The next step in configuring your fax board is to launch the DCM utility.

There are two ways to launch the DCM:

• Click the DCM Utility button located on the Main configuration tab of the Dialogic GDK Configuration window.
• Select the Dialogic Configuration Manager - DCM option from the Dialogic System Software program group, which is found on the Programs menu located on the Windows Start bar.

Board detection is performed automatically when you start the DCM utility to determine what type of board is installed in the system and to set the network interface parameters.

3.2.1. CPi/2400CT-T1 Board Detection

When the CPi/2400CT-T1 board is detected, you are prompted to select a .pcd file.

Figure 23. Assign Firmware File Window

NOTE:

Ignore the .pcd files that do not start with gdk.

Select the .pcd file that matches your phone company's description of your telephony network interface. If you are not sure of the line protocol, contact your phone company to obtain the protocol information. The following tables indicate which protocols are appropriate for the supported .pcd files.

Table 1. ISDN T1 Protocols

PROTOCOL	PCD FILE
4ESS	gdk_isdn_4ess.pcd
5ESS	gdk_isdn_5ess.pcd
DMS	gdk_isdn_dms.pcd
NTT	gdk_isdn_ntt.pcd

Table 2. T1 CAS (Robbed-Bit Signaling) Protocols

PROTOCOL	PCD FILE
CAS T1 E&M	gdk_t1_em.pcd
CAS T1 Loop Start	gdk_t1_ls.pcd
CAS T1 Ground Start	gdk_t1_gs.pcd

Once the detection is complete, the DCM window shows the detected board:

NOTE:

This screen is typical for the configuration described as "DM3 boards with on-board network interfaces" in ISDN T1 or CAS T1 mode.

3.2.2. CPi/3000CT-E1 Board Detection

When the CPi/3000CT-E1 board is detected, you are prompted to select a .pcd file.

Figure 25. Assign Firmware File Window

NOTE:

Ignore the pcd files that do not start with gdk.

Select the .pcd file that matches your phone company's description of your telephony network interface. If you are not sure of the line protocol, contact your phone company to obtain the protocol information. The following table indicates which protocol is appropriate for the supported .pcd file.

Table 3. ISDN E1 Protocols

PROTOCOL	PCD FILE
CTR4	gdk_isdn_net5.pcd

Once the detection is complete, the DCM window shows the detected board:

NOTE:

This screen is typical for the configuration described as "DM3 boards with on-board network interfaces" in ISDN E1 mode.

3.2.3. CPi/2400CT Board Detection

When the CPi/2400CT board is detected, you are normally not prompted to select a .pcd file. The fax24.pcd file is automatically selected for you. Depending on the hardware configuration, other boards may be displayed (such as the DTI/240SC as shown in Figure 27).

NOTE:

This screen is typical for the configuration described as "DM3 resource boards with DTI network interfaces in transparent ISDN mode" in ISDN T1 mode.

3.2.4. CPi/3000CT Board Detection

When the CPi/3000CT board is detected, you are normally not prompted to select a .pcd file. The fax30.pcd file is automatically selected for you. Depending on the hardware configuration, other boards may be displayed (such as the DTI/300SC as shown in Figure 28).

NOTE:

This screen is typical for the configuration described as "DM3 resource boards with DTI network interfaces in transparent ISDN mode" in ISDN E1 mode.

3.2.5. BRI/2VFD Board Detection

The BRI/2VFD board is automatically detected and appears in the DCM Configuration Manager window. Depending on the hardware configuration, other boards may be displayed.

Figure 29. DCM Showing BRI/2VFD

3.2.6. DTI/240SC Board Detection

The DTI/240SC board is automatically detected and appears in the DCM Configuration Manager window. Depending on the hardware configuration, other boards may be displayed.

3.2.7. DTI/300SC Board Detection

The DTI/300SC board is automatically detected and appears in the DCM Configuration Manager window. Depending on the hardware configuration, other boards may be displayed.

3.2.8. CP Board Detection

The CP boards are not detected via the DCM utility. Therefore, they will not appear here.

NOTE:

If your configuration uses CP cards with an on-board line interface (and depending on the components selected at installation time), it is possible that the DCM utility is not installed on your system. Therefore, attempting to invoke the DCM utility fails.

3.2.9. Other Resource and Network Interface Board Detection

If you are using CP6/SC, CP12/SC, CPi/2400CT or CPi/3000CT boards, it is likely that other resource boards (such as voice, text-to-speech,...) and network interfaces will be installed in your system.
