Installing the Dialogic® 

Brooktrout® TR1034 BRI 

PCI Fax Board

Part Number: 931-106-05

The Dialogic® Brooktrout® TR1034 BRI
(Basic Rate Interface ISDN) PCI boards 
(“TR1034” or “TR1034 fax board(s)”)are half-sized, 
single-slot PCI-bus compatible fax boards. They 
provide the following:

Š

On-board BRI connections

Š

V.34 (33.6 Kbps) fax transmission speeds

Š

Up to four fax and voice channels per board

The TR1034 BRI PCI Series boards can be used in 
either 3.3V or 5V bus (signaling) slots.
You need a fax or voice application to use a 
TR1034 BRI Fax Board. Dialogic does not provide 
the application or a driver for this board. A driver 
comes with the application that you purchase.

Getting Help

System Requirements

This board must be installed in an enclosure that 
meets the following specifications:

Š

A Pentium or later host processor

Š

A PCI bus slot that runs at least 33 MHz and is 
32 or 64 bits wide. See 

Recognizing PCI Slots

 for 

more information.

Š

Temperature: 0 C - 50 C

Š

Humidity: 10% - 95% (non-condensing)

Š

Power Requirements:

The following is also required:

Š

Telephone service: BRI interface

Setting the Module Number

Set each board to a unique module number to easily 
identify the resources associated with a specific board 
in a multi-board system.

Use the SW-1 rotary switch (Figure 1) to set a unique 
module number for each Dialogic® Brooktrout® fax 
board. See Figure 5 for the switch location. Select a 
number from 2 - F on the rotary switch. Settings 0 and 
1 are reserved and cannot be used. 

Figure 1. Rotary Switch (SW-1)

Setting Termination Jumpers 

for the BRI Line

Before installing your board, set termination for the 
BRI line if necessary. See Figure 5 for the location of 
the termination switches. 

Set jumpers as follows (See Figure 2 for details):

Figure 2. Termination Jumpers

Š

When the jumpers are removed from both 
switches for the appropriate port, there is no 
termination.

Š

When jumpers are present, the lines are 
terminated with 100

 

ohms (this is how the boards 

are shipped)

.

Š

Dialogic does not support any configuration 
except the two illustrated in Figure 2.

Installing the Fax Board

To install your board:
1.

Turn off your PC and remove the cover.

2.

If the system has a PCI expansion hold-down bar, 
remove it.

3.

Locate a free PCI bus slot and remove the slot 
cover.

4.

Carefully align the board with the slot and firmly 
seat the board into the slot.

5.

Tighten the mounting bracket screw to secure the 
board to the chassis.

6.

Replace the cover.

7.

Turn on your computer.

Note: 

Dialogic® Brooktrout® fax boards should not be present in 

the computer during the installation of any operating 

system. The operating system might misinterpret the board 

as being some other device, with unpredictable 

consequences.

Recognizing PCI Slots

The PCI connectors in the computer chassis usually 
appear as white slots. The TR1034 BRI Fax Board 
has a PCI board edge connector. It can be inserted into 
any of the PCI slots shown in Figure 3. 

Figure 3. PCI Slots

Connecting the Phone Service

The appropriate telephone service and hookups must 
be installed at your site in order to connect to 
telephone service. The following table shows the 
channel/port relationship: 

 

Use the cable supplied with the board. Do the 
following to connect your board to BRI service:
1.

Plug one end of the cable into the telephone 
connector on the board.
Connect to Port A for channels 0 and 1 or to 
Port B for channels 2 and 3 (see Figure 5 to 
locate ports).

2.

Plug the other end into the wall connector for 
your BRI service.

Note: 

Port B is not present on the TR1034 BRI single port version.

Caution: A small amount of static electricity can 

destroy the sensitive components on your board. 

To prevent static damage, always connect yourself 

to ground using a ground strap before touching a 

circuit board. Handle boards only by the edges or 

metal mounting brackets and transport boards in 

an anti-static bag.

Warning: When installing the board, be sure that 

the mounting bracket is securely fastened to the 

chassis and the chassis is plugged into a 

grounded three prong plug. Improper chassis or 

bracket grounding can result in harmful or fatal 

electrical shock as well as component damage.
