Installing the Eiconcard
If you want the Eiconcard to be available to multiple users on a
LAN, install it in the computer that will function as a gateway for
the LAN.
1Preparethecomputer
Turn off the computer and disconnect its power cable. Wait at
least 30 seconds to ensure that all power has drained from the
system. Remove the cover of the computer according to the
instructions that came with it.
2 Install the Eiconcard
a) Drain static electricity from your body by touching the metal
chassis (the unpainted metal at the back of your computer).
b) Locate a slot in your computer that has the same bus type
as the Eiconcard. All Eiconcards (except for the Eiconcard
S94 PCIe and the Eiconcard C91 PCIe LP) can be installed
into either a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot. However, only the
Eiconcard S94/66 MHz and Eiconcard S94 V2 can take full
advantage of a 64-bit slot. See “Technical data” on page 37
for more information on the PCI capability of your card.
The Eiconcard S94 PCIe and Eiconcard C91 PCIe LP must be
installed in a PCI express (PCIe) slot. Both cards are
compatible with all PCIe compliant slots.
The C91 PCIe LP is a low-profile card. To install it in a full-
height slot, you must replace the low-profile bracket that is
attached by default with the full-height bracket included in
the package. To do this, remove the retaining screw holding
the bracket to the PC board, and the two jackposts holding
the bracket to the micro-D 25 plug connector. Swap the
brackets, and then fasten with the screw and jackposts.

Making an ISDN connection
page 14
Making an ISDN connection
Before you connect the Eiconcard, check with your ISDN provider
to determine if you need an NT1 to terminate your ISDN line. In
some countries, the NT1 is installed by your ISDN provider and
resides in the central switching office. In other countries, the NT1
must be installed at your premises, either by you or your ISDN
provider. You can order an NT1 from Dialogic or from another
supplier.
In Europe and most countries worldwide
In Europe and most countries outside of North America and Japan,
the NT1 is installed at the central switching office by the ISDN
provider. In these areas, the Eiconcard can be connected directly
to the ISDN line using the included cable. Plug one end of the cable
into the Eiconcard and plug the other end into the ISDN wall jack.
In North America and other countries
In North America and some other countries, the NT1 is installed at
your premises with its “U” jack connected to the ISDN wall jack.
The Eiconcard can be connected directly to the “S/T” jack on the
NT1 using the included cable.

Termination
This section provides instructions to help set up termination
scenarios for installations in Australia and North America.
Termination requirements vary according to the number of ISDN
devices connected to the NT1 and the distance between the ISDN
devices and the NT1.
Terminating resistor
If you purchased the Eiconcard in North America, a 100 ohm
terminating resistor is included. The terminating resistor is
installed by inserting the RJ-45 end of the ISDN cable into the
terminating resistor, and then inserting the terminating resistor
into an ISDN jack.
Terminating a single ISDN device
If the NT1 is connected to a single Eiconcard, then:
•If the connection spans 75 meters (250 feet) or more,
set the NT1 to provide 100 ohms of resistance and connect the
terminating resistor. Consult the manual provided with the NT1
for more detailed instructions.
Note: Some NT1s do not support connections over 75 meters.
•If the connection spans less than 75 meters (250 feet),
set the NT1 to 50 ohms of resistance and do not connect the
terminating resistor. Consult the manual provided with the NT1
for more detailed instructions.
Terminating multiple ISDN devices
If the NT1 is connected to more than one Eiconcard or other ISDN
device, then follow the instructions below.
•If the connection spans 75 meters (250 feet) or more,
then the ISDN device at each end of the connection must be
set to 100 ohm termination. If the Eiconcard is at one end of
the connection, connect the 100 ohm terminating resistor to
the end of the ISDN cable. Consult the manuals provided with
the other ISDN devices and NT1 for detailed instructions.
Note: Some NT1s do not support connections over 75 meters.
•If the connection spans less than 75 meters (250 feet),
set the NT1 to 50 ohms of resistance, and do not connect the
terminating resistor. Set the other ISDN devices to no
termination. Consult the manuals provided with the NT1 and
other ISDN devices for more detailed instructions.

Making a VHSI connection
page 16
Making a VHSI connection
(S series Eiconcards only)
The VHSI port can be used to connect the Eiconcard as a DTE to
devices such as Data Service Units (DSUs) that support one of the
following interfaces: V.24, V.35, EIA-530, V.36/RS-449, or X.21.
It can also be used to connect the Eiconcard directly to a host
computer, or back-to-back with a VHSI port on another Eiconcard.
If multiple VHSI ports are present on an Eiconcard, each port is
configured independently.
To use a particular interface, simply install the appropriate cable.
The Eiconcard recognizes the cable and automatically prepares the
port for that interface.
Consult the documentation which came with your networking
software for more information about port configuration.
VHSI cables
The following table lists the most common connections supported
by the VHSI port, and specifies the part number of the required
Dialogic cable. For information on making your own cables, see
“VHSI port specifications” on page 21.
