The Sirrix.PCI2E1 card intoduces many important highlights like the onboard DSP-based echo cancellation module with conference bridge. The Sirrix.PCI2E1 card provides two E1 ports and 30 B-channels on each port. Some features of Sirrix interface cards: - PCI-Card
- 2 PRI ports
- Ports are independently configurable in NT (clock master) and TE (clock slave) mode
- Programable gate array on board (FPGA)
- Encryption with zero-delay (optional)
- Hardware echo cancellation with conference bridge
- Integrated Sirrix PCM bus
- Channel-driver for Asterisk PBX software
- SIPCAT Ready
OverviewSirrix.PCI2E1 is a PCI-based ISDN interface card. It provides 2 PRI (Primary Rate Interface S2M) ports which can be connected to the public network or PBX systems. Sirrix.PCI2E1 is full ISDN combatible and thus, it can be employed for voice applications as well as for data communications. Hardware StructureThe PRI ports are provided by four Infineon PEF2256H (FALC56) interface circuits. The on board 256Kbyte SRAM can be used for buffering the B-Channel data between hardware and the software application. The communication with the software is realized by a FPGA using the PCI bus. The optionally available crypto mechanisms are realized in hardware and included within the FPGA. They allow a zero-delay encryption and decryption of the B-Channels. PRI Interface LinesEach E1-Port is independently configurable in NT (clock master) and Te (clock slave) mode. Moreover and in all configurations, the Sirrix.PCI2E1 support DDI (Direct Dialing In) and MSNs (Multiple Subscriber Number). Integrated PCM BusUsing the Sirrix.PCM bus, several Sirrix.PCI cards can be linked to build a fully hardware-based ISDN switching network. This provides a zero-delay perfect-quality voice and data transmission. Hardware Echo CancellationThe on board Octasic DSP echo cancellation module performs Voice Quality Enhancement (VQE) functions for up to 64 channels. Conference BridgeThe Sirrix.PCI2E1 includes a hardware conference bridge featuring arbitrarily sized conference rooms with noise reduction and level control. The Sirrix.PCI2E1 card enables an effective communication and a pleasant call experience. Optical Display The activation of the BRI lines are indicated on 4 LEDs. An additional LED indicates the status of the FPGA while another LED free programmable is. ISDN Facilities SupportAlmost all ISDN facilities are supported by Sirrix.PCI2E1. This encloses, e.g., CLIP (Calling Line Identification), CF (Call Forwarding), CW (Call Waiting), Call Hold and Transfer, Advice of Charge (AOC) and AOC During Call (AOCD), etc. These facilities are supported by our comprehensive ISDN stack implementation. They can be used in PBX applications to provide the corresponding facilities. Possible ApplicationsSirrix.PCI2E1 can be used, e.g., with the open-source PBX software Asterisk, for which we provide a channel driver. With Sirrix.PCI2E1, everyone can build flexibel, PC-based PBX systems that allow much more facilities than of-the-shelf PBX. Moreover, Sirrix.PCI2E1 can be used to build ISDN crypto-gateways or Voice-over-IP gateways or least-cost routers. Requirements Sirrix.PCI2E1 card can be operated in an arbitrary PCI-based system with 32 Bit PCI 2.1 and with linux kernel 2.6. We provide a list of compatible hard- and software components.
