Conflicts and their resolution

Numbering of the physical and logical ports

The following tables show numbering of physical and logical ports (modules) used by Abilis in its three standard configurations:

Data application, ISDN S₀-TE "only data" interface.
Data and voice applications through ISDN, ISDN S₀-TE "only data" interfaces and EBIB/EPIB systems.
Data and voice applications through analogue interfaces, ISDN S₀-TE "only data" interfaces and ACB systems

To check which one of the three configuration is actually in use, it is enough to display the software version trough the following procedures:

Front panel commands.
Command "D I" sent to the control port (CP).
Command "D I" executed by Independent configuration.

The acronym that follows the version, identifies the configuration in use, for example:

3.8.0 : "only data" configuration, no EBIB/EBIP or ACB systems.
3.8.0/E : configuration of digital voice and data with EBIB/EPIB system, without ACB systems.
3.8.0/V : configuration of analogue voice and data with ACB systems, without EBIB/EPIB systems.
3.8.0/VE : configuration of analogue voice, digital voice and data, with ACB and EBIB/EPIB systems.

Conflicts and their resolution

There are three kind of conflicts:

Interrupt conflicts (IRQ)
Base address conflicts
Conflicts generated by overlapping of addressing areas

By comparing the previous tables it is quite easy to avoid conflicts among the adapters.

Before saving any change made on the software configuration, the system will verify it, so that bad configuration cannot be saved and useful information about the detected conflicts are shown.

Address and IRQ configuration of ISA adapters can be done using the command S CARD, in such a way it can match real adapter configuration and if necessary help solving the most difficult adapters conflicts.
