tions. Of the three (3) internal connectors, two directly mate
with the Audio System Board. These two 96-pin rectangular
DIN-type connectors carry all audio and control signals
between the Audio System Board and the I/O Backplane
Board's externally exposed connectors. The remaining inter-
nal connector provides the dc input connection from the
power supply located under the Audio System Board. As
previously described, the I/O Backplane Board distributes
this dc power to the Audio System Board via DIN intercon-
nections and to the four (4) DB-9 speaker connectors on the
rear panel. See LBI-39102 which is included with this man-
ual set for I/O Backplane Board connector pin-out details.
Audio System Board
The Audio System Board is the heart of the Enhanced
Audio Enclosure. It accommodates all audio and logical
processing circuitry. Major circuits and functions:
•
Audio Input Circuits
—These circuits provide
amplification, filtering and level-adjustment for all
audio signals applied to the Enhanced Audio
Enclosure's audio inputs. Input signals include mic
audio signals, balanced-line audio signals from the
CEC/IMC, balance-line audio signals from Call
Director equipment, and audio signals from
optional audio output devices such as an external
paging tone encoder (pager).
•
Audio Switching Matrix Circuits
—The audio
switching matrix routes conditioned (amplified,
filtered, level-adjusted) input audio signals to the
appropriate audio output circuits using ten (10)
8 x 8 cross-point switch matrix integrated circuits.
All console audio signals are routed through the
matrix chips. Input audio signals are applied to the
"y" side of the matrix and output signals are sent
out from the "x" side. The audio matrix chips are
controlled (switched) via digital logic signals from
the on-board microcontroller circuits.
•
Audio Output Circuits
—Prior to application to
the appropriate Enhanced Audio Enclosure output,
each audio signal on the output side of the audio
matrix (a switched-in signal) is applied to an audio
output circuit. Each audio output circuit provides
amplification/attenuation, impedance matching
and/or level-adjustment in the output path. Output
paths include headset earphone audio, low-power
speaker audio ("select" and "unselect" audio),
balanced-line audio signals to the CEC/IMC,
balance-line audio signals to Call Director
equipment (optional), and single-ended audio
signals to call-check recorders (optional).
•
Microcontroller Circuits
—80C32-based micro-
controller circuits on the Audio System Board
control and process all logical data signals to and
from the Audio System Board's I/O logic circuits.
These circuits include (non-inclusive listing) the
audio switching matrix, several serial ports, bi-state
logical inputs, and bi-state logical outputs. The
microcontroller circuits also read the on-board
analog-to-digital converter circuits used for
volume-unit (VU) meter indications and they con-
trol the tone generation circuits.
•
PC Serial Port Circuit
—An RS-232 serial port
for control data communication with the PC.
•
Dispatch Keyboard Serial Port Circuit
—This
serial port receives keystroke data from the
dispatch keyboard. Operating power for the
keyboard’s internal logic circuits is also delivered
to the keyboard via this serial port.
•
Expansion Serial Port Circuit
—An RS-422 serial
port which permits interfacing to external serially-
interfaced equipment. (Reserved for future use.)
•
Bi-State Logic Input Circuits
—These circuits
interface bi-state logical sense lines from external
equipment connected to the Enhanced Audio
Enclosure to the Audio System Board's
microcontroller circuits. Examples include
microphone PTT sense lines, microphone
connected/not connected sense lines, headset
connected/not connected sense lines, and Call
Director off hook and Call Director jack sense
lines. Each logic input line includes a pull-up
resistor and a low-pass filter circuit.
•
Bi-State Logic Output Circuits
—These circuits
interface the microcontroller circuits to bi-state
logical output devices such as relay contacts. The
Audio System Board has a total of seven (7) on-
board relays.
•
Analog-to-Digital Converter Circuit
—The ana-
log-to-digital (A/D) converter circuit's primary
function is to provide VU (Volume-Unit) data to
the PC on the selected module/entity transmit and
receive signal levels. The microcontroller reads the
A/D converter and it sends the read data to the PC
via the serial control data link. VU indications are
displayed in the console GUI’s VU meter panel in a
bar graph format. The A/D converter circuit is also
utilized during automated test and alignment
procedures.
•
Tone Generation Circuits
—Tone generation
circuits on the Audio System Board include two (2)
sinewave generators which give the Enhanced
Audio Enclosure the ability to generate tones for
integrated paging operations. Therefore, an external
