29 before installing and using your adapter. Hardware Features The Eiconcard S5x features the following: Eiconcard CPU/Memory Eiconcard S50 20 MHz Motorola 68302 / 2 MB RAM Eiconcard S51 20 MHz Motorola 68302 / 2 MB RAM...
Installing the Eiconcard S5x Follow the steps below to install the Eiconcard S5x. If you want the Eiconcard S5x to be available to multiple users on a LAN, install it in the PC that will function as a gateway for the LAN. 1 Prepare the PC Turn off the PC and disconnect its power cable.

If there is a metal plate at the end of the slot, remove it and keep the screw. Firmly insert the adapter into the selected slot. To avoid damaging your hardware, insert the adapter only into a slot with the same bus type as the adapter. Inserting the adapter into any other type of slot can damage your adapter, your PC, or both.

5 Test the Eiconcard S5x The application software purchased with the Eiconcard S5x contains a test program to verify the card’s integrity. Consult the documentation supplied with this software for details. 6 Connect to the outside world You are now ready to connect the Eiconcard S5x to the outside world.
Making an ISDN Connection Only the Eiconcard S51 supports ISDN connections. Note After you have installed your Eiconcard S51, connect your ISDN line. • If you plan to use an Eicon Networks NT1, see “Connecting to an Eicon Networks NT1,” below. •...
Connecting to a Third Party NT1 To connect to a third party NT1, you must use the ISDN S/T Cable. This cable includes interface circuitry which is not normally provided by the third party NT1 (but which is provided by Eicon’s NT1). Plug the ISDN S/T Cable into the DIN-4 port on the card as illustrated in Figure 4.
Termination This section applies to S/T interface users in Australia and North America, and provides instructions to help set up termination scenarios. Termination requirements vary according to: the number of devices connected to the NT1; and the distance between the devices and the NT1.
Multiple ISDN Devices If the NT1 is connected to more than one ISDN device, follow the procedures below. 75 meters or more If the connection spans 75 meters (250 feet) or more, both end devices on the ISDN bus must be set to 100 ohm termination. If the Eiconcard is one of the end devices, connect the 100 ohm terminating resistor included with the ISDN cable.
Making an HSI Connection The Eiconcard S5x can connect as a DTE to devices such as Data Service Units (DSUs) which support one of the following interfaces: V.24, V.35, or X.21. It can also connect directly to a host computer, or back-to-back to another Eiconcard.
Interface Specifications The standards compliant with the interfaces supported on the HSI port are listed in Table 2. The rest of this section describes the allocation of pins used to implement the electrical and signalling requirements of each interface. Interface Standard V.24 CCITT V.24...
Cable Construction Information If you plan to construct your own HSI cables, be sure to observe the guidelines given below. Wire Gauge, Grounding, and Pairing • Use 26 or 24 AWG wire. Contacts should be 30 microinch gold flash. • The cable must be grounded both by a drain wire connected to pin 1 on both sides (pin A on the type M connector) and by the braid.
The V.24 Interface A pin-out diagram for the V.24 DCE interface is shown in Figure 5. The signal definitions and names are listed in Table 4. Pin # Signal Name PGND Protective Ground Transmit Data Receive Data Request to Send Clear to Send Data Set Ready SGND...
The V.35 Interface A pin-out diagram for the V.35 interface is shown in Figure 6. The signal definitions and names are listed in Table 5. Pin # Signal Name PGND Protective Ground Request to Send Clear to Send Data Set Ready SGND Signal Ground Data Carrier Detect...
The X.21 Interface A pin-out diagram for the X.21 interface is shown in Figure 7. The signal definitions and names are listed in Table 6. Pin # Signal Name PGND Protective Ground SGND Signal Ground S(A) Signal Element Timing (+) S(B) Signal Element Timing (-) R(A)
Null-Modem Cables The wiring diagrams below shows the connections required to construct a back-to-back HSI—HSI cable, and V.35 - AS/400 cable.

Appendix Setting the I/O Address The Eiconcard S5x is shipped with the I/O address set to 380h. This setting only needs to be changed if another card in your PC uses an I/O address in the range 380h to 387h. You can set the Eiconcard to use any of the standard I/O addresses listed in Table 7.
Page 23
Setting I/O Addresses when Installing Multiple Eiconcards If you are installing two or more Eiconcards in the PC, for every Eiconcard installed at a primary I/O address, you can install one at a secondary I/O address. This reduces the number of I/O addresses consumed since primary and secondary I/O addresses occupy the same position in the PC I/O address space.
Selecting an Interface The Eiconcard S5x is capable of connecting as a DTE to devices which support the V.24, V.35, or X.21 interface. It can also connect directly to a host computer or back-to-back to another Eiconcard. The Eiconcard S5x is shipped with the HSI port set to the V.24 and V.35 interfaces.
Software Configuration Use the information below to assign the card’s interrupt request level and memory segment address. Interrupt Request Level Only one device can use each interrupt request level (IRQ). Make sure you assign an unused IRQ to the Eiconcard S5x. The usual assignment of IRQs in a PC is listed in Table 9.
LED Functionality Eiconcard S50, S52 The Eiconcard S50 has only one HSI port. Note Configuration Status This status light illuminates during configuration to indicate which card and/or port is being configured. This is most useful when more than one Eiconcard is installed in the PC.
Page 27
Eiconcard S51 The Eiconcard S51 has three status lights (LEDs) on the end bracket. Two of these lights indicate the status of the ISDN connection, and the third identifies the card during configuration. D-channel Status The D-channel controls the link to your ISDN service provider.
