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. Note The Eiconcard C2x also supports protocols such as SDLC, PPP, and Frame Relay. All Eiconcards have been tested and found to comply with the El

Installing the Eiconcard C2x Follow the steps below to install the Eiconcard C2x. If you want the Eiconcard C2x 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 Install the Eiconcard C2x a) Drain static electricity from your body by touching the metal chassis (the unpainted metal at the

Making an ISDN Connection Note Only the Eiconcard C21 supports ISDN connections. After you have installed your Eiconcard C21, connect your ISDN line. In Europe and most countries worldwide In Europe as well as most countries outside of North America and Japan, your Eiconcard C21 adapter can be connected directly to your ISDN line using the included cable.

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 C21 S/T has been shipped with a separate terminating resistor. For information on how to install the terminating resistor, see “Installing a Terminating

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. Note Some NT1s do not support connections over 75
