EiconCard P92 Installation Guide 5
Introduction
This guide describes how to install the EiconCard P92 card in any
computer with a PCI-compatible bus.
The EiconCard P92 allows stand-alone PCs or multiple users on a
Local Area Network (LAN) to make very high speed connections to
a Wide Area Network (WAN). These connections are typically made
through the EiconCard P92 to external communications equipment
(including CSUs, DSUs, and synchronous and asynchronous
modems) to provide access to WAN lines. Direct connections to a
host computer or to another EiconCard are also supported.
Hardware Features
The EiconCard P92 features a 10MHz Hitachi 64570 controller and
512 KB of on-board RAM. It has two independent Very High-Speed
Interface (VHSI) ports, supporting full duplex communications over
a V.24, V.35, EIA-530, V.36/RS-449, or X.21 interface at speeds of
up to 2 Mbps per port, depending on the type of interface selected.
Ease of Use
No interface selection is required beyond connecting the appropriate
cable to the EiconCard P92. The intelligent controller on the card
detects which interfaces the cable supports and automatically
configures that port accordingly.
