SX2 QuadBRI / SX2-express QuadBRI
SX2 QuadBRI is is an ISDN card with four BRI interfaces. It works with Cologne Chip
HFC-4S and was developed especially for the use with SwyxWare. It is manufactured
exclusively for Swyx.
This documentation will mentioned the SX2 QuadBRI if both types (SX2 QuadBRI and
SX2-express QuadBRI) are referenced. Differences, e.g. regarding the configuration of the
board number, are pointed out explicitely.
• Properties of SX2 QuadBRI
ISDN Interface
• 4 x BRI interface
• Each line can be configured individually using a jumper field for the TE or NT mode.
The BRI connector (adapter for use of internal BRI) is not needed for the SX2 QuadBRI
• Short circuit resistance is provided for the ISDN connection via a special fuse (non-
blowing, auto-recovery)
• Line termination (100 Ohm) is adjustable for each connection individually via a DIP
switch.
• A maximum of 4 different cards (SX2 QuadBRI, SX2 SinglePRIand SX2 DualPRI) can
be used in one PC. In doing so, a maximum of 76 B channels will be supported. Please
note that the SX2 DualPRI is counted as two cards because it will appear as two network
cards in the Windows device manager.
PCI Interface
• SX2 QuadBRI
PCI Interface for 3.3V and 5V PCI 2.2 slots. If necessary, 5V is reduced to 3.3V using a
voltage regulator located on the card.
•SX2-expressQuadBRI
There is a PCI express x1 interface without any other configuration.
PCM Highway
• Tact synchronization between the different SX2 cards is possible. The cards are
connected with a ribbon cable.

Conformity Declaration
The ISDN card family SX2 conforms to the hardware specifications of the ISDN standards
(I.430, CTR3).
Dimensions of the SX2 QuadBRI
15.5 x 10.5 x 1.3 cm
If there are any problems during the installation using an old PC please update the BIOS.
• Installation of the ISDN PC Cards
The ISDN card can be installed in the same PC on which the SwyxServer is also installed. In
the standard installation, the SwyxGate service is also installed. This service controls the
ISDN lines that appear in the SwyxWare Administration as an ISDN trunk.
In order to be able to install a SwyxGate on a separate PC, the SwyxServer must already be
installed and operable. For the SwyxGate installation you will need
• the server name and
• the name of the domain account, which was created in preparation for the installation of
the SwyxServer
Before the ISDN cards are inserted, they must be configured for operation.
A maximum of 4 different cards (SX2 QuadBRI, SX2 SinglePRIand SX2 DualPRI) can be
used in one PC. In doing so, a maximum of 76 B channels will be supported. Please note that
the SX2 DualPRI is counted as two cards because it will appear as two network cards in the
Windows device manager.

• Preparation of the SX2 QuadBRI before insertion
The ISDN card SX2 QuadBRI must be configured using jumpers and DIP switches, before it
is inserted into a PC.
The operating mode (TE/NT) and the bus termination must be configured for each line of the
SX2 QuadBRI before insertion.
Requirement for further description: The SX2 QuadBRI is lying in front of you with the PCI
plug strip facing down and the BRI connections to the left.

Jumper blocks 1-4 Connection for external feed
module
Configuration of the Operating Mode
• TE mode is set if the ISDN connection is connected to an NTBA or the SwyxWare is
configured as a subsystem.
• NT mode is set if the ISDN connection is used for an external subsystem or directly
connected ISDN telephones are to be used.
Each BRI bus connection is a jumper block with five assigned jumpers. If all five jumpers
are inserted to the left, the connection is configured as NT. If all five jumpers are on the
right-hand side of the block, the connection is configured as TE.
Figure 2 Jumpers of SX2-express QuadBRI
Important: All five jumpers must always have the same orientation, e.g. all to the right or all
to the left.
After the installation of the driver software, the same operating type must be set in the
configuration dialog. It is therefore not sufficient to configure the operating mode on the
hardware only or in the software only.

Configuration of the supply voltage in NT mode
An interface configured for NT mode can be fed with 40V from an optional external feed
module. Connect this feed module to the green connector on the upper right side of the SX2
QuadBRI.
Using the SX2 QuadBRI V2 with an external feed module you have to insert additionally
the two outer jumpers on the plug-in slot of the internal feed module (see figure below).

Figure 4 Configuration of the supply voltage in NT mode of SX2-express QuadBRI
For each NT interface to be fed, set two jumpers for each port to which you want to supply
power. Afterwards, ISDN devices that are intended for supply from the public line can also
be operated directly on the SX2 QuadBRI V2.
Please ensure that you use the feed module only for interfaces that are
configured for NT mode. Otherwise the interface will be damaged.
Alternatively, you can mount an internal feed module directly on the SX2 QuadBRI.
Do not use an internal and an external feed module at the same time.

Configuration of the BRI Bus Terminal
• In TE mode, the termination depends on the cabling.
• In NT mode the termination should be switched on, since the card then normally
represents the end of the BRI bus.
Next to the block of jumpers for a connection, you will find a two-pole DIP switch which
can be used to configure the BRI bus terminal.
