Overview
This document explains how to install or replace Aculab Prosody X PCI Express E1/T1 High
Capacity Digital Access telephony interface cards, referred to as a Prosody X PCIe linecard, in a
OneBox Call Server platform. The information in this document pertains to platforms running
OneBox version 5.0 SP3 and later.
The Aculab Prosody X PCIe linecard is a full media TDM telephony linecard with on-board DSP
that provides call and signaling control of an E1 or T1 telephony interface. It supports a wide
range of signaling protocols including: DPNSS, CAS, and Q.sig. The Prosody X PCIe E1/T1
linecard is used to integrate OneBox with a telephone system using one of these supported
signaling protocols.
Aastra recommends that you read this document in its entirety before beginning the installation
process.
NOTE The information in this document applies to Aculab Prosody X PCI Express, also referred

Before You Begin
Review this section before performing any of the procedures in this document. This section
provides important information about electrostatic discharge and the tools and equipment
required to complete the installation.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning
Computer components are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). You must wear
an anti-static wrist strap and install the linecard at an ESD-safe workstation. Do not open the
static-protective container until necessary. Before removing the linecard from the static-
protective container, touch the container to a grounded, unpainted metal surface for at least two
seconds (this drains the static electricity from the container and from your body). Turn off and
unplug your computer before removing the case.
Gathering Tools and Equipment
Before you begin disassembling the OneBox platform, verify that you have the following
required tools and equipment:
OneBox Telephony Server DVD
One or more Aculab Prosody X PCIe linecards
CTbus cable to connect multiple linecards
One high impedance (120-Ohm) PBX line interface cable with an RJ-45 for each
Prosody X PCIe linecard you are installing. If you are using a 75Ω BNC connection to
the telephone system, you must use a BNC/RJ45 adapter.
