Two-port Universal
Interface Card for
SYNC/570i (PCI)
Synchronous Communications
Controller
Installation Instructions
Introduction
Digi's two port Universal Interface Card can auto-
matically determine, from the cable, the interface
bus type to use with the peripheral device. That is,
you can select an interface type for the adapter
(V.35, X.21, EIA-530, or EIA-232) just by connect-
ing the appropriate cable between the adapter and
the peripheral device. Each of the ports on the
daughter card can use the same or a different type of
interface cable, giving you the flexibility to use one
adapter to connect to peripherals with two different
interface types.

Installing the Adapter
Before you begin
Before installing the SYNC/570i adapter and daugh-
ter card, you should do the following:
• Be sure that you have the correct cables for the
interface type(s) you will use with the SYNC/
570i. Depending on the package you ordered,
you will have one or two cables.
• Record the adapter’s serial number (located
under the part number label as shown in
Figure 1), which will enable Digi to provide you
with better service, should the need arise.
• Unplug power from the PC.
• Discharge static electricity from your body by
touching a grounded surface (prior to handling
the adapter).
• Put a ground strap on to ground yourself. (If one
is not available, ground yourself by touching an
unpainted metal surface, such as the computer’s
chassis.)
Installation Procedure
1.
Install the adapter.
a.
Remove the computer’s cover.
b.
Locate an available PCI slot in your computer
and remove the slot plate.
c.
Insert the adapter into the slot and screw the
endplate to the computer chassis. The endplate
must be screwed into the computer chassis to
remain in compliance with Part 15 of FCC
rules.
d.
Replace the computer’s cover.
2.
Connect cables. One end of each cable is
labelled with the interface type. Attach that end
to the peripheral. Attach the other end to an
adapter port. (Additional cabling information is
provided on this card.)
3.
Boot the computer.
4.
Run Digi’s diagnostics program.
The SYNC/570i PCI diagnostics are supplied on a
diskette that is shipped with the adapter. You
should run the diagnostics to verify that you can
communicate with the peripheral devices. Refer to
the text file on the diskette for information on
using the diagnostics.
Note:
The LEDs showing through the faceplate
on the adapter will not light until a driver
is loaded and the adapter initialized. With
the Digi driver loaded, the green LED will
light to indicate that the adapter is in a
“ready” state. The amber LED will light
when data is passed to the peripheral
device.
What next?
Install and configure the software for the Digi
SYNC/570i PCI adapter.
Usage Note
• If you change the interface of a port (by chang-
ing the interface cable) while your system is up,
the new interface may not be recognized until
the driver is restarted.
If you have a problem
• If you have difficulty communicating with a
peripheral connected to your SYNC/570i
adapter, call Digi Support Services to obtain a
diagnostic to use, and assistance in using it.
• If you have a problem booting your system after
installation of your SYNC/570i adapter, you
should call Digi Support Services for assistance.
