Introduction The S5x family of Eiconcards are ISA cards that offer X.25 connectivity through one or two (depending on the the Eiconcard model) high-speed ports (supporting V.24, V.35, or X.21 interfaces) at speeds of up to 512 Kbps, and/or through an ISDN BRI port (Eiconcard S51) at speeds of up to 128 kbps (over the “D” channel or the “B” channels). Note The Eiconcard S5x also supports protocols such as SDLC, PPP, and Frame Relay.
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. Remove the cover of the PC according to the instructions that came with it. 2 Prepare the Eiconcard Prepare the Eiconcard S5x by selecting its I/O address and communications interface. a) Set the I/O address.
If there is a metal plate at the end of the slot, remove it and keep the screw. d) 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. c) screw ISA Eiconcard ISA slot Figure 2. Inserting the Eiconcard S5x.
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. • To set up ISDN connections, consult “Making an ISDN Connection” on page 9. • To set up an HSI connection, consult “Making an HSI Connection” on page 13.
Making an ISDN Connection Note Only the Eiconcard S51 supports ISDN connections. 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. • If you plan to use a third party NT1 or if you are installing the Eiconcard S51 outside of North America, see “Making an HSI Connection” on page 13.
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. • In North America and Australia, you may need to insert the RJ-45 plug into the terminating resistor, and then insert the terminating resistor into the S/T connector.
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. For users who require termination, the Eiconcard S51 S/T has been shipped with a separate terminating resistor.
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. Consult the manuals provided with the other ISDN devices and NT1 for more details.
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. Each HSI port is configured independently Table 1 lists the most common connections supported by the HSI port, and specifies the part number of the required Eicon Networks cable.
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 Compatibility V.24 CCITT V.24 Signalling CCITT V.28 Electrical V.35 X.21 CCITT X.21bis Electrical and signalling RS-232-C Electrical and signalling ISO 2110 Connector type for the DCE side of a V.
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. Both the drain wire and the braid must be connected to the connector case and shell at each end of the 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. Remember that no other card can use the same address, or the next seven higher values (for example, if you choose 378, no other card can use any value from 378 to 385).
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. Primary and secondary I/O addresses differ in the setting of switch 1, as described in Table 8.
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. If you wish to use the X.21 interface, you must reposition the jumper located next to the HSI connector. To change the jumper from position A (V.24/V.35) to position B (X.
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. You may be able to make additional IRQs available by disabling serial port 2 and parallel port 2. Consult your PC manual for details.
LED Functionality Eiconcard S50, S52 Note The Eiconcard S50 has only one HSI port. 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. Consult the documentation provided with the configuration software for information about this status light.
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. Off ..........The line is not active. The cable may not be connected. Blinking .. The line is active, but a link can’t be established. This may be a symptom of incorrect configuration. Steady....
