Vantage PCI International Series
The Vantage PCI board provides four or eight telephony
ports, one-port audio connection, four-port analog bus
connections, and an optional H.100 or MVIP bus.
This installation guide provides information on how to:
• Terminate MVIP and H.100 streams
• Install your board
• Connect telephony, audio, and ABC cables to the
board
Your board might use the following items:
• One-port audio cable
• ABC cable
• MVIP transition module
• H.100 cable
• ISA chassis adapter
Read the notices regarding regulatory compliance
in the installation and configuration guide that
came with yoursoftware.
WARNING: A small amount of static electricity
can destroy the sensitive components on your
board. To prevent static damage, always connect
yourselfto ground using a ground strap before
touchingacircuit board.Handleboardsonly bythe
edges or metal brackets. Transport boards in an
anti-static bag.
Terminating MVIP and H.100
Streams
Vantage PCI is compatible with both H.100 and MVIP-
90 CT buses. Both buses can operate simultaneously. In
such a configuration, the Vantage PCI becomes an
H.100 to MVIP-90 bridge. In configurations where both
buses operate simultaneously, put the Vantage PCI
board that bridges between the H.100 and MVIP buses
at one end of the MVIP cable to extend and terminate it.
If there is more than one Vantage PCI board in the
configuration, attach only the board providing the
bridge function to the MVIP bus. Attach all other
Vantage PCI boards in the configuration to the H.100
bus. Set jumpers to enable termination circuits for
boards at the ends of the bus. Do not enable termination
circuits for any other boards. Jumper terminations
shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 should be
followed for each bus type whether or not the other bus
is in use.
Set jumpers at J2 as follows:
• Set jumpers for pins 1 through 10 to control
termination for the H.100 bus, Figure 1.
• Set jumpers for pins 11 through 16 to control
termination for the MVIP bus, Figure 2.
• Set jumpers for all pins, to terminate both H.100
and MVIP if the board is at the end of both buses,
Figure 3.
• Do not set terminations for any boards that are not
at the end of a bus, Figure 4.

Installing the Board
Before installing your board, verify each of the
following:
•The host computer’s processor is a 486 or greater
•The host computer has a PCI bus with a speed of at
least 33 Mhz
•You have set the MVIP and H.100 termination
jumpers as appropriate
To install your Vantage PCI board:
1. Turn off your PC and remove the cover.
2. Visually inspect the available chassis PCI slot to
determine whether an ISA chassis adapter is needed
to stabilize the board. If so, attach the ISA chassis
adapter as shown in Figure 6.
3. Carefully align the board with the slot and firmly
seat the board into the computer.
4. Tighten the bracket screw to securely connect the
board’s bracket to the chassis. The bracket
connection provides safety grounding for the board.
5. Connect telephone lines to your board using an
RJ11 to RJ14 splitter cable. You can also add audio
and ABC cables.
Figure 6 shows the location of telephone, audio and
ABC connectors on the Vantage PCI board.
WARNING: The telephone network may carry
hazardousvoltages.Wheninstallingboards,donot
plug the board into a telephone network until you
have installed the board and closed thecover on
thecomputer.Disconnect thetelephonecablefrom
the board before opening the computer for any
reason.
When installing the board in your PC, make sure
that the bracket is securelyfastened to the chassis
and the chassis is plugged into a grounded three
prong plug. Improper chassis or bracket grounding
canresultinharmfulorfatalelectricalshockaswell
as component damage.
For safety reasons, onlyconnect equipment with a
telecommunications compliance label. This
includes customer equipment previously labeled
permitted or certified.

Connecting Audio Cables
Figure 6 shows the location of the three-pin audio
connector (J7) on the Vantage PCI board.
Figure 5 shows the pin numbers for the 3-pin audio
connector. Use a one-port audio cable to attach an audio
source to your board. Connect an audio source to the
jack labeled “In”on the audio cable, or a speaker to the
plug labeled “Out.”The audio connector provides high-
fidelity access to port 0.

Connecting ABC Cables
Figure 6 shows analog bus connectors (J1 and J14)
where you can attach a 10-pin ABC cable to your board.
J1 is for ports 1 through 4, J14 is for ports 5 through 8.
When connecting, ensure that pin 1 of the cable is
aligned with pin 1 of the jack. Use the ABC cable to
connect your board to another device such as a voice
resource board. The ABC provides analog access to all
of the board’s ports.
Connecting Telephone Cables
The Vantage PCI board has four RJ14 phone connectors
(J4, J12, J8, and J9 in Figure 6). Each RJ14 connector
provides two telephony ports as shown in Table 1
Note that on the Vantage PCI series board, the first line
starts at the bottom connector.
