Chapter 1 – Introduction and Description This manual describes the Multi-Tech Intelligent Serial Interface, Server Cards Models ISI5634UPCI-4/8 and ISI9234PCIE-4/8. The UPCI Cards install on Universal PCI-bus architecture and the PCI Express cards install on PCI Express-bus architecture. We assume that you have basic PC skills. Therefore, we have not included step-by-step instructions for basic computer operations. ISI Server Cards The ISI Server Card model ISI5634UPCI uses Universal PCI-bus architecture.
Chapter 1 – Introduction and Description digital to analog only once before it reaches your modem. Upstream transmissions and transmissions between client modems are limited to 33.6 Kbps. Upstream transmissions to non-V.92-compatible ISPs and downstream transmissions that are converted more than once on the telephone line are also limited to 33.6K bps. When calling into the ISI modem with another V92 modem over an analog phone line, the maximum speed achievable is 33.6 Kbps.
Chapter 1 – Introduction and Description Category Bus Type: Description ISI9234 models are PCI Express form factor 1x, PCIe 1.0 compatible. ISI5634 models are UPCI is PCI spec version 2.1 compatible. Connectors: one RJ-45 jack (female) on ISI-4; two RJ-45 jacks (female) on ISI-8 Cables: The ISI-8 ships with two four-port fan-out cables. Each cable has an RJ-45 plug (male) at one end and four RJ-11 plugs (male) at the other end. The ISI-4 ships with one such four-port fan-out cable.
Chapter 2 – Windows Installation Use the procedures in this chapter to install Windows drivers before you install the ISI Card into a PCI slot. Notes: The ISI drivers are the same for the ISI5634-UPCI and the ISI9234-PCI Express products. After you install the drivers and hardware, you may need to configure the modems for your country/region. The procedure for doing this is in Chapter 5—Configuring the Modems for Your Country.
Chapter 2 – Windows Installation 6. Click Continue Anyway each time you are shown the Windows Logo testing window. There will be a transitory screen, then the process will complete. 7. Click on the Finish button. Your driver installation is complete. 8. If you have not already done so, you can now shut down the PC, unplug the power cord and physically install your ISI card per the instructions found in Chapter 3 – Hardware Installation.
Chapter 3 – Hardware Installation This chapter describes how to install a Multi-Tech ISI as an expansion card in your PCI-bus computer. Telecom Safety Warnings ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● This product must be installed by a qualified service person. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install a telephone jack in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. This product is to be used with UL and cUL listed computers.
Chapter 3 – Hardware Installation Hardware Installation Procedures NOTE: If you are using a Windows operating system, use Windows Installer to install drivers before you install the ISI Card into a PCI slot. Refer to Using the Windows Installer in Chapter 2 – Windows Installation for more information. If you are using Linux, install the hardware and then install the drivers. Refer to Chapter 4 – Linux Installation for more information.
7. Fasten the retaining bracket to the computer chassis and replace cover on the computer. 8. Cable the card. The -4 ISI Server card has one RJ-45 receptacle and one fan-out cable. The -8 ISI Server card has two RJ-45 receptacles and two fan-out cables. Each fan-out cable extends connections for four modems from the RJ-45 plug to four RJ-11 plugs. a. Attach each RJ-11 plug to a phone line receptacle. b. Attach the RJ-45 connector into the appropriate RJ45 receptacle on the ISI Server card.
Chapter 4 – Linux Installation There are two options for installing Linux drivers: ● ● For Linux kernel version 2.6.8 or higher, use the driver that it built-in to the Linux kernel. The download explains how to configure the driver. For Linux kernel version 2.4.x, you will need to download drivers from the Multi-Tech Installation Resources website. Multi-Tech's version 1.01 driver for the ISI Cards works with the 2.4.x Linux kernel. It has been tested with RedHat Release Versions 7.3, 8.0, and 9.0.
Chapter 4 – Linux Installation Using Multi-Tech Drivers for Linux Kernel 2.4.x The installation process includes building the driver, creating tty device names, and loading the driver module. This section describes how to make an installer to complete these steps. If you would prefer to install the driver manually, consult the ReadMe file that accompanies the tar file on the Multi-Tech Installation Resources website. Note: All Linux line command expressions are case-sensitive.
Chapter 5 – Configuring the Modems for your Country Different countries have different requirements for how modems must function. Therefore, before you use the modems in your ISI Card, you must configure them to match the defaults of the country in which you are using them. Use the Global Wizard to configure each modem as described below. The Global Wizard configuration utility works with computers running Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista/2008/7. Installing the Global Wizard 1. Go to http://www.multitech.
Chapter 6 – Reset Utility The Reset Utility allows you to reset a single modem or all the modems. Prerequisite: The ISI drivers must be installed before the Reset Utility can function. Using the Windows Port Reset Utility Note: Any other utility accessing the first com port needs to be closed before you can access the first com port in the Reset Utility. 1. Go to http://www.multitech.com/setup/product.go and select your model from the Product drop down list. 2. Click Software. 3.
Chapter 6 – Reset Utility If you did not select the first COM port, the following error message displays. Using the Linux Port Reset Utility The port-reset utility allows you to reset ports and modems without rebooting. To reset a serial port, the DTR pin is set to the low logic level for one second. To reset the modem port, the Reset pin is toggled (i.e., its logic state is inverted and then restored).
Appendix A – Cable Wiring Diagrams The four modems on the ISI-4 are attached to phone receptacles by a single fan-out cable that has an RJ45 connector on one end (which connects to the card) and four RJ11 connectors on the other end (which connect to phone receptacles). The eight modems ISI-8 are served by two such fan-out cables. The pin out for the fan-out cable is shown below.
Appendix B – Regulatory Compliance FCC Part 15 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to 47 CFR Part 15 regulations. The stated limits in this regulation are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Appendix C – Environmental Information Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Statement July, 2005 The WEEE directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers to takeback electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister Directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the products at the design phase.
Appendix C – Environmental Info REACH Statement Registration of Substances: After careful review of the legislation and specifically the definition of an “article” as defined in EC Regulation 1907/2006, Title II, Chapter 1, Article 7.1(a)(b), it is our current view Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. products would be considered as “articles”. In light of the definition in § 7.
