NOTE  
Danger of damage to property due to surge voltage. The required lightning protection measures must be taken for this board, see Section 2.1.2 "Lightning Protection".  

Introduction  
For V1.0 and later, TMCAS (Trunk Module Channel Associated Signaling) boards can be used in HiPath 3550 to support the country-specific CAS protocol.
The board converts the Euro-ISDN protocol on an S2M link into the Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) protocol. The board functions only in connection with a TS2N (HiPath 3550). There is no direct connection between the TMCAS board and the system's central control unit. The TMS2/TS2N handles all signaling and data traffic.

Administration of the CAS protocol converter  
Use the ECGM tool for administration. For information on installing the software on the service PC and on the required settings, see Seite 3-302.
You can use the C39195-Z7267-C13 cable for the connection between jack X10 and the service PC.

Switches S4-1 to S4-4 for setting the impedance  
To ensure that the TMCAS works properly, the same impedance must be selected both on the S2M side of the TMCAS and on the TS2N (HiPath 3550) board.

Flash memory: only for laboratory purposes (the flash memory is erased when switch is set to "On").  
 S4-7  
 Reserved  
 S4-8  
Battery: Select the "On" switch position to make the connection to the processor's real-time clock only after the protocol converter has been configured.  

Jumpers S2 and S3 for GND connection  
You can set the GND connection (signal ground) of the receiving (Rx) and transmitting (Tx) lines on the CAS side here.

 GND connection  
 Jumper setting  
no signal ground (default)  
 S2 = 1 - 2, S3 = 1 - 2  
signal ground on receive lines (Rx) on the CAS side  
 S2 = 2 - 3  
signal ground on the transmit lines (Tx) on the CAS side  
 S3 = 2 - 3  
Recommendations for the GND connection:
 •   symmetrical line (120 ohms)
Ground the cable's shield on the side of the connected device (NT, MUX, modem).
 •   coaxial line (75 ohms)
Do not ground the shield on both ends of the cable.
   -   Tx: Ground the cable's shield on the TMCAS side.
   -   Rx: Ground the cable's shield on the side of the connected device (NT, MUX, modem).

Procedure for retrofitting a TMCAS board  

 Step  
 Activity  
 1.  
Disconnect system from power supply and open system.  
 2.  
Insert TS2N (HiPath 3550).  
 3.  
HiPath 3550 (wall housing): Insert TMCAS in slot 10.  
 4.  
Plug in TMS2/TS2N-TMCAS connection cable.  
 5.  
Connect the NT to the system using the TMCAS cable.  
 6.  
Close the system and connect it to the power supply.  
 7.  
After the system has booted, both boards are entered in the system's database (TMS2 or TS2N and TMCAS).  
 8.  
If necessary, configure with HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E.  
Possible problems:  
 •   TMCAS not entered in HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E
The TMCAS is displayed automatically after the generation/regeneration of the database in a system with a correctly inserted and connected TMCAS-TMS2/TS2N combination.
 •   Missing electrical connection between TMS2/TS2N and TMCAS
No TMCAS entry in the database. If a correctly configured database (with TMCAS inserted offline) is then loaded into the system using generation/regeneration, the TMCAS configured in HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E appears only in the SW configuration.
 •   Incompatible board configuration
There is a correctly inserted TMCAS-TMS2/TS2N combination in the system. If there is a different board entered in HiPath 3000/5000 Manager E in the HiPath 3550's large slot, the generation is rejected.

Installing the ECGM tool and configuring the CAS protocol converter  
This section describes how to install the ECGM tool on the service PC and configure the CAS protocol converter on the TMCAS board.
The ECGM tool supports the following actions:
 •   Extender, database and software download
 •   CAS protocol configuration
 •   Database programming
 •   Trace options
Procedure

 Step  
 Activity  
 1.  
Create directory c:\ecginst on the service PC.  
 2.  
Set up the connection to the download server (for information on this, contact your local ITSC) and copy the following files into the directory c:\ecginst:  
 •   e1v0xx.exe (for example, e140ah.exe)
 •   Ee1v0yy.exe (for example, Ee140am.exe)
 •   Ecgm_vzz.exe (for example Ecgm_4aa.exe)
Explanation of the variables:  
 •   v = software version
 •   xx = country version of a file
 •   yy = file version for channels
 •   zz = file version for maintenance
 3.  
Run .exe files. This will extract the following files, for example:  
 •   Ecgm.cab (WinZip file)
 •   Setup.lst (LST file)
 •   Setup.exe (EXE file)
 •   4brazil.iam (IAM file)
 •   Ecg_edb4.ein (EIN file)
 •   4brazil.eam (EAM file)
 •   E140ah.sin (SIN file)
 •   E140ah.pnm (PNM file)
 •   X140pai.pnm (PNM file)
 •   X130aq.pnm (PNM file)
 4.  
Execute Setup.exe file. This will create the directory ecgm and extract various files.  
 5.  
Copy vbrazil.iyy (for example, 4brazil.iam) to the directory ecgm.  
 6.  
Run the file ecgm.exe.  
 7.  
Make the following settings in the ECGM tool:  
 •   File/Options menu: Select the service PC's COM interface (for example: COM1)
 •   File/Install Software menu: Select the file E1v0xx.pnm (for example, E140ah.pnm from the directory ecginst.
 •   File/Install Edb menu: Select the file Ecg_edbv.ein (for example Ecg_edb4.ein) from the directory ecginst.
 •   File/Update Site menu:
   -   Under ECG SOFTWARE, select loadware file E1v0xx.pnm.
   -   Under "ECG EDB", select file vbrazil.iyy.
   -   Under "FILE NAME", select file extension .db for logging TMCAS events.
   -   Enter the customer name under "ECG NAME".
 8.  
Close the ECGM tool and then restart (ecgm.exe).  
 9.  
Enter the COM interface under "COMM" and the customer name in the Settings/ECG Name menu. All other windows are updated automatically.  
 10.  
Channel configuration  
Define the channel parameters in the View/Database menu (reserve unused channels with "Out of Service".):  
 •   Protocol
 •   Signaling method (incoming and outgoing)
 •   Clock master (always central office)
 •   Operator number (corresponds to the number of the attendant console of the HiPath 3000)
 11.  
Software download  
If the seven-segment display H1 on the TMCAS displays "H", it is necessary to download the extender software (Download/Extender menu). Otherwise, continue with the next step.  
 12.  
Start the software/database download using the Download/Software and Database menu. This procedure takes approximately 8 minutes.  
The download is complete when the configured channels display the "Idle" status.  
The seven-segment display H1 on the TMCAS shows "A" (= active).
