Introduction The Eiconcard C2x is an ISA Plug-and-Play (PnP) card that offers X.25 connectivity through a V.24 serial port at speeds of up to 64 Kbps, and/or through an ISDN BRI port (Eiconcard C21) at speeds of up to 128 Kbps (over the “D” channel or the “B” channels). The Eiconcard C2x is typically used for stand-alone or remote LAN gateways.

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.
