The Eiconcard S Series allows you to connect using WAN protocols such as X.25, Frame Relay, PPP, SDLC and HDLC, over leased lines, dial-up lines or ISDN lines. Model Eiconcard S90 Eiconcard S91 S/T Eiconcard S91 V2 Eiconcard S94 Eiconcard S94/66 MHz VHSI port The VHSI port features automatic interface selection.
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. Prepare the computer Turn off the computer and disconnect its power cable. Remove the cover of the computer according to the instructions that came with it.
Making an ISDN connection Before you connect the Eiconcard, check with your ISDN provided 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.
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.
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.
Making a V.24 Connection (C series Eiconcards only) The V.24 port can be used to connect the Eiconcard as a DTE to devices that support a V.24 interface, directly to a host computer, or back-to-back with a V.24 port on another Eiconcard. Consult the documentation which came with your networking software for more information about port configuration.

Consult the documentation provided with the configuration software for information about this status light.
VHSI port specifications The standards compliant with each interface supported on the VHSI port are listed in Table 1. The rest of this section describes the pin-outs that are used to implement the electrical and signaling requirements of each interface. A wiring diagram is also provided for each interface that describes how interface pinouts are mapped to the VHSI port.
Cable construction information If you plan to construct your own VHSI cables, be sure to observe the guidelines given below. Wire gauge, grounding, and pairing • Use 28 AWG 7-strand wire with 0.020 - 0.028" insulation. • The chassis must be grounded both by a drain wire and by the braid; both must be connected to the connector case and shell at each end of the cable.
