Status description
When the indicator lights, it indicates that the board is reset or faulty Flashing period for loading program: 0.25 second Flashing period for normal running of the active board: 2 seconds Flashing period for normal running of the standby board: 4 seconds When the board is plugged into a frame, if the blue indicator lights, it means that the board has contacted the backplane and the ejector lever on the front panel can be pressed down to make the board fully inserted into the backplane. While pulling the board out, pull the ejector lever on the front panel. When the blue indicator lights, it is allowed to pull the board out.

Board Function Summary

Functions the main control board of a frame. Provides program loading and control for all devices in the SMUI Is system, data configuration and working status control functions. SIUI SIUI board is the back board of SMUI. It provides the Ethernet interface for the back wiring of SMUI. IFMI is used to receive and transmit IP packets, process Media Access Control (MAC) layer IFMI The messages, distribute IP messages and provide IP interfaces together with the BFII. is the back interface board of the IFMI. It is used to implement FE driver processing and enable BFII BFII the external physical interface of the IFMI. bridge connection of left shared resource bus with right one, board hot swap control and HSCI provides intra-frame Ethernet bus exchange. Fixed Calling Control Unit (FCCU) implements call control, processes protocols, generates and FCCU The stores bills in its bill pool. the database of the equipment, the CDBI stores all data of the following aspects: CDBI As call location, gateway resources management, outgoing trunk circuit selection. is used to process the IP packets after the IFMI level-1 dispatch. It implements the following BSGI BSGI protocols: UDP, SCTP, M2UA, M3UAV5UA, IUA, MGCP, H.248. Multimedia Signaling Gateway Unit (MSGI) processes the following protocols: UDP, TCP, H.323 MSGI The (including H.323 RAS and H.323 Call Signaling), SIP. MRCA processes the audio signals in real time. It collects and generates DTMF signals, plays MRCA The and records audio clips and provides multi-party conference function. Media Resource Interface Unit (MRIA) is the back board of the MRCA, providing 10/100-Mbps MRIA The interface for the external media streams. is the monitoring board, inserted in slot 16 of the service frame. It indicates the system status ALUI ALUI and reports the alarm information obtained by other means. power boards, including front and back boards, providing power supply to all the boards in the UPWR The frame. Each power board occupies two slots. The power boards work in 2 + 2 backup mode. Board
