The older-style ISA boards, on the other hand, must be jumped by hand to I/O addresses
which do not conflict with any other devices in the system. You will then add these
boards manually in the Configuration Wizard and designate the I/O address that is
jumpered on each board. Under most circumstances, you can use the IRQ and shared
memory segment addresses which the Wizard selects, unless you know that they will
conflict with other devices which are in the computer. If you are using ISA devices, you
will usually configure the system’s BIOS so that the IRQ that you are going to use is
marked Legacy/ISA” to prevent it from being assigned to another device. The most
common IRQ selection is 5. You may also have to change a BIOS setting to designate an
area of memory that is to be used for the driver’s shared memory segment, though not all
BIOS’s have a configuration parameter for this purpose. The usual location for this
memory is D000. In the Advanced Parameters section of the Wizard, you should usually
change the driver to address the boards using 16 bits, and mark the driver to start
automatically when the computer is booted. Under normal circumstances, you will not
have to change any of the other settings in this section. You will normally want to elect to
have the Wizard try to start the driver for the first time. If the driver fails to start, then the
Wizard will offer to let you run a Windows diagnostic program so that you can try to
determine what IRQ or I/O address conflict is preventing the driver from starting.
When the software configuration completes, you will be prompted as to whether you
wish to run the Accucall program. Under normal circumstances, you will want to do so.
In the world of analog telephony, most call signaling is performed by various tones that
you hear on the telephone, such as ringing (“ringback”), busy signals, fast busy signals
(“reorder tones”), etc. Your system will typically not function correctly unless you “train”
it to recognize the particular tones generated by your PBX (or central office switch). The
Accucall program is used to learn these tones and store them in a file which is then
automatically loaded by the driver each time it starts. Accucall can be used in an
automatic, “wizard,” mode in which it asks a few questions and then automatically builds
and tests the tone tables, or it can be used in a manual mode. Unless it fails to work
correctly, the “wizard” mode is usually the easiest and fastest way to train the system on
the tones your PBX will generate. Be sure to save the tone set in a file when you
complete using Accucall.
1.2 Installing the Intel/Dialogic Telephony Drivers
As of this writing, the version of the Intel drivers is System Release 5.1.1. The installer
for these drivers is SETUP.EXE in the SR511 directory on the Dialogic Driver CD.
During its installation, an installation wizard will be started which will let you choose the
appropriate Intel drivers to be installed on your computer.
If you have a previous installation of the Intel driver software installed, be sure to stop
those drivers and remove that software before proceeding with the installation, even if it
is the same version of the software. The driver will not usually function correctly
otherwise.
