Sangoma Card Configuration C2 (8 BRIs+4 FXSs)

Introduction

This configuration is typically used in order to connect your SOP with a Telecom operator via 4 basic access. The two analog interfaces are typically used in order to connect analog faxes or modems or any devices with embedded modems such as a postage machine.

This configuration has been validated on the following servers:
  • HP ML110G6
  • HP DL120G6
  • HP DL120G7
  • HP ML110G7

For this configuration you will need two B700, 4 BRI modules and 2 FXSs modules.

Requirements

  • First BRI port of each card need to be connected to an Operator BA (same clocking for each card)
  • All connected BRI port should be linked to the same Operator (same clocking)
  • BRI interfaces are only used to connect to an Operator, not an external PBX

This Standard Configuration guide is only applicable in those conditions and those are mandatory in case the card is used to connect faxes or modems. Other setups are project based.

Installation instructions

Step 0: Unconfigure the Sangoma Card Support 1 if any

If the module Sangoma Card Support v1 is already installed, execute the following in order to unconfigure it:
  • Remove all Woomera trunks
  • Remove the AnalogPhoneInterface
  • Remove the Card configured in the Zaptel module and reinstall this one
  • Do an apply change

Step 1: Install the Card in the server

Select a free PCI Express slot on your server and verify the required size of the front panel of the B700. If needed change the front panel.

Verify that both of your B700 FlexBri card has the two BRI modules and the FXS modules plugged in:
ALERT! By default, do not connect the FXS module, unless the customer wants to connect a modem

Ensure both termination resistors that correspond to the module are set to OFF in order to have the BRI interface in TE mode:

Plug in the 4 Pin Molex Power Cord in the B700 in order to be able to use the FXSs interfaces. Depending of the server you might need a Molex Power Cord Extension Cable.

Plug the card in one of the PCI Express slots available on your server.

Step 2: Install the Sangoma Card Support module 2.3.0 or higher

DONE Navigate to: SMP > Advanced > Modules Configuration

Install the module and reboot the SOP.

ALERT! For version of sangoma module lower than 2.2 (deprecated):

Add or Edit 'Sangoma Card Support' and set the following parameters
  • Card Configuration: C2

Step 3: Configure the BRI interface

DONE Navigate to:  SMP > Resources > Interfaces

Add a SangomaBRI interface with the following settings:
  • Incoming interfaces: All BRIs
  • Restriction Group: incoming

The other settings such as the type of number and the numbering plan are to be configured has required by your provider.

Step 4: Configure the Analog interface (if connected)

DONE Navigate to:  SMP > Resources > Phones

Add a SangomaAnalogInterface with the following settings:
  • Interface: Select the associated FXS interface

More information can be found here:

Step 5: Do an apply-change

DONE Navigate to:  SMP > Apply Changes > Apply Changes

Step 6: Restart the Sangoma Card

ALERT! In order for changes in the configuration of the Sangoma to be taken into account a restart of the Sangoma software is always necessary.

DONE Navigate to: SOP > Shell > Subsystems > Sangoma > Sangoma Card Restart

Step 7: Connect the BRI interfaces

ALERT! It is important to have the first BRI interface always connected.

The B700 exposes 2 BRI ports on which the Y-cable splitter provided with the Card are to be plugged in.

The first port is the port which is the closest on to the PCI Express slot. On each end of the splitter has either the label 'n' or 'n+1'. The 'n' indicates the first interfaces of the port.

Step 8: Connect the Analog interfaces

The port the furthest of the PCI Express port is the Analog port on which a dedicated Y-cable splitter is provided with the Sangoma Card. Like for the BRIs interfaces, each end of the Y-cable is labelled with 'n' or 'n+1' in order identify the first and the second port.
