Migration information

The CG 6060 board is based on the CG 6000/C, CG 6100C, and CG 6500C boards. Although the boards are very similar, be aware of the following hardware and software differences as you migrate from one of these boards to the CG 6060 board.

Each TSI stream is 8 MHz with 128 timeslots

Supports a 32-bit 33 MHz PCI bus

Supports 32-bit, 33 MHz or 66 MHz PCI bus

No board status LEDs

Board status LEDs were added. For more information, refer to Board status LEDs.

Software differences

The software differences between the CG 6000/C, CG 6100C, CG 6500C boards and the CG 6060 board include changes to the:

System configuration file

The CG 6060 board product name that appears in the system configuration file:

Product name

Description

CG_6060

A generic name that can be used to refer to any of the CG 6060 board variants.

CG_6060_4

One, two, or four-trunk CG 6060 boards.

The following example shows a CG 6060 board configured using no call control:

[CG 6060]
Product = CG_6060
Number = 0
Bus = 2
Slot = 9
File = c6060nocc.cfg

For more information, refer to Creating a system configuration file for oamsys.

Board keyword file

The CG 6060 board keyword file differs from the board keyword files of the CG 6000/C, CG 6100C, or CG 6500C boards in the following ways:

You must configure the trunks to perform signaling. Once you configure the trunks, use only channel associated signaling (CAS) to convey signaling information:

NetworkInterface.T1E1[x].SignalingType = CAS

The CG 6060 board does not require DSPs to do signaling. Do not set the following DSP values:

DSP.C5x[0].Files = qtsignal

DSP.C5x[0..1].Files = 8tsignal

DLMFiles[x] = cg6krun

DLMFiles[x] = cg6500run

Software

Setting

Generic ISDN

DLMFiles[x] = c6060igen

Fusion

DLMFiles[x] = cg6060fusion

ISDN Management

DLMFiles[x] = c6060imgt

DPNSS

DLMFiles[x] = c6060dpnss

NaturalFax

DLMFiles[x] = cg6060fax

When you use only one DLM file, x is always 0 (zero). If using more than one DLM file, number them sequentially starting with 0 (zero). They can appear in any order. For example:

DLMFiles[0] = cg6060fusion
DLMFiles[1] = c6060igen

Note: Do not use hardware echo cancellation in conjunction with software echo cancellation (that is, echo cancellation implemented through programs running on CG board DSPs).

For more information about hardware echo cancellation, refer to Configuring hardware echo cancellation.

The NaturalConferene API implements resource management differently than other Natural Access services. For more information, refer to the Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ NaturalConference™ API Developer’s Manual.

Booting sequence

The CG 6060 board booting sequence differs from the booting sequence of the CG 6000/C, CG 6100C, and CG 6500C boards in the following ways:

The following example shows oammon output:
