Sonus provides replacement units to the Customer, and the Customer performs the installation for these replacement units.
This is the second generation Signal Processing Server (SPS) for SBC 5400 and provides increased signal processing capabilities over the earlier SPS100 card by incorporating the latest DSP technology. It is an add-on module that can connect to SBS100 motherboard through a 150-pin connector.
The DSP2x cards contain the actual DSP processing resources. SBC 5400 has four slots which provides maximum capacity. The cards are hot swappable and installable/replaceable in the field.
The DSP2x module includes a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) that may occasionally require reprogramming. The reprogramming is fully autonomous and occurs during system reboot process. The only noticeable effect to the system is a slight increase to the duration of the system reboot. For each DSP2x installed, expect an additional 1-2 minutes added to the length of a normal reboot process.
Log messages pertaining to FPGA reprogramming are stored in the following files:
sbx_start.log_(timestamp)
file is located in /var/log/sonus/sbx/openclovis
directory. This file contains all logs related to system startup as well as a log of other scripts that call this FPGA reprogramming utility./var/log/messages
file. The ESD Susceptibility symbol warns of the presence of Sonus devices susceptible to electrostatic discharge. Do not handle equipment without wearing a properly grounded ESD wrist strap.
