SYSTEM BUILD-UP
General Description
An existing Ring-Master CB901 system can be expanded by adding one or more STENTOFON AlphaCom E exchanges. The two systems are interconnected via data and audio links. Stations and equipment in both systems will interact as part of the same system. The AlphaCom E IP services can be accessed from the Ring-Master system.
Data
Data are transmitted via one or two serial RS232 links.
- One link (ETP, External Trunk Protocol) is used for station-tostation
calls, Group Call, Call Request and Caller ID.
- An optional link (SIO, Serial Input Output) is used for other
functions like Privacy information and Call Request camp on.
Audio
The audio interconnection between CB901 and AlphaCom E is
analogue.
- There are 6 conversation channels in a 12 pair twisted cable
between each Interlink B board in CB901 and AGA board(s) in
AlphaCom E.
Audio switching control (Duplex)
There is no transfer of switching control signals between the CB901 and
AlphaCom E. The switching will take place individually in the Ring-Master station and in AlphaCom E.
Programming
The CB901-AlphaCom E interface features are programmed by use of:
- SVT for the CB901 part
- AlphaPro and AlphaWeb for the AlphaCom E part and the Ring-Master Daemon
Basic System Features
All internal features in both systems will remain as they are.
The following features will be included in the interface between CB901 and AlphaCom E:
- Station to station calling.
- Display information.
Call number of calling station or station ID
- Simultaneous (global) All-Call and Group-Call.
One global call at the time in the RM /ACE system.
- Call request and queuing from stations in CB901 to master stations(guards) in AlphaCom E.
Calling stations will be camped on in one program distribution channel in CB901.
- Pocket paging.
Automatic pocket paging in both systems. One individual serial ESPA 4.4.4. connection between AlphaCom E and the pager system; and CB901 and the pager system.
The info in the pager display will identify the caller who has to be called back manually.
- Privacy.
Stations in CB901 will be tested for privacy also when called from AlphaCom E. The subscriber board must be modified according to section 6.2
- Remote door opening.
AlphaCom E will generate a DTMF signal when a button is pressed in the AlphaCom station during conversation with the CB901 door station. This signal will be decoded by the remote output board DP997 inside the RM door station and used to activate the magnetic lock.
Software Description
Ring-Master CB901
The ETP (External Trunk Protocol) communication software is included in revisions from TX5.7. The software in the Ring-Master system must be upgraded if the present software revision is TX5.6 or lower.
The upgrade includes changing of E-PROMs on all processor boards. It is not necessary to change the software in the DNC.
If the software revision is lower than TX5.0 (TX4.x or TX3.x) the processor board(s) must be changed.
Connector P2 must be present on the motherboard in board position 19 in order to get power to the serial links of the processor board NFE1683.
Old systems using the first processor boards NFE1515 and NFE1592 does not have connector P2 on the motherboard in position 19. The new processor board NFE1683 can then be installed in position 20 if there are long pins on the back for the PC port connections. If there are no connection pins at the back, the whole cabinet must be changed to type DP979.
Note: If the processor board is plugged into position 20 in an old rack, you must cut out a piece of the cabinet profile in order to get room for the battery RAM on the board.
Note: The same software must be installed in all nodes in a CB901 multistage system.
AlphaCom E
The software must be of revision 10.30 or higher.
This revision includes the following software routines:
- The software module (Daemon) which is linking the CB901 ETP format with the AlphaCom E main software.
- The WEB interface which is used to configure the AlphaCom for communication with CB901 (AlphaWeb)
The AlphaPro software must be of revision 10.28 or higher.
This revision includes the following commands:
- Identification of CB901 stages as nodes in AlphaCom
- Identify the audio links
AlphaWeb Configuration Commands
The Ring-Master Daemon will use a number of tables to maintain the ETP function. These tables will be configurable through the AlphaWeb window.
The following tables are identified:
- Group Call
- Call Request (CAS) to stations in AlphaCom E
- Program channel for call request camp-on in CB901.
- Privacy test of stations in CB901
- RMD system parameters
AlphaWeb System Monitoring and Logging
The AlphaCom E can monitor and log real-time events. This can be
viewed in the AlphaWeb.
Ring-Master Daemon System log
The Ring-Master Daemon (RMD) will report the following to the syslog server:
- RMD Up/Down
- AlphaNet Connected/Disconnected
- Serial Port Up/Down
Ring-Master Daemon System Monitoring
The Ring-Master Daemon will report the following to the syslog server:
- AGA/ETP trunks Up/Down
- AGA Trunk allocation failed (no more audio links available)
- Unknown/Erroneous commands from the Ring-Master system
Programming
Individual programming will be carried out in each system by using a locally connected data terminal (PC or laptop).
One system can not be programmed from the other system.
Number plan
- The call number in AlphaCom E must have 4 digits in order to call from CB901 to AlphaCom E. This is limited by the ETP format.
- The number of call digits in AlphaCom E is 2 - 5. Only 4-digit numbers can be reached from the RM side.
- The maximum number of call digits in CB901 is 6. All digits from 2 to 6 can be reached from both sides.

to the AlphaCom E terminals. Make a coding table for connection on both sides.
Or
- Connect the 20-pair cable from the EMC CB901 approved cabinet to the AlphaCom E terminals. See table in section 3.3.7 for wire pair color coding
- The a and b wires are audio FROM AlphaCom E
- The c and d wires are audio TO AlphaCom E
These lines are balanced; the twisted pairs may be connected either
way.
Audio links, AlphaCom E7
Even if the AGA board can be placed in any subscriber board position, it is good practice to choose slot no. 6 (line no. 31-36).
The audio connection to CB901 is made by six 4-way plug-on screw
terminals, one link per terminal.
AlphaCom E20 and E26
Use the same filter board with cable and connection board as the ASLT Subscriber Board.
The connection board has six 4-way push-on terminals marked 1-6 corresponding to the link numbers.
PROGRAMMING
The programming procedures in this chapter will only concentrate on the procedures concerning the interface between Ring-Master CB901 and AlphaCom E. Further instructions are found in the system programming manuals.
Purpose of programming
Individual programming will be carried out in each system via a locally connected data terminal (laptop).
- Note: One system cannot be programmed from the other.
- Set the data of the serial port used for CB901
- Identify the 6 hex positions where the NFE1545 board is connected
- Identify the CB901 stage(s) where the interlink NFE1545 board(s) is(are) installed
- Specify the communication via the SIO port in CB901
- Remote dialing for connection of privacy test station positions
- Remote dialing for cancelling the privacy test connection
- Remote dialing for call request camp-on to a program channel in CB901.
- Remote dialing for program channel cancelling
- Receive event for privacy time-out
- Receive event for call button press (8 digit for identification of pager call)
- Set the data of the serial port used for AlphaCom
- Program the feature code for access to the numbers in AlphaCom E. If the feature code is one digit (F), then a call to a number (AAA) in
AlphaCom E will be F A A A - Select the four numbers used for privacy test
Programming CB901
- Connect a PC to the D-sub in front of the RM CPU board NFE1683 via a crossed 3-wire D-sub cable.
- Define the PC as a hyperterminal, Baud rate = 9600/8/n/1
- Log in to the CB901 central by using the super-user command
hPsaB
The super-user status is needed to adjust the two test timers later on in the process.
Ring-Master Configuration Commands
The CB901 system must be configured before the ETP feature can be executed. The configuration process is carried out through a number of SVT commands. See the SVT manual for details.
- Start by un-define the line equipment positions where the ETP trunks will be connected. This is done with the SLEU command:
SLEU F8-FD
- Continue to define which line equipment positions to be allocated as ETP trunk positions. This is done with the SETP command:
SETP 1 F8 <stage no> SETP 2 F9 <stage no> SETP 3 FA <stage no> SETP 4 FB <stage no> SETP 5 FC <stage no> SETP 6 FD <stage no>
SETP 1 F( <stage no> SETP 2 F9 <stage no> SETP 3 FA <stage no> SETP 4 FB <stage no> SETP 5 FC <stage no> SETP 6 FD <stage no>
- Define which first digit(s) to be used as ETP call number(s). This is done via the two commands, SCDU and SFC.
In this example 7 is used as first digit in the call numbers in AlphaCom E (ETP). - Un-define 7 as first call digit for normal calls:
SCDU 7
- Define 7 as feature code for ETP. The feature ID numbers reserved for ETP are from 81 until 89.
In this example we will only define ETP call digit for feature ID 87:
SFC 87 7
(87 is selected just to make it easier to remember the call number 7).
The call number series starting with 7 as first digit has been programmed to be associated with the ETP trunks.
All numbers starting with 7 will now be in the AlphaCom E. The call numbers must have a total of 4 digits (7xxx).
- Define which of the Ring-Master call numbers shall be able to make ETP calls (calls into the AlphaCom E system). Use the SFA command to give access to dial feature code 7 (feature ID 87):
SFA 1000-1999 87 +
All station in the range of 1000-1999 can call in the example above.
Refer to the SVT programming manual for general configuration of the Ring-Master CB901 system.
Privacy test call numbers SIO
This position (call number) will be used by AlphaCom E to call the stations in CB901. This must be programmed with privilege no.20, ‘Remote dial receive’.
The remote dialing in CB901 via the SIO port is automatically controlled by the RM Daemon in AlphaCom E.
The disconnect event must programmed for both the SIO number C (A side, event 12) and the called number D (B side, event 64). Please see Privacy Test explanation in section RMD Privacy links and Subscriber board modification in Subscriber boards.
SPT20 +
( 20 is ‘Remote dial receive’ )
SSE12,64 +
- These events must now be programmed into all RM stages by the command Set Status Output:
SSO <event no.12> <stage no.> <output to PC port><stage where the PC port is used><stop>
