System Release 6.1 cPCI for Windows Release Guide — May 2006 32
New Features
System Release 6.1 cPCI for Windows supports the following new Global Call features.
These features are new since System Release 6.0 cPCI Feature Pack 1 for Windows.
Note: The Global Call Protocols Package is now integrated with the System Release 6.1 cPCI
for Windows software installation. Previously, this was a separate, installable package.
New Global Call Features for E1/T1 Technology
The Global Call API library provides the following new features that apply to E1/T1 CAS
technology:
Dynamic protocol selection
When using DMT160TEC and DMN160TEC boards, dynamic protocol selection
allows changes on a trunk-by-trunk basis within selected front-end configurations (T1
or E1). For example, if a trunk is configured for E1 at download, a user can change
that trunk to a different variant of the same E1 call control signaling protocol during
runtime, for example, Argentina R2 to Brazil R2. Changes from one E1 call control
signaling protocol to another E1 call control signaling protocol, for example, R2MF to
ISDN or vice-versa are not supported. Changes to/from Clear Channel are also
excluded. Refer to the Global Call E1/T1 CAS/R2 Technology Guide. This feature is
supported on DMT160TEC and DMN160TEC boards only.
Note: The number of channels per trunk must remain the same as originally
configured. This means you cannot dynamically change a span from T1 to E1
or vice-versa. This functionality is only provided at download.
Dynamic line coding and frame selection
Allows dynamic configuration (post download) of the following trunk parameters:
• Line Type (E1 or T1)
• Frame Selection (D4 or ESF when using T1; E1 standard or E1 standard and
CRC-4 when using E1)
This feature is supported on Intel NetStructure
®
DMT160TEC and DMN160TEC
boards only. For further information, see the Global Call E1/T1 CAS/R2 Technology
Guide.

• Korea T1/R2
• Lebanon R2
• Poland R2
• Samsung Lineside E1
• Australia R2
