1-2 IMACS System Release 5.1.6 Server Cards
Model No. Running Head ADPCM Card Descriptions ADPCM Card
The ADPCM 64 Card can transport low-speed asynchronous data transmission (19.2 kbps or
less) from an SRU user card port that will occupy a 24 kbps engine. Each data circuit must be
paired with a 40 kbps voice channel. The card can also compress B-channel voice traffic from
a BRI card without restricting compression rates.
The Integrated Access System can have up to three ADPCM 64 Cards (two normal cards and
an identical redundant card).
The ADPCM 64 Card supports Transition Signaling as defined in ANSI T1.302-1989, with
the exception of the Alarm bits. ANSI T1.302 specifies signaling at the 32 bps compression
rate. The card uses this scheme for 24 bps and 40 bps, even though those rates are not included
in the standard. Table 1-1 summarizes the signals supported by each transcoder data rate. Your
DS0 time slot configuration must adhere to these specifications.

1.2.1.1 Card Jumper/Switch Settings
The ADPCM 64 Card does not have any jumpers or switches on its motherboard.
1.2.1.2 Installing the ADPCM Card
Insert the ADPCM card into one of the server card chassis slots (P1 to P3). The system can
accommodate up to three server cards.
