FaxChange installation with PRI card Brooktrout TR114

Primary connection realized in combination of Brooktrout TRNIC and TR114 MVIP (this card isn't on the market anymore)

Card with telecommunication interface Brooktrout TR Network Interface Card realized telecommunication layer and supports protocols EuroISDN DSS-1 (ETSI ETS 300 403). For controlling of the basic layer is needed to install Brooktrout Enhanced Call Control 1.7.5 for TR114 with support of Bfv API 4.3. ( required by FaxChange 5.0) in next steps: 

  1. Cards installation into the server

Put the cards into the slots, the best way is to put them side-by-side and connect them through flat 40 streak cable MVIP bus. (cable is included in TR NIC ship box). If there is less than 5 cards on the MVIP bus, then on the TR NIC card (PRI-PCI) has to be the J2 switch in the default setting and the card has to be on one end of the bus (Not Terminating ). The card on the second side of the bus has to be set in Clock Terminating mode (SW1-1 On, SW1-2 On). If there is more than 5 cards on the MVIP bus, you should put the TR NIC card anywhere on the bus. In this case you have to set Clock Terminating to ON on both sides of the bus!

  1. Installation of the Enhenced Call Control

     Run from your install CD \support\FaxChange\Brooktrout_PRI\ECC_1.7.5_TR114\Setup.exe , which will guide you through the NetAccess IRP driver and ECC 1.7.5 API installation.

    !!!! If you have  TRNIC PCI card, then don't fill the choose Configure Netaccess ISA board !!!

    Steps different to Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Family operating system

 

  1. FaxChange installation

Run the classic installation of FaxChange, where during the driver installation of Brooktrout card driver configure only TR 114 MVIP cards !

Do not forget, that every PRI connection should have maximally 30 channels, based on its configuration ( beware, you may configure less than 30, that why you should contact your PBX technician ). total amount of the connection defined in Brooktrout card driver have to correspond to number of channels available in PRI connection.

In case, that operating system is Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Family repair the file %SystemRoot%\bfax\config.sys

ADDRS 264 15

the first number define address and this number change every time to -1

ADDRS -1 15

After the successful install do not restart the server !!!

  1. BTNA service installation

Run the installation from the directory where you install ECC. For FaxChange 5.0, which use Bfv API 4.3 it has to be run from subdirectory \server43 !!! Beware of difference between place of installation and default place of configuration files !!!

F:\Bfax\server\server43>btnasrv -install

Checking for required Services...

RPC installed.

TCP/IP installed.

BTNA Service installed.

1 board(s) found

Installing PCI board, using slot: 0f bus: 00

Enter name and location of the configuration file. [default: c:\bfax\server\btna.cfg] f:\bfax\server\btna.cfg

Enter location of the PRI.0 (isa) or NAII.0 (pci) firmware. [default: c:\bfax\server\] f:\bfax\server\

Enable debug log (y or n, default n): n

To start the service now, run 'net start BtnaService'

We do not recommend activating debug log, because the same effect have manual running on the console: \bfax\server\server43\btnasrv -d2.

Set in Services automatic start of the service. There is no need to run it yet.

  1. Dependency settings

Run from \support\FaxChange\Brooktrout_PRI.REG file the same as your operating system, which sets the dependency on the service FaxChange.LineDrvBT to start the BTNA Service.

  1. Configuration files

configuration is usable for protocol by ETS 300 403 with using CRC4.

If you left the default setting in folder \bfax\server\. Samples are in installation CD infolder \support\FaxChange\Brooktrout_PRI\ECC_1.7.5_TR114\Config_files

  1. Final steps

Connect PRI connector and restart the server. Successful creating of frame synchronization of the PRI connector is signalized by switching on Run LED ( green ) and switching of all yellow LEDs of every channel A and B. It doesn't mean that there can't be a problem.

Correct state of functionality is signalized by writing BTNA service into Event Log with state of every ports, that they are UP.

If there is a state DOWN of some ports, you cannot you PRI connector !!!

set correctly configuration of PBX and TR NIC card. For successful reading configuration of TR NIC card you should restart BTNA service. If you still can't go on you have to use measure equipment to locate the problem.
