Adding a board

Step

Action

1

Power down the system if it is running.

2

Insert the TX 4000 board, seating it firmly in an available slot.

3

Power up the system.

If you are installing a TX 4000 board in a Windows system for the first time, the Windows® New Hardware Wizard appears and prompts you for the files required to activate the SS7 drivers. For more information, refer to Installing Dialogic® NaturalAccess™ Signaling Software.

If you are installing an additional TX 4000 board in a slot that has never held a TX 4000 board, the Windows® New Hardware Wizard appears, finds the required files, and exits.

4

At the prompt, invoke txcpcfg by entering the following command:

txcpcfg

txcpcfg displays the bus number, slot number, CP number, and CP model of boards that are present and configured. Only the bus number, slot number, and CP model type identify the board that you are currently adding. The CP number is undefined. For example:

Bus    Slot    CP Number    CP Model
2      2       1            TX 4000
2      4       2            TX 4000
2      6       UNDEFINED    TX 4000

5

Record the bus and slot values for the new undefined TX 4000 board.

6

Assign a unique CP number to each undefined board by entering the following command:

txcpcfg   bus   slot   unique_CP_number

where

• bus is the bus number of the TX 4000 board that you are configuring.

• slot is the slot number of the TX 4000 board that you are configuring.

• unique_CP_number is a number you assign. Valid CP numbers within the system start at 1 and must be unique. They do not have to be consecutive.

For example, enter the following command to assign a CP number of 3 for the board with a bus number of 2 and a slot number of 6:

txcpcfg  2  6  3

7

Verify the configuration of all of the TX boards by entering the following command:

txcpcfg

In this example, if you assign the new board a unique CP number of 3, the following configuration information displays:

Bus    Slot    CP Number    CP Model
2      2       1            TX 4000
2      4       2            TX 4000
2      6       3            TX xxxx

where xxxx is 4000 for a TX 4000/C, TX 4000/20, or TX 4000/20C board.

8

Save the configuration changes.

In a Windows system, configuration changes are saved automatically. In a UNIX system, configuration changes are deleted when you restart the system. Save the changes by editing the cpcfg file as described in Saving configuration changes.
