Installing Dialogic Boards (WinNT/W2K/WinXP)
Intel Dialogic System Release 5.1.1
NOTE: The Intel Dialogic product line has been sold to Eicon (now
renamed Dialogic Corporation). Product information is being
transitioned from Intel to Dialogic web sites. Some links to Intel
included on this page may no longer be available.
Fortunately the Dialogic boards and drivers are dependable (although a
bit picky about certain event sequences and timing). Unfortunately the documentation for installing them is unclear. For
this reason we are supplying this document to aid in their installation
and configuration. This document will help you configure your
Dialogic board for use with Microsoft’s Telephony Application
Programming Interface (TAPI) and ExceleTel TeleTools. You
should still follow the instructions supplied with your Dialogic board.
This document will help to guide you through that mountain of information.
For use with TAPI and TeleTools it is advisable to use Dialogic
System Release 5.1.1 with Service Pack 1. Click
here to find drivers and service packs for Windows on the
Intel / Dialogic support web site.
At the time this document was prepared Dialogic System Release Version
5.1.1 was available. Click
here to find drivers, service packs, and documentation for System
Release 5.1.1. If you are using digital boards (T1, etc.) you will also need the Global Call Protocols Package
which you can find by clicking
here.
NOTE: This install will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours!
Be sure to install the Dialogic TAPI drivers and the Dialogic sample
programs. The Dialogic sample programs are handy for making sure that the
drivers and the board are working properly. It is important to know that
"Talker32.exe" is the only Dialogic sample program that uses
TAPI. All other Dialogic sample programs work directly with the Dialogic
low level drivers and their proprietary API.
As of March 4, 2003 Intel / Dialogic is now
providing support for installing on Windows XP. According to Intel /
Dialogic, this requires System Release 5.1.1 Feature Pack 1 (FP1) for
Windows. However, ExceleTel can normally help customers get Dialogic
boards running on both Windows XP and Windows 2003 without FP1 or
SR6. Please contact us to set up a support incident.

There are several procedures that you will need to follow:
- Installing the Dialogic Hardware
- Installing the Dialogic Software
- Configuring the Dialogic Drivers
- Installing Service Pack 1
- Setting the flag in the first Software install for GlobalCall
- Actually Installing GlobalCall (only used for digital cards)
- Configuring GlobalCall for T1 (only used for digital cards)
- Configuring the Dialogic TSP
- Installing the Dialogic TAPI Wave Driver
You will need to have ready (Click on the links to get the download):
You will need to perform these procedures in order!
Installing the Dialogic Hardware
When using an ISA board (or board with jumpers):
- Identify a free IRQ.
- Set the IRQ jumpers/dip switches on the Dialogic board.
- Set the Address jumpers/dip switches on the Dialogic board. The default will usually work.
- Shut down Windows.
- Turn off the computer.
- Install the board into the computer.
- Turn on the computer.
- Reserve the IRQ for ISA in the
System BIOS.
When using an PCI board (or board with NO jumpers):
- Shut down Windows.
- Turn off the computer.
- Install the board into the computer.
- Turn on the computer.
- These devices are NOT PnP, so don't look for the Device Wizard to
pop up.
Installing the Dialogic Software
- Run "Setup.exe" from the Dialogic System Release CD or
download.
- Select the "Custom" option
- Select "GlobalCall" (This will set the software to use
GlobalCall but does not install all of the GlobalCall software.
If you are using digital cards you must also install GlobalCall separately below. Yes,
it's confusing, we didn't write the install, just this help file to
try to get you through it :) )
- For Analog cards for each of the next two dialog boxes,
select no options
- For digital cards (i.e. T1, E1) Consult the Dialogic
documentation for the correct options for your installation. Our
tests use T1 robbed bit as it does not appear that PRI supports TAPI.
If you will be using the SC Bus to connect multiple cards together
then you will need to select the SCx option also.
- Complete the installation
- Reboot
Configuring the Dialogic Drivers
Near the end of the Dialogic software installation you are offered an
option to run the "Dialogic Board Configuration" or you can run
it from the Windows Start menu. This program is also known as
"Dialogic Configuration Manager (DCM)". We recommend that
you restart
the computer now and then run DCM as your next step from the Start
Menu. The first time you run DCM, you may see a "computer
name" dialog box. Select "local" and hit the
"connect" button. Once DCM is up:
When using an ISA board (or board with jumpers):
- Select the menu option "Action | Add Device"
- Select your Dialogic board
- Set the Address and IRQ to match the setting on the hardware.
See "Installing the Dialogic Hardware"
- Select the menu option "Service | Startup Mode |
Automatic"
- Close Dialogic Configuration Manager
- Reboot the computer.
When using a PCI board (or board with NO jumpers):
- The Dialogic board should automatically be detected and be on your
screen
- Select the menu option "Service | Startup Mode |
Automatic"
- Close Dialogic Configuration Manager
- Reboot the computer.
There are possible problems at this point of the install. When the Dialogic Configuration Manager tries to
communicate with the board, you may not see it in the device
list. These are the things to check if it fails to recognize
and list your card:
- ACPI settings should be turned OFF in your BIOS.
- PnP OS should be set to OFF
- You do NOT have a hotswap PCI board. The card may not work in
such motherboards. They usually have plastic dividers between
the slots to keep the cards from touching when you pull them in and
out.
Check Your Work!
- Run one of the Dialogic Sample Programs to verify that the board is
installed properly. You can find the "multithreaded voice"
program, choose file | open and you will see your lines. You can
open one, then go into one of the other menus to test a function such
as "dial".
Installing Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Installing GlobalCall (Only if using digital
cards)
NOTE: Checking GlobalCall in the main software setup above just selects
the option to use GlobalCall. Both of these steps are
important. You must also run the separate GlobalCall intallation software
available here.
- Unzip the GlobalCall file to a subdirectory on your disk
- Go to the windows/386 directory and run Setup
- Click on Custom
- Select your location. In the US that would be North American
protocols.
- Also select online documentation
- Select All protocols (US and Mexico)
- Click OK on through
- Restart again
Configure GlobalCall (Only if using digital
cards)
- Use Notepad to edit "ProgramFiles\Dialogic\Cfg\icapi.cfg"
- Edit the line for parameter $14 to look like this:
- $14 Disable DTI Wait call function ( 1=YES, 0=NO ) : 1
- You may also edit parameter $11 and change the "0" to a
"1" to enable debug logging. But remember to turn it
off when you get things working!
- Save and close
For Wink Start:
- Use Notepad to edit "Program Files\Dialogic\data\SPANDTI.PRM"
- Find the line with the string ";000C", remove the
semicolon and change it to be "000C 30"
- Go to the end of the file and append the following 2 lines:
0014 01 ; ESF framing
0020 01 ; B8ZS
- Save and close
- Open the Dialogic Configuration Manager (DCM) and stop services if
they are running
- Select the board you wish to configure and repeat for all boards
- Select the "misc" panel
- Click on ParametersFile
- Under the value, enter "spandti.prm"
Configuring the Dialogic TSP
Windows 2000
- Bring up the Windows Control Panel
- Select "Phone and Modem Options"
- Click the "Advanced" tab
- Click "Add"
- Select "Dialogic Generation 2 Service Provider for NT" (If
you don't see this as a selection, then you did not select the "GlobalCall"
option during installation. You must run setup again and check this
box while leaving all the others now unchecked. If you are using
digital cards you will also need to run the
separate GlobalCall installation listed above.)
- Click on the "Advanced" button causing the
"Configuration Service" dialog box to appear
- Click on the "Call Parameters" tab.
- Change the "Configuration" from "Default" to
"Custom".
- Set the "Ringback Timeout" to 700

US, select "us_mf_io", which stands for US
multi-frequency input/output. Click "set" then
"save". You may need to adjust parameters in your
protocol file to match different signaling bits and wink times used by
your T1 line. For example, one client reported that they were
winking on ABCD and needed a 230ms wink time.
- Press OK twice or until you save your changes and get back to the
Phone and Modem options
- Close Phone and Modem Options
- Reboot the computer.
