#### Extension line boards

##### Analogue extension board, ELU-A

Connects analogue DTMF or rotary dial telephones and has 4 DTMF receivers on board. This board is available with 8 or 16 extensions. The ELU-A/2 provides reverse line polarity for telephones with a message waiting lamp.

##### Digital extension board, ELU-D3

Connects digital system telephones DBC 2xx. This board is available for 8, 16 or 32 extensions.

#### Trunk line and tie-line boards

##### Analogue trunk board, BTU-A

Board to connect analogue trunk lines. For defined markets the board can also be used for DID. In the event of power failure, 1 to 4 of the trunks (market- dependent) can be through-connected to analogue telephone extensions. This board is available with 4 or 8 trunk lines.

##### Analogue trunk board, BTU-A2

Board for eight analogue lines to the Austrian public exchange. Each analogue line is equipped with a detector for DID and call metering. In the event of power failure, 2 of the trunks can be through-connected to analogue extensions. This board is available with 4 or 8 trunk lines.

##### Digital trunk board, BTU-B2

Board for ISDN Basic Access providing digital connection in the 2B+D format to a public exchange or to a private network as well as subscriber interfaces to S-bus terminals. This board is available with 4 or 8 trunk/extension lines.

##### Analogue trunk board, BTU-C

Board for eight analogue lines to the public exchange. These lines can be used either as eight incoming trunks for in-dialling only, or four of them can also be used as bothway trunks without DID. In the event of a power failure one of the four bothway trunks can be through-connected to an analogue extension.

##### Analogue tie line board, BTU-C2

Board for four analogue lines connected as a tie-line board with 4 individuals for DC-loop signalling.

##### Digital trunk board, BTU-D

Board for a maximum of 30 channel-associated (CAS) digital trunks or ISDN (Primary Rate Access) to the public exchange or to a private network. BTU-D provides the register function to the system for e.g. direct in-dialling, using MFC R2 or MFE signalling on digital trunks, DTMF and TRC detection.

##### Analogue tie line board, BTU-E

Board for tie-line (private trunk) traffic. Each board has 4 individuals with E&M signalling. Voice is transmitted via 2 or 4 wires (a/b). The following signalling formats are supported:

- E&M swedish format
- E&M continuous (A - and D - format)
- E&M discontinuous
- American E&M
- ESPA signalling to connect paging equipment
- CAILHO
- CEPT L1
- SSAC15

##### IP Unit, IPU

The board supports three functions:

- Trunk Gateway
  Gateway between the circuit switched and the IP based telephony in conjunction with a corporate LAN/WAN environment. The IPU board acts as an additional trunk board in case of network configurations. Instead of using leased lines between the network nodes, the existing LAN / WAN environment (10BaseT/100BaseTX) could be used with the same feature level (QSIG + UUS).
  The signalling protocol can be proprietary or according to H.323. In the later case the IPU hosted H.323 trunk GW entity is always trying to detect an according to H.323 Annex M.1 tunnelled QSIG message within the H.225 message. If no Annex M.1 is received, only basic calls are possible.
- Gatekeeper
  The integrated Gatekeeper function is a full H.323 implementation, which has the 2 main tasks

- for IP extensions:
  to map the E.164 based directory number of an IP-Extension in ASB 150 02 to it’s IP-address on the LAN and vice versa.
- for IP trunks:
  to control H.323 trunk gateways and to communicate with Neighborhood gatekeepers - for call setup purpose.

- Extension Gateway
  The Extension Gateway takes care about the signalling and the provisioning of the voice channels to the IP-Extensions (H.323 clients) on the LAN.

Up to 128 IP-Extensions can be assigned to one single IPU.

Up to 16 bi-directional voice channels are supported by the IPU with the use of the Voice-codecs G.711, G.723.1 and G.729 Annex A (with Annex B)

#### Multi Function Unit board

##### Digital extension, Analogue extension, Digital trunk and Voice memory board, MFU

The following functions are supported by the MFU:

- 4 ISDN Basic Access interfaces providing digital connection in the 2B+D format to the public exchange or private network as well as subscriber interfaces to S-bus terminals
- 4 analogue telephones with 4 DTMF receivers
- 8 digital system telephones
- VMU-HD functionality with 4 voice channels and 4 registers. The digitized speech is stored on a compact Flash card, which is available in following sizes: 32 MB and 64 MB.

#### Voice memory boards

##### Voice memory board, VMU-HD

Board is used for storing voice messages, voice information, voice announcements and text messages on a flash disk. Additionally functions like ACD Announcements, Automated Attendant, Conversation recording, Mailbox system, DISA and Music-on-Hold are supported. This board provides either 16 simultaneous voice channels or 8 simultaneous voice channels with register function. The flash disk is available in two sizes: 64 MB and 192 MB.

#### Integrated Cordless boards

##### Integrated Cordless Control Unit (IC-CU2)

This board controls the communication between the CPU‑D5 (CPU-D4) and up to 7 IC-LUs via an internal bus. It provides connection for the FECU, a printer and a maintenance system installed on a PC. It provides 8 speech circuits and supports 4 DECT base stations.

##### Integrated Cordless Line Unit (IC-LU)

This board connects up to 8 radio DECT base stations providing power feeding, communication on up to 8 voice channels and digital voice-channel transcoding between PCM and ADPCM.

##### Base Stations

The base stations enable radio communication between the Integrated Cordless system and cordless phones. Communication with the Base Station is done via two 2B+D interfaces (4x64 kb/s) providing eight 32 kb/s speech paths. For communication with the cordless phones 120 radio channels are randomly selected.

#### Optional units and daughter boards

##### Boards for call metering, CM

These are daughter boards that are mounted on an analogue trunk board BTU-A or BTU-C to detect meter pulses. One CM board is used for two trunk lines. There are two versions available:

- 50 Hz (not for BTU-C)
- 12/16 kHz.

##### V.24-interface board, AUX2

Auxiliary board with 3 V.24 interfaces for connection of peripheral units.

##### V.24-interface board, AUX3

Special software adapted AUX2 board with one V.24 interface which can only be used in conjunction with the PC-OPERATOR.

##### Feature Enabling Control Unit, FECU

The FECU is a plug connected to IC-CU2 or CPU‑D4 (CPU‑D5), to define or enable e.g. the permitted functionality in the system (Release 10 - Release 13 features) or the number of connected cordless phones in the system. The FECU is available in two versions: one for IC-CU2 and one for CPU-D4 (fits also to CPU‑D5).

##### Compact Flash card

The Compact Flash cards are used on the CPU-D5, IPU, MFU and VMU-HD.

- CPU-D5
  The Compact Flash card contains a license file which is used for feature licensing purpose.
- IPU
  The Compact Flash card contains a license file which defines the number of enabled bi-directional Voice over IP channels as well as the software of the IPU.
- MFU/VMU-HD
  The Compact Flash card contains the system voice messages, all types of announcements and individual messages.

##### Register board, REG

Board containing the register function for MFC R2 and MFE signalling, DTMF and Tone receivers. Used instead of a BTU-D, if only analogue trunks or tie lines are used.

### Auxiliary equipment

#### Call information logging, CIL

The interfaces on the CPU‑D5 (CPU-D4) or AUX2-board, provide call records which contain e.g. called and calling party number, costs of the call, duration etc.

This information can be used with a printer or with a Call Accounting Software for further analysis.

#### Door Interface Unit, DIU

The DIU connects the door phone speaker, micro-phone, push button (bell) and door opener via two extension lines to the exchange.

If the door opener is wired separately, only one extension line is needed.

#### Music sources

A peripheral music source can be connected for the functions "background music" and "music-on-hold". The connection can always be set up via an analogue trunk (BTU-A) or via an input on the CPU‑D5 (CPU‑D4) board. The music can also be stored on the VMU-HD or MFU flash cards and used for "music-on-hold".

#### Paging

Peripheral radio paging units can be connected to an analogue trunk.

#### Temperature Sensor

An external temperature sensor can be connected to the CPU‑D5 (CPU‑D4) and the value of e.g. outdoor temperature can be displayed on digital telephone sets.

#### Voice mail system

External Voice mail systems can be connected to an ASB 150 02 system via the ELU-A. Signalling between the Voice mail system and the PBX will be handled via DTMF-tones over the normal extension line (2 wire).

### Software key based licensing

Together with ASB 150 02 R14 a new software key based license concept is introduced, which will fully replace the FECU licensing structure used in previous releases together with the CPU-D4.

The software key is represented by a license file which is stored on the compact flash card of the CPU D5 if available. If there is no CPU-D5 in the system (upgraded system based on a CPU-D4) it is possible to store the license file on the compact flash card of the MFU, IPU or VMU-HD.

Compared to a hardware key (FECU), the software key provides a high flexibility regarding feature bundling (license steps) and a high flexibility regarding license updates as they can be done remotely via the BusinessPhone Management Suite.

The licenses can be ordered via the normal order process, each license step is represented by an own article number. For each ordered article number a Unique Pick Number (UPN) will be delivered. This UPN is used for the Ericsson License Center (ELC, part of the Ericsson Partner Network) to create the customer's license file with the bought features. The Ericsson License Center web page provides authorized users the possibility to create the license file directly.

Each new delivery of CPU-D5 together with compact flash is standard equipped with a basic license file for ASB 150 02 R14 or higher. This license provides all basic functionality plus two Mobile Extensions, two UM-users, two CTI users, two BackStage users, and two channels of full Ericsson networking. Added to that is a 60 days trial period starting from system installation when all functions are freely available.

Each function is separately available in maximum three different standard packages. Each one of these three standard packages is defining a different level of the function involved. These packages are easily identifiable by their names: Green pack - Orange pack - Red pack.

The standard packages within a function group can be enhanced to the desired level by adding one or more Plus Package(s). This can be done either at the initial order (new sales) or at a later stage (add-on sales).
