Before You Begin

All computer boards are sensitive to 

electrostatic discharge (“ESD”).  Handle all static-sensitive 
boards and components at a static-safe work area, 
and observe anti-static precautions at all times. 
 
If you are not familiar with ESD safety precautions, visit 

 to learn more. 

 
Unpack the Dialogic

®

 DM3 Media Board (“board”) 

according to the following steps: 

1. 

Prepare a static-safeguarded work area. 

2. 

Carefully remove the board from the shipping 
carton and anti-static packaging.  Handle the 
board by the edges and avoid touching the 
board’s components. 

3. 

Lay the board on the static-dissipative work 
surface. 

 
NOTE: Place boards in static-shielding bags when 
carrying boards from station to station. 
 

CAUTION: Do not remove the board from the anti-static 
packaging until you are ready to install it.  Observe proper 
anti-static precautions at all times. 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

Configuring the Hardware

The DM3 device driver, part of the Dialogic

®

 System 

Software, assigns board instance numbers in ascending 
order (beginning with 0) as it detects each board in your 
system. A board instance number is the identification (ID) 
number used by the system software to recognize the 
board. 

NOTE:  If you add a board to the system, the existing 
board instance (ID) numbers may change, depending upon 
the PCI bus and slot number where the new board is 
installed. 

After the Dialogic hardware and the Dialogic System 
Software are installed, refer to the Dialogic

®

 Configuration 

Manager (DCM) utility to retrieve the board instance (ID) 
number(s) assigned to the board(s) in your system. 

 

 

 

 

 

See the DCM online help for more details about board 
identification. 

In a Linux system, you must set SW1 to a unique number 
for each DM3 board in your system so that the Power On 
Self Test (POST) for the board(s) can complete 
successfully. Use a non-magnetic screwdriver to turn SW1 
to 1 of 16 board settings, 0-9 or A-F. 

After the Dialogic  hardware and Dialogic  System 
Software are installed, refer to the proper configuration 
files to retrieve the board instance (ID) number(s) assigned 
to the board(s) in your system. See the Dialogic  Software 
Installation Guide for Linux for more information about 
Linux configuration files.

1.  With your computer on the static-safe work area, 

switch off the power and disconnect all power cords 
from the electrical outlets. 

3.  Select an empty PCI expansion bus slot and remove 

the slot’s retaining screw and access cover plate (if 
applicable). 

5.  Using the slot’s board guides, insert the board edge 

connector into the bus slot. Press firmly until the 
board is securely seated in the slot. 

4.  If you are not installing your board in an ISA form 

factor PCI slot, remove the ISA edge retainer from 
the board. 

2.  Remove the chassis cover plate. 

1.  RJ-48C jacks: Connectors (4) to external digital 

telephone network interface. 

2.  General Network Interface Alarm LED 

3.  Power LED 

4.  Reset LED 

5.  SW1: Rotary switch to set board identification 

(Linux systems only). 

6.  POST LEDs: Indicate Power On Self Test 

(POST) status during power up. 
Alarm LEDs: Indicate network alarms for each 
trunk. 

    Red: Alarm to indicate loss of signal. 
    Yellow: Alarm to indicate loss of frame 

synchronization at far end of external 
network. 

    Green: Indicates signal present; powered up 

and receiving signal from external sources. 

    Loopback: Indicates loopback mode is 

activated. 

7.  CT/MVIP Bus Termination Jumpers: Bus 

signal is terminated when the corresponding 
jumper clip is installed. Signal must be terminated 
only on boards at each end of the CT Bus cable. 

    JP2A: CT Bus termination jumper 
    JP2B: MVIP Bus termination jumper
