3. Select the proper adapter configuration (SW3).
This switch setting is important for configurations that use the PCM
interface. If the host system can support both the 8 ksps and 6.67
ksps digital frame rates, set SW3=OFF. If on the other hand, the
host system only supports the standard 8 ksps voice sample rate,
enable the adapter, i.e. set SW3=ON.
4. Select the truncated timing switch (SW4) to the OFF position.
This switch can be used to initially setup the FAA20 in truncated
timing mode. This typically is not desirable, but could be helpful for
system test or demonstration purposes.
5. If VC20 mode has been selected and the PCM interface will be used
with the vocoder, set the PCM route enable switch (SW5) to the ON
position. Otherwise, set the position to OFF.
4.3 Setting up Flash Configuration Parameters
It is recommended that the FAA20 flash configuration parameter settings be
reviewed and updated as required to insure FAA20 interoperability. The
flash configuration parameters settings are accessible via the FAA20
terminal command interface.
To communicate with the FAA20 terminal port for the first time, set up a
terminal to work at 115,200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow
control. The terminal communication parameters can be changed and
saved to flash memory, as required.
To view the current configuration, type the ‘CFG’ command which lists all
configuration parameters. For a list of the default settings, refer to Section
8.3.3.
Since the desired configuration setup is up to the FAA20 integrator, detailed
setup instructions are not provided. However, the following sections
provide additional information which may be helpful in selecting the
appropriate flash configuration.
4.3.1 Timing Configuration
In order to achieve the best audio quality, the proper timing configuration
must be used. The following items provide timing configuration guidance.
• Clocking (CLKSRC, CLKRATE, FRAMESIZE). Either internal or
external clock (CLKSRC) must be selected for the NIB clock
interface and the optional PCM interface. Since the FAA20 vocoder
is intended to be part of a larger system, external timing is usually
selected. If external clock is selected, the CLKRATE and
FRAMESIZE can be ignored: CLKRATE and FRAMESIZE. If
internal clock is selected, you must insure that the normal and
truncated timing modes support 8 ksps and 6.67 ksps for linear
voice, respectively. In addition, the frame rates for compressed
