SARK UCS/MVP Managed PCI Telephony Cards

NB! PCI Echotune is not currently available for SARK/SAIL 2.3.

SARK UCS/MVP 2.1.14 PCI Echotune for TDM Boards

SARK UCS/MVP releases prior to 2.1.12 used a simple modprobe/proc detection technique to discover and configure telephony cards . This is OK for analogue cards but is less satisfactory for BRI/PRI and mixed set-ups which are more sensitive to the mix of modules loaded.

Releases designated 2.1.13 and later use a different detection technique which should ease integration of new cards in the future. Cards are detected using their vendor/device/subsystem ID's and checked against Selintra database entries for known, supported card types.

Releases designated 2.1.14-404 and later also incorporate an enhanced echo tuning technique specifically for Digium TDM4xx analogue boards. Furthermore, these releases require smeserver-asterisk-1.2.10-3.i686.rpm or anabri-asterisk-florz-1.2.10-5.i686.rpm or later.

Procedure

Choose the "PCI Cards" option from the main menu and press the "STOP" button to halt the PBX...

If you need to alter thetuning parameters which SARK/SAIL will use, do it now and press the "EchoTune" button. The board(s) will now be tuned for echo.

N.B. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE FXO PORTS ON YOUR CARD ACTUALLY ATTACHED TO THE pstn LINE(S) DURING THE tune. Tuning can take up to 5 minutes so please be patient!

At the end of the run, you will see a screen like this...

In the above example, two of the card channels failed to tune because they are FXS. This is normal behaviour; FXS cards cannot be tuned.

Once done, simply press "Done" and then restart the PBX by pressing "START" on the main PCI Cards screen.
