.................................................................................. System Description

The active circuitry of the Coral system is contained on removable printed circuit

cards, nearly all of which may be used in any Coral system.

The active circuitry of the Coral system is divided into three major categories:

Peripheral circuitry - described in the Service and Peripheral Cards

Installation Manual. See Related Documentation, page 1-4.

Shared service and auxiliary circuitry - described in the Service and

Peripheral Cards Installation Manual. See Related Documentation, page 1-4.

Common control circuitry - described in this manual. The common control

circuitry provides the control mechanism for establishing audio and data

connections or calls between peripheral I/O ports in the system via the PCM

bus. Common control circuitry cards include the following:

Main control processor cards (MCP-IPx21, MEX-IP22, MCP-IPx, and

MEX-IP)

Expansion memory cards (DBM3 or DBX)

Flash memory cards (IMC4, IMC8, and IMC16)

.................................................................................. Card Description

The following common control cards are included in the Coral IPx 500, 800, 3000,

CDRS 200, 200E and FlexiCom 200, 300, 400, and 5000 systems:

Main control processor cards, including the MCP-IPx2, MEX-IP-2, MCP-IPx,

and MEX-IP, are the “core” of common control in these systems. The main

control processor cards include memory management circuitry, local bus

interface and database memory (protected against power loss by a long-life

lithium standby battery), and provide a real-time clock and host the Software

Authorization Unit (SAU). The main processor receives status messages from

ports in the system and determines the appropriate response based on

programming entries contained in the system database. See Chapter 2, Main

Control Processor Cards.

The memory expansion cards (DBM and DBX) are optional cards that expand

the database memory space, which stores the system's configuration. It is likely

to be required for special applications. See Chapter 3, Expansion Memory

Cards.

The flash memory cards (IMC4, IMC8, and IMC16) provide memory space for

the generic feature system software. The generic feature software determines

the operation of telephony functions of the system. These cards use flash

memory technology to provide high-reliability, non-volatile storage for the

generic software and system database, combined with the capability of field

software upgrade. See Chapter 4, Flash Memory Cards

IMC4(FMsl), IMC8, IMC16.

The Software Authorization Unit (SAU) is used to define which applications

are authorized to be used by the customer. The SAU is identical for all cards.

See Chapter 5, Software Authorization Unit (SAU).

The optional CoraLINK card (CLA) is used for Composit and FlexCT CTI

(Computer Telephone Interface) applications interface. The CLA card includes

the application processor and Ethernet 10Base-T interface circuitry for the

CoraLINK computer-telephony integration (CTI) link. CoraLINK uses TCP/IP

protocol and complies with ECMA 179, ECMA 180, and ECMA 269 phase 3

standards. CoraLINK also supports the Novell TSAPI protocol, the Intel

Dialogic CT-connect, and IBM Callpath. The 10Base-T Ethernet interface

appears at a RJ-45 connector on the front panel of the CLA card. See

Chapter 6, Application Cards.

The optional Management Applications Platform (MAP) is a daughterboard on

the Coral Main Control Processor cards (MEX-IP2, MCP-IPx2, MEX-IP and

MCP-IPx) enabling the Coral system to run one or more external applications

on the same PC supported by the Coral system. The MAP allows up to 20

communications channels to the Coral Control Processors via IP connectivity

and requires Coral Software Version 15.5 or higher. The MAP also provides

CoraLINK (CLA) applications that requires Coral Software Version 11 or

higher.The MAP card includes the application processor and Ethernet 10/100Base-T

interface circuitry. The MAP attaches to an expansion connector on the

MCP-IPx2 and MEX-IP2 card in piggyback fashion. The 10/100Base-T

Ethernet interface appears at a RJ-45 connector on the front panel of the MAP

card.The MAP enables the applications (PI, CVD, SMDR, CFM, Wakeup, MCT,

Traffic and Charge) to interact with the Coral system via an RJ-45 LAN

connector instead of the KB0 RS-232 connector and other RMI RS-232 serial

ports. See Chapter 6, Application Cards.

The LAN Interface Unit (LIU) card enables the PI to interact with the Coral

system via an RJ-45 LAN connector instead of the KB0 RS-232 connector.

See Chapter 7, LAN Interface Unit (LIU).

.................................................................................. General

It is the responsibility of the manufacturer’s representative to comply with all safety

requirements specific for each system. Installation of control cards must be carried out

by qualified personnel, only.

.................................................................................. Handling Procedures

This section describes how to safeguard the system against ElectroStatic Discharge

(ESD). Before handling any Coral system, it is necessary to verify that the ESD strap

is properly connected to the Coral system and worn, to prevent damage.

The following figures depict the ESD connection to the cage of each system:

.................................................................................. Inserting a Coral Circuit Card

Note that the Coral system cabinet is equipped with an anti-static wrist strap at the top,

above the card cage. This wrist strap is worn while inserting, removing, or handling

any card in the system. Each card is shipped in an anti-static plastic bag. Cards must

be kept in this bag whenever they are not handled. See Safety Guidelines, page 1-19.

1 Connect the ESD wrist strap connector to the cage and put on the strap.

2 Verify that the power supply to the cage or cabinet in which the control card is

to be inserted is turned OFF.

NEVER place a control card in any slot other than a control card slot. Never place a

control card in a peripheral slot or a shared service slot. Irreparable damage may occur

if a card is placed in an incorrect slot with power applied.

3 To insert a circuit card into a card slot, grasp the card with both hands, fingers

on the edge of the card near the front side, and thumbs against the ejectors at

the top and bottom of the front panel.

4 Verify that the card is oriented correctly, with the DIP switches on the front

panel near the top of card.

5 Align the edges of the circuit card with the card edge guides in the card cage,

and gently slide the card straight into the card slot.

6 A slight resistance will be felt as the multi-pin connectors on the circuit card

meet, mating connectors on the backplane, and engage. Push against the

ejectors until the front panel of the card is flush with the front frame of the

card cage.

Inserting or removing a control card when power is applied could damage the card.

Before removing or inserting the control card, verify that the power supply switch is

turned OFF.

Do not force the circuit card into the slot. If more than slight resistance is encountered,

remove the circuit card and examine the connectors for bent pins or interfering debris.

This section describes the position of the main control cards in the various systems.

The main control card is always positioned in the main cabinet shelf or cage as

described in Figure 1-1 on page 1-27 through Figure 1-31 on page 1-52.

The Coral system is equipped with a main control processor card (MEX-IP2,

MCP-IPx2, MEX-IP or MCP-IPx). The main control processor card provides control

functions such as described in Chapter 2, Main Control Processor Cards.

Control cards do not provide an interface to external devices, such as peripheral cards.

Connecting the LAN cable:

LAN connections to MAP, CLA, or LIU cards are established via RJ-45 connectors

mounted on LDF (LAN Data Filter) panels. Four connectors per each LDF. The

connection is made from an RJ-45 connector on the front panel of a control card via a

crossover cable that is routed to the LDF panel on the rear side of the Coral FlexiCom

5000 cabinet. See Figure 1-24, Figure 1-25, and Figure 1-26.

The LDF incorporates improved RFI immunity. These filters enable the Coral and all

relevant peripheral interface circuits to be fully protected against radio-frequency

interference (RFI) and meet or exceed all requirements and specifications of

telecommunications and electrical safety authorities world-wide.

The connections between the RJ-45 jack on the front panel of the MAP, CLA, or LIU

control cards and the RJ-45 jacks on the LDF panel at the rear side of the cabinet are

to be made by a H624 crossover cable. The crossover cable ensures that the pinout

order from the control cards remain constant from the front panel to the LAN/WAN

connection. See Figure 1-23.

Figure 1-23 H624 Crossover Cable

The Coral FlexiCom 5000 cabinet is supplied with:

1 (one) LDF panel (four RJ-45 connectors for MAP, CLA, LIU, PUGW-2G,

PUGW, UGW, IPG cards)

4 (four) H624 crossover cables

Additional H624 cables (Catalog Number 7244-9043100) and three LDF panels

(Catalog Number 7244-9043100) may be field installed as required.

It is imperative that a crossover cable (Catalog Number 7244-8000624) be used

to make this connection. If an ordinary cable is used the cards will not be

integrated into the system.

.................................................................................. General Information

This section describes the features and functions of the MCP-IPx2 main control

processor card.

The MCP-IPx2 control processor card is installed in the following systems:

Coral IPx 500

Coral FlexiCom 200

CDRS 200

CDRS 200E

The MCP-IPx2 card (see Figure 2-1) provides RS-232E programming and

maintenance interface, Software Authorization Unit (SAU) and flash interface. See

Port Management, page 2-4. The MCP-IPx2 contains multi-pin connectors and support

circuitry for the addition of MAP, CLA, DBM, DBX, and LIU daughterboards. It

integrates the main processor, memory management circuitry, local bus interface,

real-time clock, generic feature software memory, and database memory.

The MCP-IPx2 supervises overall system operation by executing system-wide

processes. These processes include port connection management, feature

management, generic feature software installation, feature authorization,

configuration database management, database backup and restoration, program

interface input/output, and diagnostic testing.

Inserting or removing the MCP-IPx2 control card when power is applied could damage

the card. Before inserting or removing the MCP-IPx2 control card, verify that the power

supply card switch is turned off.

Port Management

In order to manage port connections and feature operation, the main processor

communicates via the following HDLC buses:

MSBipx (backplane) card in the IPx 500 and CDRS 200E

MSBsl (backplane) card in the FlexiCom 200 and CDRS 200

Communication is facilitated via the local card processors on every peripheral card

both in the main and in the expansion cabinets.

The main processor receives status messages from the card processors regarding port

activity. It determines the appropriate response based on the programming entries

contained in the system database. The main processor then instructs the appropriate

card processor as to what action to take with each port.

Memory Management

All system memory resides on the MCP-IPx2 card. The 2MB Static Random Access

Memory (SRAM) is located directly on the MCP-IPx2 card. The MCP-IPx2 also acts

as a mother card to MAP, CLA, DBM, DBX, and LIU daughterboards. The DBM

contains 2, 4, or 8 MB of SRAM expansion memory. The DBX card contains 1MB of

SRAM memory.

Flash memory, located on the flash card, stores the generic feature software. Flash

memory determines the operation of the system. RAM, both on the MCP-IPx2 and on

the DBM or DBX expansion cards, stores the system configuration database, and is

used as a run memory for general purposes. The flash card also stores a copy of the

configuration database.

Database memory and real-time clock functions in the Coral system are protected

against power loss by long-life lithium backup batteries. A battery is installed on the

MCP-IPx2 card; it supplies both the MCP-IPx2 and the DBM expansion card with

backup power. A monitoring circuit on the MCP-IPx2 and DBX card (not on the DBM

card) constantly measures the voltage level of its battery. It signals the main processor

when the remaining energy stored in the battery approaches the point that it can no

longer provide sufficient power to maintain the memory circuitry.

If the DBM card is separated from the MCP-IPx2 card, all of the stored information on

the DBM card is lost.

The generic feature software and feature authorization information is installed and

updated into the flash card using the FMprog PC-utility. Similarly, the system database

is regularly backed up to, and may be transferred and restored from, an

IMC4 / IMC8 / IMC16 card kept in the flash drive.

The Program Interface Facility

The PI (Program Interface) and CoralVIEW CVA/CVD provides a text-based facility

for reviewing and changing the system configuration and database. It enables the

performance and monitoring of diagnostic routines. The PI can be accessed via a

simple data terminal, a personal computer, or via the LAN if a MAP or an LIU card is

installed.

The PI and CoralVIEW CVA/CVD/CVT can be accessed via:

RS-232E data terminal port (KB0) provided on the MCP-IPx2 front panel. See

Figure 2-3.

RJ-45 LAN port provided on the MCP-IPx2 top panel, via the LAN (when an

LIU card is attached). See Figure 2-3.

RJ-45 port provided on the MAP top panel via the LAN (when a MAP card is

attached). See Figure 2-3.

In the IPx 500M and CDRS 200E main cage KB1 / KB2 / KB3 RS-232E port.

See Chapter 9 of the Coral IPx 500 Installation Procedure and Hardware

Reference Manual.

In the FlexiCom 200 and CDRS 200 base unit KB1 RS-232E port provided on

the MSBsl card at the top of the cabinet.

Do not remove the IMC4 / IMC8 / IMC16 card from its drive during system operation.

Doing so while the system is ON AIR will cause the system to shut down.

MCP-IPx2 Status Display Codes

The MCP-IPx2 numeric status display indicates various operating and error states of

the Coral system, and can provide valuable information to assist in the maintenance of

the system. Table 2-4 lists the various status indications.

A “.” (dot) appears during normal system operation, when the 5V supply is functional.

A "0" appears on the status display whenever the system is off-line for maintenance

testing, or to install or update the generic software.

A “b” in the status display indicates that a backup battery on the MCP-IPx2 or on a

DBX card no longer has sufficient energy to maintain the memory circuitry if system

power is lost. Each time a programming session is started from the PI, any faulty

battery is identified. The system database should be saved as soon as possible to a flash

unit, and the faulty battery must be replaced as soon as the system can be shut down,

to ensure continued system reliability.

An “E” indicates that the main processor has been interrupted to prevent database

corruption during a power fluctuation. This condition should clear itself momentarily.

An “L” indicates that the SAU cannot be detected at the SAU port on the top right side

of the MCP-IPx2. Usually, this indicates one or more of the following:

The device is no longer present or is not securely fastened to the MCP-IPx2.

There is a mismatch between the SAU device number and the SAU software

key number.

A “P” appears during software backup.

All other error status indications generally indicate a more serious problem, and are

likely to be accompanied by considerable system malfunction. If an error indication

does not appear to affect system operation, save the database to DB0.DEF

immediately. For further details, see Saving to the Flash Card, page 4-14. When the

system can be restarted without disrupting service, press the reset pushbutton on the

front panel of the MCP-IPx2.

Do not remove the IMC memory card from the MCP-IPx2, press the Reset button, or

switch power OFF when “P” is illuminated. Doing so might damage the IMC data.

RJ-45 LAN Port (LIU)

The RJ-45 LAN port enables PI programming the various features of the Coral system

and monitoring diagnostic information via the LAN and is identical in setup to the

KB0 connection. In order for the RJ-45 LAN port to be used, an LIU card must be

installed on the MCP-IPx2 card and configured. The LIU card translates the protocol

used by the KB0 connector to the protocol used by the LAN. See Chapter 7, LAN

Interface Unit (LIU).

RJ-45 LAN Port SetupThe baud rate is set during first initialization at 9600 bps, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop

bit, VT-100. The baud rate can be set from 300 bps to 115,200 bps. Refer to the

Program Interface Reference Manual (Chapter-17 Terminal Setup - Route: TERM,0)

.................................................................................. Card Connectors

The component side of the MCP-IPx2 card includes the following connectors, as

described in Figure 2-3 and Table 2-1.

Software Authorization Unit

The Software Authorization Unit (SAU) enables a set of permissions and feature

authorizations associated with its unique identification number. The Coral software

detects and verifies the permission settings of the SAU on the Control card

(MCP-IPx2) enabling the system to function properly. For more information, see

Chapter 5, Software Authorization Unit (SAU).

Flash Memory Card Drive (for IMC4 or FMsl cards)

In the Coral FlexiCom 200 or CDRS 200 systems the flash memory card slot houses

an Integrated Memory Card with an 4MB flash memory capacity IMC4 (FMsl). For

further information, see Chapter 4, Flash Memory Cards


By default, the MCP-IPx2 card is configured to operate using IMC8 or ICM16 flash memory cards. In this setting, all DIP switches are set to the right. If you intend to install an IMC4 (FMsl) flash memory card, set the number 3 DIP switch to the left position.

Flash Memory Card Drive (for IMC8 and IMC16 cards)

In the Coral IPx 500 or CDRS 200E systems the flash memory card slot houses an

Integrated Memory Card with an 8MB flash memory capacity (IMC8) or 16MB flash

memory capacity (IMC16). For further information, see Chapter 4, Flash Memory

Cards IMC4(FMsl), IMC8, IMC16.

DBM Expansion Memory Card

The DBM card is a memory expansion card. The DBM card adds an additional 4 or

8 MB SRAM to the Coral system main control (version 15 and higher). The DBM card

is used to expand the storage capacity to the configuration database. The DBM

memory is protected by the lithium battery located on the MCP-IPx2 card. This battery

continues to supply the SRAM when power to the Coral system is removed. The card

includes a connector on its top side, allowing for another memory or application card

to be connected. For further information, see Chapter 3, Expansion Memory Cards.

DBX Expansion Memory Card

The DBX card is a memory expansion card. The DBX card adds additional 1MB

SRAM storage to the Coral system main control. The card is equipped with an

extension connector on its top side, allowing for another expansion memory or

application card to be connected on top of it. The card also contains a long-life,

replaceable lithium energy cell which continues to supply power to the SRAM when

power to the Coral system is removed. A battery monitoring circuit produces a system

alarm when the energy level in a lithium cell drops below a reliable level. For further

information, see Chapter 3, Expansion Memory Cards.

Application Card (MAP and CLA)

The MAP or CLA card may be installed for specific applications requiring either a

MAP or a CLA card. For more information, see Chapter 6, Application Cards.

LIU Connector

The LAN Interface Unit (LIU) is a card that enables the MCP-IPx2 to perform

maintenance from the RJ-45 LAN connector. This card is redundant if a MAP card is

attached to the MCP-IPx2. For more information, see Chapter 7, LAN Interface Unit

(LIU).

Backup Lithium Battery

A new lithium battery can maintain power to the MCP-IPx2 and DBM memory

circuitry and real-time clock for approximately 90 days. The battery is not recharged

by the system power. Thus, if the battery has powered the memory and real-time clock

for an extended period and near depletion is suspected, the contents of the memory

must be backed up, and the battery must be replaced. The internal diagnostic

procedure will cause a “b” to appear on the 7-segment display of the MCP-IPx2 front

panel, indicating that the battery should be replaced. The backup battery includes an

insulator that is removed before inserting the card into its slot. Figure 2-1 identifies the

location of the battery holder and illustrates the insulator removal.

Testing the Lithium BatteryThe battery voltage, tested under load, can be used to determine its state of charge.

Voltage measured across an unused battery connected to the memory circuitry must be

between 3.30 and 3.35 volts. If the voltage is less than 2.50 volts, replace the battery.

For first time use, remove the protective battery insulator. See Figure 2-1.

Replacing the Lithium Battery1 Carefully lift the battery with your thumbnail.

2 Insert the new battery with the + (positive) symbol appearing on top.

Do not use any metal tool to release or insert the battery. Doing so could result in a

short circuit and damage the battery.

Explosion and Environmental Hazards.

There is a danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to requirements specified by the battery manufacturer and/or local regulatory agencies.

5 Remove the MCP-IPx2 control card from the main Coral unit.

Before removing the MCP-IPx2 card from the Coral system, do the following:

1.Perform the Database Binary Backup procedure.

2.Verify that the database is not being backed up: check that the main control card

numeric status display does not read “P”. Data will be lost if power is removed from

the system when “P” is illuminated.

3.Turn the Coral power supply OFF. The flash card could be damaged if the MCP-IPx2

card is removed when the system is powered.

.................................................................................. General Description

This section describes the features and functions of the MEX-IP2 main control

processor card.

The MEX-IP2 control processor card is installed in the following systems:

Coral FlexiCom 300, 400V, 400, 5000

Coral IPx 800, 3000

The MEX-IP2 card (see Figure 2-23) provides RS-232E programming and

maintenance interface, Software Authorization Unit (SAU), and flash interface. The

MEX-IP2 contains multi-pin connectors and support circuitry for the addition of MAP,

CLA, DBM, DBX, and LIU daughterboards. It integrates the main processor, memory

management circuitry, local bus interface, real-time clock, generic feature software

memory, and database memory. The MEX-IP2 supervises overall system operation by

executing system-wide processes. These processes include port connection

management, feature management, generic feature software installation, feature

authorization, configuration database management, database backup and restoration,

program interface input/output and diagnostic testing.

Inserting or removing the MEX-IP2 control card when power is applied could damage

the card. Before inserting or removing the MEX-IP2 control card, verify that the power

supply card switch is turned off.

Port Management

In order to manage port connections and feature operation, the main processor

communicates through the:

HDC card in the IPx 800 and FlexiCom 400 systems

4GC card in the IPx 3000 and FlexiCom 5000 systems

16GC circuits embedded on the MCB Office card of the main IPx Office unit,

and on the backplane of the IPx 500M

Communication is facilitated via the HDLC buses, with the local card processors on

each peripheral card both in the main and in the expansion cabinet(s). The main

processor receives status messages from the card processors regarding port activity. It

determines the appropriate response based on the programming entries contained in

the system database. The main processor then instructs the appropriate card processor

as to what action to take with each port.

Memory Management

All system memory resides on the MEX-IP2 card. The 2MB Static Random Access

Memory (SRAM) is located directly on the MEX-IP2 card. The MEX-IP2 also acts as

a mother card to MAP, CLA, DBM, DBX, and LIU daughterboards. The DBM card

contains 2, 4, or 8 MB of memory. The DBX card includes 1MB of SRAM.

Flash memory, located on the flash card, stores the generic feature software, which

determines the operation of the system. RAM, both on the MEX-IP2 and on the DBM

or DBX expansion cards, stores the system configuration database, and is used as a run

memory for general purposes. The flash card also stores a copy of the configuration

database.

Database memory and real-time clock functions in the Coral system are protected

from power loss by long-life lithium backup batteries. A battery is installed on the

MEX-IP2 card; it supplies both the MEX-IP2 and the DBM card with backup power.

A monitoring circuit on the MEX-IP2 and DBX card (not on the DBM card)

constantly measures the voltage level of its battery. It signals the main processor when

the remaining energy stored in any battery approaches the point that it can no longer

provide sufficient power to maintain the memory circuitry.

If the DBM card is separated from the MEX-IP2 card, all of the stored information on the

DBM card is lost.

The generic feature software and feature authorization information is installed and

updated into the flash card, using the FMprog PC-utility. Similarly, the system

database is regularly backed up to, and may be transferred and restored from, an

IMC4 IMC8 / IMC16 card inserted in the flash memory card drive.

The Program Interface Facility

The PI (Program Interface) and CoralVIEW CVA/CVD provides a text-based facility

for reviewing and changing the system configuration and database. It enables the

performance and monitoring of diagnostic routines. The PI can be accessed via a

simple data terminal, a personal computer, or via the LAN if a MAP or an LIU card is

installed.

The PI and CoralVIEW CVA/CVD/CVT can be accessed via:

RS-232E data terminal port (KB0) provided on the MEX-IP2 front panel. See

Figure 2-24.

RJ-45 LAN port provided on the MEX-IP2 front panel via the LAN when an

LIU card is “FRONT” attached. See Figure 2-24.

RJ-45 LAN port provided on the IPx 800, 3000 rear panel, via the LAN when

an LIU card is “REAR” attached. See Figure 2-29 and Figure 2-30.

RJ-45 LAN port provided on the MAP front panel via the LAN when a MAP

card is attached. See Figure 2-25.

Do not remove the IMC4 / IMC8 / IMC16 card from its drive during system operation.

Doing so while the system is ON AIR will cause the system to shut down.

Table 2-8 MEX-IP2 Control Card Functions

Function What is it for?


Used for alarms and diagnostic functions. A full list of possible displays is provided later on in this chapter. See Table 2-9 on page 2-48.The Green LED 7-Segment display is lit to indicate normal system operation and 5V power is functional.

LAN LED indicator (green)

Lit when DIP switch #1 is switched to the left and an LIU card is installed, indicating that the PI is accessed via the LAN.

Option DIP switches

All switches should be set to OFF (right) so that the system will respond after a power failure. DIP switch #1 is switched to the left for LAN connection. In this case, all interaction with the PI is carried via the LAN and not via the KB0 RS-232E port.

Watchdog Indicator (red)

For the manufacturer’s use, only. If this red LED indicator is lit, switch DIP switch #8 to the right.

KB0 Port Data Terminal Port, DTE Interface, used to connect an RS-232E serial cable, providing access to the PI or CoralVIEW CVA/CVD/CVT.Default configuration:9600 bps, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, VT-100. See KB0 RS-232E Programing Port, page 2-49.

CPU Reset Pushbutton

Forces the Coral system to restart. Used to partially initialize the system (cause a warm restart procedure), simulating the procedure that occurs automatically when power is applied to the system.Forcing initialization by pressing reset immediately disconnects all calls in progress but does not set the database to default. However, resetting the main processor while the database is being programmed (P on the 7-segment display) may corrupt the database. If this happens, the database must be restored.CAUTIONPressing this button will cause partial initialization and drop all calls.Additionally, all keyset call logs will be cleared.

Flash Card Release Button

Used to release the flash memory card. See Chapter 4, Flash Memory Card.

Flash Memory Card

Used to save and restore the database as well as to store the Generic feature software.CAUTIONInserting or removing this card while the MEX-IP2 card is powered could result in damage to the card.Inserting or removing this card will cause a partial initialization. All calls in progress will be terminated.

LAN Port RJ-45, LAN connector located on the front panel of the card. This connector is used to interface the PI via the LAN when an LIU card is supplied and DIP switch #1 is switched to the left. When these conditions are met, the green LED indicator is lit.

SAU Connector The Software Authorization Unit is attached here. See Software Authorization Unit (SAU), page 5-1

MEX-IP2 Status Display Codes

The MEX-IP2 numeric status display indicates various operating and error states of

the Coral system, and can provide valuable information to assist in the maintenance of

the system. Table 2-9 lists the various status indications and their meaning.

A “.” (dot) appears during normal system operation.

A "0" appears on the status display whenever the system is off-line for maintenance

testing, or to install or update the generic software.

A "b" in the status display indicates that a backup battery on the MEX-IP2 or on a

DBX card no longer has sufficient energy to maintain the memory circuitry if system

power is lost. Each time a programming session is started from the PI, any faulty

battery is identified. The system database should be saved as soon as possible to an

IMC8 / IMC16 unit, and the faulty battery must be replaced as soon as the system can

be shut down, to ensure continued system reliability.

An "E" indicates that the main processor has been interrupted to prevent database

corruption during a power fluctuation. This condition should clear itself momentarily.

An “L” indicates that the SAU cannot be detected at the SAU port on the front panel

of the MEX-IP2. Generally, this indicates that:

The device is no longer present or is not securely fastened to the MEX-IP2.

There is a mismatch between the number of the SAU device installed on the

card and the number of the SAU key.

A “P” appears during software backup.

All other error status indications generally indicate a more serious problem, and are

likely to be accompanied by considerable system malfunction. If an error indication

does not appear to affect system operation, save the database to DB0.DEF

immediately. For further details, see Saving to the Flash Card, page 4-14. When the

system can be restarted without disrupting service, press the reset pushbutton on the

front panel of the MEX-IP2.

Do not remove the IMC flash memory card from the MEX-IP2, push reset, or switch

power OFF when “P” is illuminated. Doing so might damage the IMC data.

Table 2-9 lists the MEX-IP2 card status display codes and their meaning.

Table 2-9 MEX-IP2 Status Display Codes

Pressing Reset pushbutton interrupts all calls in progress and causes the system to

initialize, possibly discarding the database information stored in the database memory

and reloading the database from IMC8/IMC16. Additionally, all keyset call logs will be

cleared.

L The Software Authorization Unit (SAU) cannot be detected at the SAU port on the front panel of the MEX-IP2. Generally, this indicates that: The device is no longer present or is not securely fastened

to the MEX-IP2. There is a mismatch between the number of the SAU device

installed on the card and the number of the SAU key.CAUTIONIf the SAU is removed from the MEX-IP2, the Coral system automatically ceases call processing after 14 days. Relevant messages appear on the PI, warning that the system will not operate without the proper SAU.See Software Authorization Management, page 5-1 for details.

KB0 RS-232E Programing Port

The serial interface of the KB0 programming port on the MEX-IP2 conforms to the

EIA RS-232E specification. It is wired as a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device

using a popular 9-pin, female, D-type connector. The interface allows connection of a

common, asynchronous, ASCII data terminal, personal computer or external modem

for programming the various features of the Coral system and monitoring diagnostic

information.

Figure 2-27 illustrates the pin assignments of the DB-9S connector. Table 2-10 lists

the pin functions. See Chapter 2 of the relevant Installation Procedure and Hardware

Reference Procedure for detailed connection information and terminal setup.

RJ-45 LAN Port (LIU)

The RJ-45 LAN port enables PI programming the various features of the Coral system

and monitoring diagnostic information via the LAN and is identical in setup to the

KB0 connection. In order for the RJ-45 LAN port to be used, an LIU card must be

installed on the MEX-IP2 main control processor card on the front or rear panel. The

LIU card translates the protocol used by the KB0 connector to the protocol used by the

LAN. See Chapter 7, LAN Interface Unit (LIU).

RJ-45 LAN Port SetupThe baud rate is set during first initialization at 9600 bps, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop




The following table shows the interface connections of the pins on the LIU RJ-45

connectors.

Table 2-12 MEX-IP2 Card Layout Features

Flash Memory Card Drive (for IMC8 and IMC16 cards)

The flash memory card slot houses an Integrated Memory Card with an 8MB flash

memory capacity (IMC8) or 16MB flash memory capacity (IMC16). For further

information, see Chapter 4, Flash Memory Cards IMC4(FMsl), IMC8, IMC16.

DBM Expansion Memory Card

The DBM card is a memory expansion card. The DBM card adds an additional 4 or

8 MB SRAM to the Coral system main control (version 15 and higher). The DBM card

is used to expand the storage capacity to the configuration database. The DBM

memory is protected by the lithium battery located on the MEX-IP2 card. This battery

continues to supply the SRAM when power to the Coral system is removed. The card

includes a connector on its top side, allowing for another memory or application card

to be connected. For further information, see Chapter 3, Expansion Memory Cards.

DBX Expansion Memory Card

The DBX card is a memory expansion card. The DBX card adds additional 1MB

SRAM storage to the Coral system main control. The card is equipped with an

extension connector on its top side, allowing for another expansion memory or

application card to be connected on top of it. The card also contains a long-life,

replaceable lithium energy cell which continues to supply power to the SRAM when

power to the Coral system is removed. A battery monitoring circuit produces a system

alarm when the energy level in a lithium cell drops below a reliable level. For further

information, see Chapter 3, Expansion Memory Cards.

Application Card (MAP and CLA)

The MAP or CLA card may be installed for specific applications requiring either a

MAP or a CLA card. For more information, see Chapter 6, Application Cards.

LIU Connector

The LAN Interface Unit (LIU) is a daughterboard that enables the MEX-IP2 to

perform maintenance from the RJ-45 LAN connector. This card is redundant when a

MAP card is attached to the MEX-IP2.

The LIU card can be installed on the component side of the card in one of two

positions:

LIU front position is used when the LAN connection is made from the front

panel of a Coral unit (as is possible from all Coral units).

LIU rear position is used when the LAN connection is made from the rear

panel of the Coral unit (in IPx 800 and 3000 systems).

For more information, see Chapter 7, LAN Interface Unit (LIU).

Backup Battery

A new lithium battery can maintain power to the MEX-IP2 and DBM memory

circuitry and real-time clock for approximately 90 days. The battery is not recharged

by the system power. Thus, if the battery has powered the memory and real-time clock

for an extended period and near depletion is suspected, the contents of the memory

must be backed up, and the battery must be replaced. The internal diagnostic

procedure will cause a “b” to appear on the 7-segment display of the MEX-IP2 front

panel, indicating that the battery should be replaced. The backup battery includes an

insulator that is removed before inserting the card into its slot. Figure 2-31 identifies

the location of the battery holder and illustrates the insulator removal.

Testing the Backup BatteryThe battery voltage, tested under load, can be used to determine its state of charge.

Voltage measured across an unused battery connected to the memory circuitry should

fall between 3.30 and 3.35 volts. If the voltage measured across a battery is less than

2.50 volts, the battery must be replaced.

For first time use, release the protective battery insulator. See Figure 2-31.

.................................................................................. Inserting the MEX-IP2 Card into its Slot

The MEX-IP2 card is installed in a reserved slot. For further information, see Control

Card Location in Coral System, page 1-21.

1 Verify that the power to the main Coral unit is removed.


3 If a Coral IPx 800, 3000, or FlexiCom 5000 system is being installed, verify

that power to any expansion units is removed.

4 Carefully remove the protective battery insulator from under the top contact of

the lithium battery holder on the MEX-IP2 card. See Figure 2-3.

5 Verify that the DIP switches on the front panel of the MEX-IP2 card are set as

follows (see Figure 2-24):

DIP switches 1 set to the left for LIU connections, only

DIP switches 2-8 set to the right for everything else

6 If DBX cards are installed on the MEX-IP2, carefully remove the protective

battery insulator from under the top contact of the lithium battery holder on the

DBX card. See Figure 3-3 on page 3-10.

7 Insert the MEX-IP2 card fully into its card slot.

Do not insert or remove the control card while the Coral is powered. Sudden power

surges could damage system components. Verify that the power switch is turned off and

the AC power cord is disconnected.

configuration database determines the individual characteristics of a particular

installation site. Figure 3-1 displays the DBM-2, DBM-4 and DBM-8 card layout. The

label at the bottom of the card that reads “DBM-2”, “DBM-4”, or “DBM-8”, indicates

that the DBM card is supplied with 2MB, 4MB, or 8 MB of memory (1 MB per chip),

respectively.

Up to two DBM cards can be mounted onto a main control processor card. The

maximum combined utilized memory of the main control processor card and the

mounted expansion cards does not exceed 15 MB. For example, an MCP-IPx2 card

with two DBM-8 cards includes a combined memory of 16 MB. Of this, only 15 MB

is utilized.

SRAM devices require a constant source of power to retain their contents. Power to

maintain the memory is ordinarily provided by the Coral system in which the DBM

card is installed. Backup voltage for the DBM is supplied by the lithium battery on the

main control processor card.

The main control processor card contains an on-board lithium battery that provides

continuous power to the DBM memory circuitry during the absence of system power.

A battery monitor circuit signals the main processor when the remaining electrical

power stored in the lithium backup battery has exhausted to a level that can no longer

support the memory circuitry.

The DBM does not occupy a card slot within the Coral system unit. Rather, it is

installed as a baby card onto a memory interface connector on the main control

processor card. DBM cards are installed on connector:

P22 on the MCP-IPx2 card. See Figure 2-1 on page 2-2.

P2 on the MEX-IP2 card. See Figure 2-31 on page 2-52.

The DBM card is equipped with an extension connector on the top side that extends

the memory interface connector from the main control processor card, allowing for

another DBM or MAP card to be connected on top of it. The connector on the main

control card can support two DBM cards by stacking one memory card onto the

extension connector of another. When a DBM card is installed in the extension

connector of another DBM card, the memory card installed on the main control

processor card is referred to as the "lower” memory card, and the DBM installed on

the extension connector is referred to as the "upper" memory card.

The MAP, is either attached to a connector on the main control card or is “stacked” on

top of the DBM card at P1. If required, DBM may be installed as either the lower and

upper memory card. Up to two DBM cards, or one DBM card and one MAP card can

be installed on the main control processor card.

Most Coral systems do not require a DBM at all. Special applications may require a

single DBM, and rarely would any system configuration require more than one DBM

card.

Once the system database has been installed, the DBM is powered by a backup battery

positioned on the main control processor card. Removing the DBM cards

(“upper” and/or “lower”) from the main control processor card will cause data on the

DBM card to be lost. Doing so will cause the Coral system to malfunction.

Removing the DBX Card

1 Repeat the procedure outlined in Preparing for DBX Installation or Removal,

page 3-12.

2 Remove the nylon machine screw that secures the DBX card to the standoff

spacer on the main control processor card.

3 Place your thumbs near the front side of the main control processor card, on

either side of the DBX card. Use your fingers to lift the edge of the DBX card

on both sides, gently disengaging the multi-pin connector on the DBX from

the main control processor card connector.

.................................................................................. Testing the Lithium Battery

A new lithium battery has sufficient energy to maintain power to the DBX memory

circuitry for approximately 90 days. However, the battery is not recharged when

system power returns. Thus, if the battery has powered the memory for an extended

period and low battery capacity is suspected, the contents of the memory should be

backed up and the battery replaced. The battery voltage, tested under load, can be used

to determine its state of charge. Voltage measured across a new battery connected to

the memory circuitry should fall between 3.30 and 3.35 volts. If the voltage measured

across a cylindrical battery is less than 2.50 volts, the battery should be replaced.

Replacing the Lithium Battery

In the following procedure, do not apply too much pressure to the battery holder clip

as this could cause the clip to snap.

1 Carefully raise the battery holder clip.



There is a danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly.

Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the

manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to requirements specified by the

battery manufacturer and/or local regulatory agencies.

.................................................................................. Introduction

The Coral system is delivered to the site with factory-loaded software on IMC card.

The IMC card contains three types of data:

Generic Feature Software Version and Boot Code

Authorization

Database Backup

The IMC card can be inserted into a PC slot using any PCMCIA application adapter

for loading a new Coral software version.

Whenever an updated version of the Coral software is released, the upgrade is

delivered to the sites either on a disk, e-mail, or via other electronic media file transfer.

The upgrade is contained in a self-extracting compressed file, specific for the site.

The upgraded generic feature software must be extracted by a PC using the FMprog

tool, and then written from the PC hard disk into the IMC card. The FMprog is a tool

for Coral dealers who install, upgrade and maintain Coral systems using flash memory

cards. For FMprog application, see the FMprog PC-Utility Reference Manual. This

reference manual describes how to install and operate the FMprog-Utility.


The IMC card is an integrated memory card with 4MB, 8MB, or 16MB of flash

memory and capacity. It contains the Erasable, Programmable, Memory flash, used to

store the generic feature software of the control card and is used to store the system

database.

The following flash memory cards are available for insertion into the main control

processor card: the IMC4 (FMsl), IMC8 or IMC16. The flash memory card is a

removable component of the common control section. Installed on the main control

processor card:

The IMC4 (FMsl) card includes 4MB of flash memory. This card can be used

in the Coral FlexiCom 200 and CDRS 200 systems, only.

The IMC8 card includes 8MB of flash memory. This card can be used in any

system except for the FlexiCom 200 and CDRS 200 system.

The IMC16 card includes 16MB of flash memory. This card requires Coral

Software version 15 or higher, it can be used in any system except for the

FlexiCom 200 and CDRS 200 system.

An IMC16 card is required when the database exceeds 1.5MB and can be used with Coral software version 15 or higher.

The generic feature software determines the feature operation of the Coral system. In

addition, the flash card is used to store the database backup as well as the Boot Code.

Figure 4-1 through Figure 4-5 illustrate the flash card.

The flash card is used by the main control during run-time. Therefore, the flash card

must not be removed from its drive during system operation. If removed, the system

will crash.

The main control processor card numeric status display indicates various operating

and error states of the Coral system, and can provide valuable information to assist in

the maintenance of the system. A “P” appears during software installation or backup

to indicate data programming to the flash memory of the flash card.

The flash card provides an extremely reliable and non-volatile storage medium, yet

allows field software update capability. Once programmed, the flash memory retains

its contents indefinitely without power. However, by using a precisely controlled erase

procedure, the entire flash contents can be flash cleared and then reprogrammed to

update the operating software of the system.

The IMC is a FlashLite Linear PC Card provides an easy, simple data storage in a

standard PCMCIA Type I form factor. The FlashLite PC Card provides a rugged,

removable linear flash data storage solution for mobile, embedded systems and

If the IMC flash card is removed while data is being saved or restored that data will be

lost. Do not remove an IMC flash card from the main control card while “P” is appears in

the status display.

The flash memory card does not occupy a card slot within the Coral system. It is

installed on the PCMCIA connector of the main control card. The flash memory

release button releases the flash card. An arrow on the front side of the flash card

indicates the insertion direction. The flash card position in the main control processor

card is shown in , Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-6.

.................................................................................. Inserting and Removing the Flash Card

The flash card contains three types of data:

Generic Feature Software Version

Database Backup

Boot Code

When replacing a flash card with another card that contains upgraded software, the

new card might not contain an updated database. If the new card does not contain a

database, it is important to make a binary backup of the existing database before

removing the card. See the Database Binary Backup PC Utility Reference Manual for

further details.

Before removing a memory card from the Coral system, do the following:





3.Turn the Coral power supply OFF. The flash card could be damaged if removed when

the system is powered.

The second message may appear after two or three minutes, following several

short messages that appear during system start-up:

CCS is on the air ......(ROOT)CCS xx.xx.xxCopyright (c) 2001-xxxx ...............NAME - (site name)SAU# -

After the second message appears, the system is initialized properly and

capable of processing calls. After entering the password, the version level of

the generic feature software is indicated where the x's appear in the line that

reads CCS xx.xx.xx.

9 If the new flash memory card does not include a backup of the current

database, perform the procedure described in Saving to the Flash Card, page 4-14.

10 For Coral CDRS 200, 200E; FlexiCom 200, 5000; IPx 500, 800, 3000:If expansion cages are installed in the system, turn the power supply of each

expansion cage ON again to initialize the peripheral cards in each cage.

The generic feature software contained in the memory card is coded to function with

one (and only one) Software Authorization Unit (SAU), which must be installed on

the MEX-IP2 or MCP-IPx2 card. The SAU also includes information regarding the

features and the highest Coral version authorized to be used in the specific system.

If the any of the following conditions exist, Coral system automatically ceases call processing after 14 days:

The serial number of the SAU does not match the serial number coded into the generic software

The generic feature software contained in the memory card is higher than authorized by the SAU

The SAU is removed from the MEX-IP2 or MCP-IPx card

The program contained on the memory card permits the generic software to function

even if the serial number of the SAU is incorrect, or the SAU is absent entirely. If,

however, the Coral determines that the SAU is missing or not correct, a message

appears during the procedure warning that the system will not operate without the

proper SAU. This provision allows the generic feature software and/or feature

authorizations to be upgraded on a memory card in another distant system, then

installed at the proper system by replacing the existing memory card from the other

distant system containing the upgrade.

During normal system operation, the configuration database may be saved to a file on

the flash memory card for permanent storage. The system may also be programmed to

save the database to the flash memory card automatically on a daily basis, at a

particular time.

A saved database file may be loaded at any time into the system database memory.

This is a way to restore the database into the RAM of a new main control card and an

expansion memory card.

After a new card is installed, verify that the PI starts up properly, and then save the

database in accordance with the following procedure. Once the database in the system

has been constructed, copy the database onto the flash memory card.

.................................................................................. Accessing the Database Flash Menu

1 If a session has not already been established, establish a PI programming

session by entering a PI password.

2 Select the Database Flash Menu (Route: ROOT,0,10,2,2) branch. The Database

Flash menu appears, as follows:

.................................................................................. Saving to the Flash Card

The Database Save feature allows the system database to be copied to the flash card at

any time. The procedure is as follows:

1 Verify that the system time and date are correct (press Control-T to check).

Update through the Time and Date branch (Route: TIME) of the system

database if necessary.

2 From the Database Flash menu press 0 to save the database to a file on the

flash card. The system prompts for the selection of a destination file number,

either DB0.DEF or DB1.DEF, with:

DEST FILE (0,1) - [0]

The DB0.DEF file may be saved automatically at a preset time each day and

so is usually more up-to-date than the DB1.DEF file. See Automatic Daily

Backup, page 4-19. The DB1.DEF file is referred to as the technician’s copy of

the database, and should be saved each time installation or maintenance

personnel make changes to the database.

3 Press 0 or 1, according to the table below, to begin saving the system database

to a file. The default entry is 0 or DB0.DEF.

4 When the prompt EXECUTE (Y/N) - [N] appears, type Y to begin the save

process, or N to cancel and return to the Database IMC4/IMC8/IMC16 menu.

The PI command prompt (*:) will return immediately, but the system will

process the command as a background (low priority) task.

Saving the database to a file generally takes several seconds. While the database is being saved, it is important to note that changes to the system configuration (such as: changing the system to Night Service, setting a Call Forward or Do Not Disturb instruction at a station, even turning on or off Background Music at a key set) are disabled until the database save process is completed.

If the system is unable to save the database, one of several messages will be

generated by the system.

.................................................................................. Loading (Restoring) from the Flash Card

A system database stored in a flash card can be loaded into the system database

memory at any time. This is how to restore the database into the RAM of a main

control card (MCP-IPx2, MEX-IP2, MCP-IPX, or MEX-IP) and an expansion

memory card (DBM or DBX).

Loading the database from a flash card generally takes several minutes. During this process, the Coral system is non-operational.

Loading a database can be useful for installing the database of an existing system into

the database memory of another system that will have a substantially similar

configuration. Similarly, a database can be created by programming a system off-line

at another location (perhaps at the distributor's facilities). The database can then be

loaded at a convenient time at the intended site.

1. From the Database Flash Menu, press 1 to load a database from flash.

The system will display the following message:

CAUTION: Database contents will be lost & system will restart !!!Proceed with restore (Y/N) ? [N]

2. If Y is selected, the system prompts to select a source file number, either DB0.DEF or DB1.DEF with:

FILE (0/1) - [0]

3. Press 0 or 1, according to the table below, to begin loading the database stored in the flash card.

The following prompt appears:

EXECUTE (Y/N) - [N]

Loading a database from a flash card into the system database memory destroys the

original database information stored in the database memory and overwrites it with

information in the flash database file. Once overwritten, the original database cannot be

recovered.

Database File Name PI Entry File Description

DB0.DEF 0 Daily backup automatically at a preset time

4. If you type Y, the system goes through the following retrieval conditions check sequence:

a Verify that the internal flags are present in the database to be loaded.

b Verify that the database is not corrupted (the system executes the checksum

test procedure).

If the procedure checking the database (DBS) retrieval conditions found the

above conditions fulfilled, the following message will appear:

Restore DBS.......

Upon finishing the restoring procedure, the system reports:

Restore Successful

Next, the system will execute the partial initialization.

If the conditions mentioned above were not met, one of the following

messages will be displayed:

Operation denied DB0.DEF is not O.K.

or

Operation denied DB1.DEF is not O.K.

If only one backup file was present when the technician requested DB1.DEF

retrieval, the following message appears:

Operation denied, Load DBS available only to DB0.DEF

5. Press Y to begin loading the database, or press N to return to the Database menu.

Loading the database from a file generally takes several minutes. When the

database has been loaded, the system performs a partial initialization and

begins processing calls.

.................................................................................. Automatic Daily Backup

The system configuration database can be automatically saved to a database file on the

IMC8 at a preset time each day. Use AutoBackup to automatically save the database.

During automatic daily backup the database is saved to DB0.DEF.

1 From the Database Menu, press 3 to set the Auto Backup time. The following

prompt appears:

NUMBER OF DAYS BETWEEN BACKUPS [1..to..255, N]

Set the number of days between automatic backups. The default is set to 7

days between backups, so that an automatic backup file is created every week.

If no automatic backups are needed, enter N for creating manual backups.

Selection of the backup type is required; either a manual backup performed by

the technician or an automatic daily backup. The default after First

Initialization is automatic daily backup every week.

2 Enter N to enable the manual backup or a number between 1 and 255 to

enable a daily backup.

The system prompts for the time of day with:

SET AUTO BACKUP TIME:TIME:

3 Enter the time of day to automatically save the system database in the 24 hour,

military time format. Use 24:00 for midnight and 24:01 to 24:59 for times

between midnight and 1:00 a.m. The default time is 01:30, or 1:30 a.m.

4 The system will return to the Database Backup menu. Press 0 to return to the

Database menu.

.................................................................................. Software Authorization Management

The main control processor card supervises the feature authorization using the SAU

(Software Authorization Unit) lock device. The SAU is a small, encapsulated device

that is plugged into a connector positioned on the components side of the MCP-IPx2

and MCP-IPx cards or on the front panel of the MEX-IP2 and MEX-IP cards. See

Chapter 2, Main Control Processor Cards. The SAU is displayed in Figure 5-1.

The SAU is not used in Coral Wave Gateway (WG) systems. Authorization for Coral WG systems is enabled via other media. For further information, see the Coral WG installation manuals.

The SAU enables a set of permissions and feature authorizations associated with its

unique identification number. The Coral software detects and verifies the permission

settings of the SAU on the Control card enabling the system to function properly.

During software installation, the SAU serial number is compared with the feature

authorization data to verify the authorized use of enhanced Coral system features.

During regular system operation, the SAU is checked to ensure that it remains attached

to the main control processor card. However, if necessary, the SAU can be removed

for short periods (a maximum of two weeks) without interrupting system operation. If

the SAU is removed for more than two weeks, the system ceases to process calls.

The Coral system automatically ceases call processing after 14 days if:

The SAU serial number does not match the corresponding flash memory card serial number (FMsl, IMC4, IMC8, or IMC16).

The Coral generic version contained in the flash memory card is later than is authorized by

the SAU. An SAU is removed from the main control processor card.

Relevant system messages appear on the PI, warning that the system will not operate

without the proper SAU.

Figure 5-1 Software Authorization Unit (SAU) Detail

When starting up the Coral system, ensure that there are no SAU Fault messages

during startup or SAU Alarms (PI Branch: Root, 1, 1, 15-Controls) due to any one of

the following three reasons:

Missing SAU device

Inappropriate SAU software for this type of system

Mismatched SAU serial numbers on the flash card and SAU device

SAU Unique Serial Numbers

Each SAU is assigned a unique, factory set, system identification serial number that

enables the feature authorizations and Coral generic software version for the Coral

system. Figure 5-1 illustrates the four side views of the SAU, including sample ID

numbers. The left side includes the country code, while the right side includes the

unique serial number. The last digit of the serial number is a verification digit. Any

leading zeros, as well as the verification digit do not appear in the SAU number

reported in the PI root menu.

SAUs for Dual Coral Cages and Cabinets (Duplicated Common Controls)

For Coral IPx 3000 and FlexiCom 5000 systems that have dual cages and cabinets for

duplicated common control, the software detects the information embedded on both

SAU devices (one on each main control processor card) and verifies that the same

Coral version is loaded on both SAUs.

In the Coral IPx Office the MAP card is embedded as a software only application on the MCB Office (main board of the Coral IPx Office) and provides all the functionality as described below.In the Coral Wave Gateway the MAP card functions as the signaling interface to the Aeonix, when a Coral IPx/FlexiCom system is converted to work as “Wave Gateway” of the Aeonix.

Tip:

The MAP card can be used to replace the CLA1 card, the STIP2 unit, and

the LIU3 card.

This chapter includes a description of control cards that support software applications

that run on the CDRS 200, Coral IPx 500, 800, 3000 and FlexiCom 200, 300, 400V,

400, 5000 systems. This section describes the Management Application Platform

(MAP) card. The MAP card is displayed in Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2.

The MAP card allows you to manage different external software applications that

interact with the Coral, as well as some of its internal card software, via a single

platform. The allotted managed software differs according to the Coral system.

The MAP card enables media flow between the main control processor card of the

Coral and the IP world. The MAP module is physically connected to the Coral's

control system and provides an Ethernet 10/100Base-T via RJ-45 output connector for

interfacing with the external computer network.

1. F-CLA 686 card, CLA 486 card, and CLA 386 card can be replaced by the MAP card.2. The STIP unit for the CFM application is replaced by the MAP card CNCM’s IP connectiv-

ity, but no Dry Contacts provided.3. The LIU card for the Program Interface PI’s IP connectivity is replaced by the CNCM’s IP

connectivity.

The MAP card is installed as a daughterboard on the MCP-IPx2, MEX-IP2, MCP-IPx,

or the MCP-IPx main control card. The Coral IPx Office includes the MAP application

embedded onto the MCB office control card (also known as C/MAP).

The MAP card provides the physical connection, through the J-BUS, to the main

control card, the call processor of the Coral system, and provides the front panel RJ-45

LAN connection to the IP world. Its front panel also contains a LED indicator, a reset

push button, and an RS-232 COM port. When lit, the LED indicates that the MAP card

is active and functional.

The MAP card contains the memory required for the card’s software and the shared

memory used for information transfer on the bus interface circuit. Table 6-1 displays

the MAP card supported by each software version. Table 6-6 displays the MAP

daughterboard compatible with each main control card.

.................................................................................. MAP Functional Block Diagram

A functional block diagram of the MAP card is displayed in Figure 6-3. A process

flow diagram of the MAP card within the Coral system is displayed in Figure 6-4.

The Ethernet Network Interface (LAN Communication Controller) is an adapter for

interconnecting the system with the Ethernet LAN external computer network.

The CoreModule 32-bit CPU compatible incorporates the elements of a PC

compatible computer and provides the processing power needed to control the

CoraLINK adapter. The MAP card contains a PC104 BUS to interconnect the mini

modules. The PC104 BUS is electrically identical to the ISA BUS. The

communication in this configuration is controlled by an intelligent CPU controller.

The communications software and part of the application software is run on the card

by the local CPU and is not loaded to the exchange call processor (main control

processor card). The MAP card contains a 128 MB SDRAM (Synchronized Dynamic

RAM) memory, shared between the MAP and the main control card. The shared

memory is accessed from the MAP card (via the PC104 BUS and via the J-bus from

the main control processor card). A hard disk can be used to store some of the card

applications that are too heavy to be stored on the flash memory built-in to the MAP

card. When these applications are used, they are factory-loaded.

The MAP card also contains an NMI/watchdog circuit, providing a reset signal to the

CoreModule if it detects a failure in the software cycle.

The communication protocol implemented in the network is TCP/IP. The connection

to the computer network is made with an RJ-45 connector type in accordance with the

10/100Base-T protocol and is located on the front panel of the MAP base card.

.................................................................................. MAP Applications

The MAP card includes the following applications:

Coral Network Communication Manager (CNCM) - directs data between Coral

and the IP world, including CFM, Wakeup, Charge, MCT, CVD, PI, DI Alarm,

SMDR, Traffic

The MAP card does not support Initialization messages, GP messages and other online Alarm messages, when used to communicate with the PI (Program Interface) over IP.

SeaMail - Voicemail application (in IPx Office)

TG-CGW - transfers voice and data to and from the Coral system to the

Aeonix when the Coral system is converted to work as a Wave Gateway

system.

Coral Link Adapter (CLA) - Acts as an interface between the Coral system

and any CTI server application (Composite, FlexCT, etc.). For more

information, see Coral Link Adapter Application, page 6-40.

The CoraLINK (CLA) should be accompanied by an appropriate software application. Please contact the manufacturer for the required CTI application and/or price list. See Chapter 2 in the Coral FlexiCom & Coral IPx Product Description, for more details.

Web Server - interface from which the MAP card is configured

Application Manager - manages all of the other applications on the MAP card

IP Connectivity via the CNCM

The CNCM offers integrated Coral system IP connectivity to replace the Coral KBn

serial connections RS-232 (KB0, KB1, RMI, 8DRCF, 8DRCM). CNCM IP

connectivity offers:

Faster and more reliable connections than the serial connections or even the

STIP and LIU IP connections. For example, the CNCM allows SMDR

buffering whereby the SMDR records are saved, even if the connection is lost.

Concurrent Users: For PI and CVD IP connectivity, up to four concurrent users

can connect via the same TCP/IP network socket (as opposed to a STIP


MAP

ions

d6

connection, where only one user can connect to an application). This amplified

IP connectivity also enables SMDR redundancy by allowing records to be sent

to two different TCP/IP socket destinations.

Port per Application: The connections must be pre-configured to a specific

application, and cannot be changed dynamically (e.g. CVD and PI cannot

share the same TCP port definition).

CLA and UGW relationship to MAP

The IP Address for the CLA card is shared with the MAP IP Address. Therefore, if the

CLA IP Address is changed in the Coral system, then the MAP’s IP Address has

changed, requiring all its client components IP Addresses to be changed as well.

The MAP software also runs the CoraLINK (CLA). For the IPx Office, the MAP IP

Address is defined via the CUGW card in the UGW Card Configuration branch. This

IP Address is also used as the CLA’s IP address. Therefore, when the MAP is in an

ACTIVE state, CLA IP Address information cannot be updated (in the CLA branch)

and a relevant error message is issued.

MAP Cards for Dual Coral Units (Duplicated Common Controls)

For Coral IPx 3000 and FlexiCom 5000 systems that have dual cages and cabinets for

duplicated common control, the software detects the information embedded on both

MAP cards (one on each main control processor card) and verifies that the same Coral

version is loaded on both MAP cards.

TCP IP Sockets

The CNCM acts as a TCP/IP Server for most of its connected applications. All the

applications are connected with the same IP Address while their ports differ and are

assigned by the CNCM.

SMDR TCP IP Sockets

The SMDR application, however, may be defined as a SMDR Client or TCP/IP

Server, as required:

SMDR Server, the application can send SMDR reports to one TCP/IP socket destination, only.

SMDR Client, the application can send SMDR reports to up to two TCP/IP socket destinations. This provides additional redundancy as SMDR output is sent to two different devices simultaneously.

.................................................................................. Installing the MAP Card

This section describes how to install the MAP card onto the different main control

cards and in the different possible configurations.

The MAP card can be installed only on the MCP-IPx2, MEX-IP2, MCP-IPx and MEX-IP main control cards and on any Wave Gateway version.

The MAP does not occupy a card slot within any Coral system cage. Rather, it is

installed as a daughterboard onto a memory interface connector on the main control

processor card. Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-31 display the location of the interface

connector on the main control processor cards.

Unlike the DBM/DBX memory card, the MAP card is not equipped with an extension

connector on the top side. The main control processor card bus interface connector can

support two DBM/DBX memory cards or one DBM/DBX card and one MAP card, by

stacking one card onto the extension connector of another DBM/DBX memory card.

When a MAP card is installed in the extension connector of another DBM/DBX

memory card, the DBM/DBX memory card installed on the main control card is

referred to as the “lower” card, and the MAP installed on the extension connector is

referred to as the “upper” card. The MAP can be stacked on top of the DBM/DBX card

or may be installed by itself without any DBM/DBX card. The MAP is secured to the

main control processor card or to the memory interface extension connector of another

DBM/DBX card by threaded nylon spacers. The parts used to attach the spacer to the

main control processor card are listed below. The MAP assembly kit includes

additional parts. However, you only need to use the parts listed below.

Preparing for MAP Installation (or Removal)

.................................................................................. Setting the MAP Card DIP Switches

The DIP switches on the right side of the MAP card configure the card to function

either the CoraLINK (CLA) and CNCM applications or with the CLA application,

only. Coral Main Software versions 11, 14, and 15 do not support the CNCM

application. Coral Main Software version 15.5 or higher does support the CNCM

application.

Table 6-6 displays the correct position of each DIP switch on the MAP card as a

function of the Coral software version installed. See Figure 6-1 for a description of the

DIP switches.

Table 6-6 Position of DIP Switches on MAP Card

To set the DIP switches:

Do one of the following:

For Coral versions 11 through 15.49, verify that all DIP switches are turned off

(downwards). See Figure 6-1.

For Coral versions 15.5 or higher and WG, verify that DIP switch #1 is turned

on (upwards) and that DIP switches #2 through #4 are turned off (downwards).

Configuring the IP Parameters of the MAP Card

The IP Definitions page includes the TCP Port of every feature that gets sent to the

queue via the MAP card. Since all features except for SMDR are automatically

defined as Server, SMDR is the only parameter that is defined by the user. The SMDR

can be defined as Client or Server. When the SMDR feature is defined as a Client,

enter the server IP address in the corresponding field. See Table 6-7.

MAP Setup for Client Applications1 If the client is positioned on the other side of the firewall, verify that the NAT

settings of the TCP port have been configured as shown in Figure 6-6.

2 Define the server IP address on the application side.

Server Application Setup1 Select a specific terminal from the server terminals group.

2 Define IP address and IP port of the application.

3 Set an application destination for the selected terminal.

Configuring the SMDR Report TCP/IP Destinations

SMDR Report destinations are defined as a TCP/IP sockets when the CNCM

application is used.

1 In the Coral PI database, define the SMDR_DEST parameter as 99(Route: SMDR, 0). Coral displays the last IP port not yet used. See Chapter 14

of the Coral Program Interface and Database manual.

2 In the Coral PI database, you can define the SMDR_BACKUP parameter as 0

(Route: SIZ). This releases the SMDR memory allocated by Coral that is not

utilized by the CNCM application.

3 In the CNCM application, in the IP Definitions page (see Figure 6-6), define

the SMDR mode as Server or Client; Table 6-7 describes the SMDR field

entries for both modes.

SMDR Server, the application can send SMDR reports to one TCP/IP

socket destination, only.

SMDR Client, the application can send SMDR reports to up to two TCP/IP

socket destinations. This provides additional redundancy as SMDR output is

sent to two different devices simultaneously.

4 Configure the parameters as specified in Table 6-7 and click Apply; the SMDR

application is configured to send records to one or two different TCP/IP

sockets.

CNCM Supports IP Coral destinations

Currently, the Coral can define IP connections for these destinations by entering the

“99” string as the destination port number. In this manner, an IP connection can be

established for the application (via CNCM software in the MAP) when MAP is in

“ACTIVE” status for the Coral system.

PI destination parameters appear in the following branches and are assigned the

following default TCP/IP ports as described in Table 6-10.

STIP is no longer required for the CFM or any other application requiring an IP connection. The LIU card for the PI’s IP connectivity is also replaced by the CNCM’s IP connectivity.

Coral Components Discontinuation Announcement: CLA 386, CLA 486, and F-CLA 686 have been discontinued. MAP cards replace the discontinued CLA cards, which are no longer produced. See page 6-1.

The CLA (CoraLINK Adapter) appears in various configurations:

CLA 386 (10Base-2 via Coax)

CLA 486 (10Base-T via RJ-45)

F-CLA 686 (10/100Base-T via RJ-45) with a Compact Flash memory card

The CLA cards are shown in Figure 6-10 and Figure 6-11.

The CoraLINK is a Computer-Telephony Integration (CTI) Link for the Coral system

that provides an Open Architecture Interface (OAI) to the call processing and

management circuitry. CoraLINK enables external computer applications to monitor

call activity, and establish, manipulate, and disconnect calls through the Coral system.

Coral systems installed with the CLA card enable the system to function as a universal

communications switching platform for specialized communications applications.

The CoraLINK OAI interface enables connection of the Coral's control circuits to an

external Ethernet LAN computer network.

The CoraLINK module is physically connected to the Coral's control system and

provides an Ethernet 10/100Base-T via RJ-45 output connector for interfacing with

the external computer network.

CoraLINK is implemented by installing a CLA card “piggy-back” as a daughterboard

on the main control processor card. The CLA is installed on the memory expansion

connector on the main control processor card. Refer to the CoraLINK Reference

Manual and Coral FlexiCom & Coral IPx Product Description for detailed information

on the CLA.

The CLA module is composed of a base card and two mini modules mounted on it.

CLA Functional Block Diagram

The functional block diagram is shown in Figure 6-12 and Figure 6-13.

The Ethernet Network Interface (LAN Communication Controller) is an adapter for

interconnecting the system with the Ethernet LAN external computer network. The

CoreModule 32-bit CPU compatible incorporates the elements of a PC compatible

computer and provides the processing power needed to control the CoraLINK adapter.

The CLA base card contains a PC104 BUS to interconnect the mini modules. The

PC104 BUS is electrically identical to the ISA BUS.

The communication in this configuration is controlled by an intelligent CPU

controller. The communications software and part of the application software is run on

the card by the local CPU and is not loaded to the main control processor card.

The base card contains a 256 Kbyte static RAM memory, shared between the CLA and

the main control processor card. The shared memory is accessed from the CLA card

via the PC104 BUS and via the J-bus from the main control processor card.

In the CLA 486 card, the 2MB flash memory EPROM on the base card contains the

card's software, which is burnt into memory during the regular software installation

procedure. The flash stores code for the card's program. The flash EPROM is

connected to the PC104 BUS.

In the CLA 686 card, the CFD (Compact Flash Disk) memory on the CFCLA mini

module contains the CLA card's software and programming code, which is factory

loaded. The CFD is connected to the PC104 BUS via the IDE BUS.

The CLA card also contains an NMI/watchdog circuit, providing a reset signal to the

CoreModule if it detects a failure in the software cycle.

The communication protocol implemented in the network is TCP/IP. The connection

to the computer network is made with an RJ-45 connector type in accordance with the

10/100Base-T protocol and is located on the front panel of the CLA base card.

.................................................................................. Installing the CLA Card

This section details the CoraLINK Adapter (CLA) hardware installation procedure.

The hardware installation procedure necessitates shutting off the Coral input power, which halts all normal system call processing and disconnects all calls in progress. If this procedure is performed on an existing installation that is processing calls, do it when least disruption to call traffic is likely.

The CoraLINK hardware for the Coral system consists of a CLA card mounted on the

main control processor card. Installing the CLA card is a quick and simple process

requiring a small flat head screwdriver. The CLA does not occupy a card slot within

the Coral system. Rather, it is installed as a daughterboard onto a memory connector

on the main control processor card. Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-31 display the location of

the interface connector on the main control cards.

Unlike the expansion memory card, the CLA card is not equipped with an extension

connector on the top side. The main control card bus interface connector can support

two expansion memory cards or one expansion card and one CLA card, by stacking

one card onto the connector of another expansion memory card. When a CLA card is

installed in the extension connector of another expansion memory card, the expansion

memory card installed on the main control processor card is referred to as the “lower”

card, and the CLA installed on the extension connector is referred to as the “upper”

card. The CLA can be stacked on top of the expansion card or may be installed as the

lower card without any expansion card. The CLA is secured to the main control

processor card or to the memory interface extension connector of another expansion

card by threaded nylon spacers. See the following for various installation options:

Preparing for CLA Installation (or Removal)












Installing the CLA Card

1 If an expansion memory card (DBM or DBX) is installed, skip to Step 3.

Install three type A spacers provided with the CLA card into the three

mounting holes on the main control processor card. See Figure 2-2 for the

MCP-IPx2 and Figure 2-31 for the MEX-IP2.

2 Remove the three nylon screws threaded into the top of the three standoff

spacers if you have not already done so, and save them for further use. Refer

to Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-31 for the location of the memory interface

connector on the main control processor cards.

3 If the CLA is to be stacked over another DBX expansion memory card, install

the four spacers (two of each, types A and B) provided with the CLA, into the

two mounting holes on the main control processor card to secure the CLA.

4 Carefully align the multi-pin plug on the bottom of the CLA card with the

mating connector on the main control processor card, or on the extension

connector of the "lower" expansion memory card.

5 Gently but firmly press the CLA plug into the main control processor card or

the DBX connector until the CLA card rests on the nylon spacers. A slight

resistance will be felt as the connectors engage.

6 Reinsert the nylon screws through the mounting holes of the CLA card and

thread the screws into the nylon spacers until snug.

7 For F-CLA 686 card type, if not already inserted, insert the appropriate CLA

compact flash memory disk (CFD) into the drive on the CFCLA mini module.

See Figure 6-11.

8 Verify that all slide switches (on the CLA right side) are set to OFF (right).

9 Install the main control processor card as described on Chapter 2, Main


Verify that the pins of the CLA plug are aligned with the pin sockets of the main control

processor card or the expansion connector.

Do not over-tighten the nylon screws or they may be damaged.

.................................................................................. Coral Link Adapter Application

In Coral CTI applications, CoraLINK is connected to the Ethernet backbone along

with the telephony server, as shown in Figure 6-14.

The CoraLink acts as an interface between the Coral system and any CTI server

application for all the services (call, transfer, etc.) and events (monitoring functions)

of the network. The CTI application together with the CTI telephony server

manipulate numerous different call commands from the agent network and translate

them into logical data. The CTI telephony server communicates with the CoraLINK

through a single connection. The CoraLINK then translates that data into logical

information for the Coral system, which processes the calls.

CoraLINK can support eight concurrent different multiple CTI applications on the

network, any or all of which may be simultaneously directing service requests to, and

receiving status events at any time.

CoraLINK uses TCP/IP protocol, complies with the Complies with ECMA 179,

ECMA 180, and ECMA 269 phase 3 standards (CSTA III). CoraLINK also supports

the Novell TSAPI protocol, the Intel Dialogic CT-connect, and IBM’s Callpath.

The CLA should be accompanied by an appropriate software application. Please contact the manufacturer for the required CTI application and/or price list. See Chapter 2 in the Coral FlexiCom & Coral IPx Product Description, for more details.

.................................................................................. Connecting the Coral to the Workstation

The RJ-45 LAN connector can be connected to the workstation either with a hub or a

crossover cable. See Figure 7-8.

1 Verify that the main control card has been inserted into the Coral system and is

operational. See Control Card Location in Coral System, page 1-21.

2 Do one of the following:

For connections made directly to the Coral, connect an RJ-45 crossover

cable between the Coral LIU connector and the workstation. See Figure 7-8

and Figure 7-9.

For connections made to the Coral via the LAN, attach an ordinary cable

between the Coral LIU connector and the workstation. See Figure 7-8.

3 Connect the other end of the cable to the workstation.

.................................................................................. Configuring the LIU Card

This section describes how to configure the LIU card.

1 Before configuring the LIU, verify that:

The MAC address appears on the device label.

Your system administrator has provided the IP address parameters,

including the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

DIP switch #1 on the front panel of the MCP-IPx2 or MEX IP2 control

card is turned to the left and the green LED above it is continuously ON.

Failure to turn DIP switch #1 to the left and verify that the green LED is continuously ON will result in no communication via the LAN.

The main control card is installed and functioning as described in MCP-IPx2

Status Display Codes, page 2-9.

2 Connect to the LIU using one of the following:

Two ordinary Ethernet cables: The first cable is connected between the

workstation and the LAN. The second cable is connected between the LAN

and the Coral LIU connector. See Figure 7-8.

One Ethernet crossover cable connected between the computer LAN

interface and the Coral LAN interface. See Figure 7-8. This option is

applicable for situations where the workstation connects directly to the LIU

port. Generally, the LIU port connects to a remote workstation via the LAN,

and a cross-over cable is not necessary. Both the Coral system and the

workstation are considered to be servers. Therefore, the cable

interconnecting them must be a cross-over cable. See Figure 7-9.

3 Set the baud rate as follows: the baud rate is set during first initialization at

9600 bps, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, VT-100. The baud rate can be set

from 300 bps to 115,200 bps. Refer to the Program Interface Reference

Manual (Chapter-17 Terminal Setup - Route: TERM,0) for instructions on the

database programming required.

4 Verify that the computer has a valid IP address. Do one of the following:

Assign an IP address from DHCP. See Assigning an IP Address, page 7-15.

Assign a static IP address. See Appendix: Assigning a Static IP Address,

page 7-26. If a crossover cable is connected between the workstation and the

Coral, assign a static IP address to the workstation.

.................................................................................. Assigning an IP Address

The IP address can be assigned from the DHCP server or statically. To assign a static

IP address, see Appendix: Assigning a Static IP Address, page 7-26.

The displayed output on the following pages constitutes examples from a specific LIU software version. Output might differ on your screen.

1 In the command prompt, type ipconfig to display the computer IP parameters,

including the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

2 Add a static ARP entry to the computer ARP table as follows: in the command

prompt, type arp –s [your IP-address] [your MAC-address], and press Enter.

The IP address format is as follows: xxx.yyy.zzz.www.The MAC address format is as follows: 00-20-4a-aa-bb-cc.

3 Verify the Static ARP entry by typing arp –a and pressing Enter. The IP

address and the MAC address (physical address) should be listed as static

entries. Verify that these addresses are correct.

4 Assign the IP-Address temporarily to the device as follows:Telnet the device to port 1 by typing telnet IP-address 1. After a few seconds,

the connection will fail, and the computer will generate an error message.

However, the device will store the IP-address temporarily.
