Installing the  Dialogic® 
Brooktrout® TR1034 T1/E1/IP 
PCI Express Fax Board (Single 
Span)

Part Number: 931-153-05

The 

Dialogic® Brooktrout®

TR1034 T1/E1/IP 

combination PCI Express boards 

(“TR1034” or 

“TR1034 Fax Board(s)”) 

are full-sized, single slot, 

PCI Express serial I/O bus-compatible boards with 

T1/E1, Ethernet, and H.100 capabilities. The 

TR1034 delivers 33.6 Kbps (V.34) fax transmission 

speeds, up to 30 fax channels per board, and an 

on-board T1/E1 interface (see Figure 6). The TR1034 

includes an Ethernet connector for T.38 Fax over IP 

and an H.100 connector to access off-board 

resources.
The TR1034 T1/E1/IP PCI Express boards use 3.3V 

and 12.0V power from the serial bus and can be 

inserted in x4, x8, or x16 bus (signaling) slots.
You need a separate fax application to use the 

TR1034 Fax Board. Please contact your application 

provider (normally a third party vendor) for the 

correct operating system driver, supporting files, 

and firmware. 

System Requirements

This board must be installed in an enclosure that 

meets the following specifications.

Š

A Pentium 4 or later host processor

Š

A PCI Express serial I/O bus slot that is at least 

x4 wide. See Recognizing PCI Express Slots for 

more information.

Š

Temperature: 0°C - 50°C

Š

Humidity: 10% - 90% (noncondensing)

Š

Power requirements:

3 W at 3.3 VDC
5 W at 12.0 VDC
8 W total power

Setting the Module Number

You must set each TR1034 Fax Board to a unique 

module number to identify the resources associated 

with a specific board in a multi-board system. Use 

the rotary switch (Figure 1) to set the module 

number for each TR1034 Fax Board (see location in 

Figure 4). The available settings are 2 - F (0 and 1 

are reserved).

Rotary Switch

Using the H.100 Clock Termination Switch

On a single TR1034 or on multiple TR1034 Fax 

Boards installed in the same chassis, leave the 

H.100 clock termination switch (Figure 4) in the 

OFF position. Multiple TR1034 

Fax 

Boards in the 

same system do not require the use of a connecting 

H.100 cable. 
If you have a TR1034 and other boards that need to 

be connected using an H.100 cable (not supplied), 

you must terminate the H.100 clock signal. Only the 

boards at each end of the cable must be terminated. 

All other boards must not be terminated (see 

Figure 2).

An H.100 termination switch (see Figure 3) controls 

termination for the H.100 clock signals. Set the 

switch to ON to terminate the H.100 clock on a 

TR1034 Fax Board (see Figure 4 for the location of 

the switch on the board).

Safety Compliance Statements

Š

Install this board only in UL Listed equipment 

that has instructions stating that the user may 

install and remove accessory boards.

Š

Disconnect any TNV circuit connectors 

(telephone line cords) from this board before 

removing the cover of the equipment.

Installing the Dialogic® Brooktrout® TR1034 
Fax Board 

To install the board:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the computer cover.  If the system has a 

board hold-down bar, remove it as well.

3. Locate an unused PCI Express bus slot (see 

Figure 5).

4. Holding the TR1034 Fax Board at each top 

corner, insert the board firmly into the PCI 

Express slot.

5. Screw the board’s mounting bracket securely to 

the computer's frame. See Figure 4.

6. Attach the connector on the H.100 cable to the 

connector on the board, if needed.

7. Replace the computer cover.
8. Turn on the computer. 

The board status LED (see Figure 4) 

continuously flashes yellow when you turn the 
computer on.

Note:

Dialogic® Brooktrout® Fax Boards should not be 

present in the computer during the installation of any 

operating system. The operating system can 

misinterpret the board as being some other device, with 

unpredictable consequences.

Set the H.100 switch

to the ON position.

Set the H.100 switch

to the ON position.

Set H.100 switches

on these boards to

the OFF position.

ON

Push switch
toward mounting
bracket to
turn on.

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.
