Installation guide
Installing the Dialogic® 
Brooktrout® TR1034 Analog 
PCI Express Board
Part Number: 931-159-06
The Dialogic® Brooktrout® TR1034 Analog PCI 
Express boards (“TR1034” or “TR1034 Board(s)”) are 
full-sized, single-slot, PCI Express serial I/O 
bus-compatible fax boards. They provide the 
following:
 On-board analog loop start connections
 V.34 (33.6 Kbps) fax transmission speeds
 Up to eight fax and voice channels per board
The TR1034 Analog PCI Express Series boards use 
3.3V and 12.0V power from the serial bus and can be 
inserted into the x4, x8, or x16 bus (signaling) slot.
You need a voice or fax application to use a 
TR1034 Analog board. Dialogic does not provide the 
application or a driver for this board. Normally, you 
purchase the application and driver from a third party 
vendor.

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 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.

Installing the TR1034 Board
To install your board:
1. Turn off your PC and remove the cover.
2. Locate a free PCI Express bus slot (see Figure 2).
3. Carefully align the board with the slot and firmly 
seat the PCI Express Board Edge connector into 
the PCI Express slot..
4. Tighten the mounting bracket screw to secure the 
board to the chassis.
5. Replace the cover.
6. Turn on your computer.
Note:  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 Express Slots
The PCI Express slots in the computer chassis appear 
as black slots. The TR1034 Analog board has a PCI 
Express board edge connector. It can be inserted into 
any one of the PCI Express slots shown in Figure 2.

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/connector relationship: 
Use the cable supplied with the board. Use the 
following instructions to connect your board to Analog 
Loop Start service:
1. Plug one end of the cable into the RJ-45 telephone 
connector on the board.
Connect to Connector A for channels 0-3 or to 
Connector B for channels 4-7 (see Figure 4 to 
locate connectors).
2. Plug the other end into the wall connector for your 
telephone service.

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.
