Step 1 Selecting the Cable Connector Type
The FarSync TE1 card has both a BNC and an RJ 48C connector while the FarSync TE1R has only an RJ48C
connector. The card is supplied with a suitable RJ48C cable (MCE1 R00). If you have a FarSync TE1R you may
proceed to step 2, if you have a FarSync TE1 you may need to select the cable type as described below.
The default configuration of the FarSync TE1 card is to use the RJ48C interface. If you wish to use a BNC cable,
then you will need to obtain a suitable pair of BNC cables (one for Tx and one for Rx) and change two links on the
card as indicated in the table below:
Do not connect any cables to the BNC connectors if the RJ48C connector is being used. Do not connect a cable to
the RJ48C connector if the BNC connectors are being used. If both RJ48C and BNC are connected
simultaneously then communications will be impaired.
Step 2 Installing the hardware
Shut down and power off the system. Identify a free PCI slot in your PC and install the FarSync TE1/TE1R card,
ensuring that it is properly secured with a mounting screw. The FarSync TE1/TE1R card is a Universal PCI card
that will operate in either 5-volt or 3.3-volt PCI slots conforming to revision 2.1 or later of the PCI interface
specification. This includes 64-bit PCI-X slots.
Step 3 Connecting the cables
Connect the card to the Network Termination Unit (NTU) with the selected cable. If using the RJ48C connector,
please refer to the Regulatory Notices on Page 4 of this guide.
Step 4 Install the Driver Software
Driver installation instructions can be found on the software CD accompanying the product. The \install.html file in
the root directory of the CD should be used as a starting point.
Step 5 Configure the FarSync Drivers
Configuration of the FarSync driver software also varies between the many supported operating systems. Again refer
to the documentation on the product CD for details of the mechanism suitable for your environment.
Warning – Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits on your FarSync
card. Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.
