LEDs

The AG 2000 board has four indicators (LEDs) on the end bracket of the board and 14 indicators (LEDs) on the component side of the board.

LEDs on the End Bracket

The board locate indicator identifies the board using the software. The status indicator remains on after the board is booted.

The following table present the settings for High Batt and Low Batt:

On indicates that the LED must be lit for proper operation. N/A indicates that it is not required for the LED to be lit.

It is not required to have a Low Batt on the subscriber loop. If a single voltage is used, it must connect to High Batt. If the loop cable is less than 2000 feet,
-24 VDC should be used. If the loop cable is greater than 2000 feet, -48 VDC should be used.

LEDs on the Component Side of the Board

There are 14 LEDs (7 pairs) on the component side of the AG 2000 board. (Refer to Figure 18 in Chapter 4.)

External Power Connector

As shown in Figure 27, the external power connector is located on the end bracket of the AG 2000 board. For more information about this external power connector, refer to Section 2.6, Connecting Power Supplies.

Figure 27. External Power Connector


Note:	 The mating power connector is Molex 43025-1000 or an equivalent.

DIP Switch

The AG 2000 DIP switch is located on the component side of the board.

DIP switch S1 (shown in Figure 29) controls the H.100 bus termination. By default, all S1 switches are set to OFF (H.100 bus termination disabled). Setting switch S1 to ON enables H.100 bus termination. Only set switch S1 to ON for the boards that are on the ends of the H.100 bus. DIP switch S1 should be set to either all ON or all OFF.

QSLAC Files and Impedances

The QSLAC files that start with the characters a2usa will provide an input impedance of 600 Ohms + 2.2 uF. However, a selection of files is provided (refer to Chapter 3) to permit applications such as the Switching service, which does not use echo cancellation, to reduce echo. The default file is sufficient for most applications.

Development Test Port Connector

The development test port connector on the AG 2000 board (shown in Figure 31) gives developers easy access to the transmit for ports 7 and 8 and receive for port 8 for fast debugging of applications.
WARNING:

This connector is not intended or certified for use at end-user sites.

The connector is a hardware interface composed of a 4 pin connector and amplifier circuitry provided on the AG 2000 board which allows audio ports from port 7 and port 8 to be summed together and played out. Audio can be recorded into port 8.
WARNING:

Disconnect the cable from the port 7 and port 8 trunk interfaces while using the test port connector to avoid causing unwanted distortion, noise, and attenuation.

Figure 31. Development Test Port Connector on the AG 2000 Board


Connect the Line out to an amplified speaker and listen to audio. Connect a device, such as a tape player, to TST_IN to record messages or prompts on the system.

The following signals are available on the connector: summation of Trunk 7 and Trunk 8 out, Trunk 8 in, and Gnd.

The output audio amplifier has a 100 Ohm output impedance. It is designed to interface to an amplified speaker. If it is connected to an un-amplified speaker, the audio will have a very low output level.

You can listen to two different digital audio streams simultaneously. The development test port connector has an onboard hardware summing amplifier. If you play audio from one stream to port 8 (stream 1:7) and the audio from another stream to port 7 (stream 1:6), the resulting audio will be summed by the hardware. While this is occurring, audio cannot be recorded in. Therefore, simultaneous play and record is not possible.

A 0.774 VRMS signal coming in on TST_IN will record at a 0 dBm signal into the CODEC. Speech levels should not have peaks exceeding this level. The average speech level should be approximately 0.1 VRMS at TST_IN. The input impedance is 20K ohms.

Figure 32 shows the pin-out and mating connector for the test port connector:

Figure 32. Pin-Out for the Development Test Port Connector


The mating connector is a Molex 50-57-9404. The pin which must also be inserted into the connector is the female pin (Molex 70058).
