Basic Card Configuration Sequence

Configuration API Messages

The following API messages are used for general DSP configuration.

• Generic Card Configure 0x0122

Use this message to configure the DSP Series 2 card for NFS, alarms, statistics, and card-level defaults.

• DSP SIMM Configure 0x00C0

Use this message to configure DSP chips for specific functions.

• IP Address Configure 0x00E7

Use this message to assign an IP Address to the DSP card for NFS functionality.

• Service State Configure 0x000A

Use this message to take DSP chips in and out of service.

Configuration is maintained through warm starts, resets, and faults.

Procedure

The following is a basic configuration sequence for the DSP Series 2 card.

1. Bring Card out of Service

Use the Service State Configure 0x000A message to bring the card out of service.

2. Configure DSP Function Types

Use the DSP SIMM Configure 0x00C0 message to assign function types on each SIMM. The default DSP configuration is shown in the message.

3. Download Additional Resource Points if required.

If your DSP resource requirements exceed the standard resources points that come with the card, you must download a license for more points.

See Downloading License Keys to the CSP

Also see DSP Resource Points in the DSP Series 2 Card Product Description chapter for more information.

4. Configure NFS Servers (up to 8)

Use the Generic Card Configure 0x0122 message with the Announcement Configuration TLV (0x05DC).

a. Server IP Address (for NFS)

The IP Address must be set on initial power up only.

b. Configure Vocabulary Index File and Announcements

5. Configure Conferencing

Use the Generic Card Configure 0x0122 message to set conferencing features and options on a per-card basis. All conferences established on the card will use these settings unless you override them on a per-conference basis with the Resource Create 0x0124 or Resource Modify 0x0125 message.

See Configuring Conferencing Features.

See Configuring Conferencing Options.

6. Customize Tones

Perform any tone customization required, such as for Call Progress Analysis.

See Digit Collection

7. Bring Card in Service

Use the Service State Configure 0x000A message to bring the card back in service.
