What Next?
At this point the hardware installation for your AccelePort Xr 920 host
adapter is complete. However, since the adapter must have software
downloaded to its RAM before it becomes functional, you must next
install the software drivers for your operating system.
• Read the instruction booklet for the CD-ROM that came with your
adapter for instructions on installing software.

Installation Guide
Introduction
® ™
An AccelePort Xr 920 host adapter easily expands the number of
EIA-232 ports available on your computer, allowing you to cable addi-
tional peripheral devices, such as modems, terminals or serial printers,
directly to your computer.
As shown in the figure below, an Xr 920 host adapter has one connector
to which a special Digi connector assembly is attached to provide the
peripheral port connections. There are three different connector assembly
options available from Digi to use with an Xr 920 host adapter: an RJ-45
Connector Box, a DB-25 Connector Box, or a DB-25 Cable Assembly.
