A116 16 Port Voice/Data Board

    A116_001.jpg

    -> Data sheet

     

    • Sixteen T1/E1 ports with optimum PCI–Express interface for high performance voice and data applications
    • Mix T1 channel banks and E1 networks with full channel synchronization. TDM clocking mode lets network timing to be passed from a network-connected DS0 to any or all of the other ports so both T1 and E1 are supported simultaneously
    • Support for Asterisk® and FreeSwitch®
    • Fully compatible with all commercially available motherboards—proper PCI-standard interrupt sharing without manual tuning
    • Dimensions: Full height by half length (107mm x 176mm)
    • Connector: Dense 68 pin SCSI type interface 
    • Intelligent hardware: Downloadable FPGA programming with multiple operating modes; add new features related to voice and/or data when they become available
    • Line decoding: HDB3, AMI, B8ZS
    • Framing: CRC-4, Non CRC4, ESF, SF, D4, J1 (Japan)
    • PCI Express Bus Version: 1.1
    • Maximum operational power: 5.5 W (1.67 A @ 3.3 V)
    • Temperature range: 0 – 50 °C
    • Ring buffer DMA handling for minimum host intervention and guaranteed data integrity on high volume systems
    • Supports Robbed Bit Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) and ISDN PRI
    • T1/E1 and fractional T1/E1, multiple channel HDLC per line for mixed data/TDM voice applications
    • Optimized per channel DMA streams and hardware-level HDLC handling unload the host CPU
    • Uses raw bitstream interfaces to support arbitrary non-standard line protocols, such as non-byte aligned monosynch or bisynch


    Cable Information

    The A116 comes with 2 possible types of cabling as shown below

    1. SPEC-A116+PNLKIT 1U Rackmountable Breakout panel

    • Contains a cable  with a 68-pin connector at one end and 16 RJ45 female connectors on a rackmountable faceplate at the other end

    A116 SCSI to RJ-45 Pinout 

    The following pinout is from the card’s point of view.  

    Please note that this is Straight-Thru wiring to the patch panel. You will need to crosswire the TX and RX pins to connect to another device.
