EiconCard P92 Installation Guide 5
Introduction
This guide describes how to install the EiconCard P92 card in any
computer with a PCI-compatible bus.
The EiconCard P92 allows stand-alone PCs or multiple users on a
Local Area Network (LAN) to make very high speed connections to
a Wide Area Network (WAN). These connections are typically made
through the EiconCard P92 to external communications equipment
(including CSUs, DSUs, and synchronous and asynchronous
modems) to provide access to WAN lines. Direct connections to a
host computer or to another EiconCard are also supported.
Hardware Features
The EiconCard P92 features a 10MHz Hitachi 64570 controller and
512 KB of on-board RAM. It has two independent Very High-Speed
Interface (VHSI) ports, supporting full duplex communications over
a V.24, V.35, EIA-530, V.36/RS-449, or X.21 interface at speeds of
up to 2 Mbps per port, depending on the type of interface selected.
Ease of Use
No interface selection is required beyond connecting the appropriate
cable to the EiconCard P92. The intelligent controller on the card
detects which interfaces the cable supports and automatically
configures that port accordingly.

6 EiconCard P92 Installation Guide
Installing the EiconCard P92
The steps below describe how to install the EiconCard P92.
1 Prepare the PC
Turn off the PC and disconnect its power cable. Remove the cover of
the PC according to the instructions that came with it.
2 Install the EiconCard P92
Insert the EiconCard P92 in any available PCI port. Secure the
adapter to the chassis of the PC using the bracket-retaining screw.
Reinstall the cover of the PC and reconnect the power cable.
3 Test the EiconCard P92
The application software that you purchased with the EiconCard P92
contains a test program to verify the card’s integrity. Consult the
documentation supplied with this software for details.
4 Configure the EiconCard P92
BeforeyoucanusetheEiconCard P92, you must configureittowork
with your communications software. The documentation which came
with this software contains complete instructions
on how to configure the card. During
configuration, note the following:
• The ports are numbered Port 1 and Port 2 as
indicated in Figure 1.
• The LEDs indicate connection and
configuration status. For a description of
connection status indications, see page 8.
For a description of how the LEDs are used
during configuration, consult the
documentation which came with your
networking software.

EiconCard P92 Installation Guide 7
Selecting an Interface
The EiconCard P92 can connect as a DTE to devices such as Data
Service Units (DSUs) which support one of the following interfaces:
V.24, V.35, EIA-530, V.36/RS-449, or X.21. It can also connect
directly to a host computer, or back-to-back to another EiconCard.
Each VHSI port is configured independently.
Table 1 lists the most common connections for each interface, and
gives the part number of the required Eicon Technology cable. For
information on making your own cables, see “Interface
Specifications,” on page 9.
Table 1. Standard Interface Cables
To use an interface, simply install the appropriate cable. The
EiconCard P92 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.

Connection Status Indicators
The green LED adjacent to each port on the EiconCard P92—see
Figure 1 on page 6—provides a convenient indication of the status of
the connection on that port. The LED indicates the status as follows:
Table 2. Explanation of LED States
LED State Connection Status Remedy
Off The port is not loaded (the configuration
file describing protocol and interface
parameters has not been read by the
device driver on the PC).
Consult your networking
software for instructions on
howtoloadaconfigurationfile
and how to start a connection.
Rapid Flash
(stays on for
1/2 second)
The connection has not been established.
Either the port is loading OR there is no
response from the destination device
OR the EiconCard P92 is waiting for a
VHSI cable to be connected to the port.
Verify that the cable is
properlyconnected to theport.
If the light continues flashing
after a few minutes, verify that
the destination device is active.
Slow Flash
(stays on for
1 second)
The connection was interrupted
unexpectedly. The cable was unplugged
or damaged while a connection was
active.
Reconnect the cable.
On The port is active and the connection
is good.
