rhetorex board port assignments. 
Functions 
A summary of the Main Menu functions is presented below.  The sections that 
follow present each function in detail. 
SYMBOLS  This function allows you to alter system resource assignments and 
channel initialization parameters.  F5 selects the...

 
Memory 
 
The Rhetorex device driver requires a block of memory in which to build a disk 
buffer pool.  The memory is normally assigned when the driver is loaded.  This 
function allows you to edit the disk buffer memory pool assignment. 
The disk buffer pool should be allocated from EMS memory.  The amount of 
memory assigned to the buffer pool depends on the number of channels configured 
in the system, the speed of the disk subsystem (including caching), the clock rate of 
the CPU and the disk...

 
Assigning a tone and filter table file name creates entries in the CONFIG file for the 
symbols TONETABLE=  and FILTERTABLE=. 
Symbols 
The SYMBOLS function allows you to assign system resource allocation parameters 
and channel initialization defaults. 
Resource Allocation 
The Rhetorex device driver (RHETDRV.EXE) requires five resources from the host 
system: 
1.  Hardware interrupt level.  This is assigned by the application during system 
initialization. 
2.  Disk buffer pool.  This is allocated...

 
Automatic Gain Control 
By default, Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is applied to the incoming audio signal.  
If you do not want the incoming signal amplified by the Rhetorex device driver, 
position the cursor on the display line that reads. 
 The default AGC state is ENABLED 
Press the spacebar to toggle the state to DISABLED.  This sets the symbol AGC= to 
DISABLED. 
Bus Mode 
By default the Rhetorex hardware operates in 8-bit AT bus mode.  For compatibility 
with devices that operate in 16-bit bus...

 
louder or quieter than the original signal.  The playback level is encoded by a 
number between -8 and 8 where 0 is the normal level, -8 is the quietest level and 8 is 
the loudest level.  The default is 0. 
To change the default playback gain, position the cursor on the display line that 
reads: 
 The default playback gain setting is 0 
Enter a playback level between -8 and 8.  This sets the symbol GAIN= to that 
playback level. 
Default Outdial Mode 
The Rhetorex device driver call progress...

 
Default Dropouts 
DROPOUTS provides a maximum threshold for lost cadences.  During call 
monitoring, voice appears as a number of short cadence dropouts (silence intervals) 
on the energy detectors.  If more than DROPOUTS number of lost cadence interval 
are detected, the call is presumed answered.  The default value for DROPOUTS  is 
six (6). 
To change the default DROPOUTS, position the cursor on the display line that reads: 
 The default DROPOUTS is 6 
Enter a limit value between 1 and 255.  This...
