Page 9: Card Setup
8-PORT SERIAL HOST ADAPTER PCI 3. Card Setup 3.1 Clock Modes The Adapter employs a unique clocking option that allows the end user to select from divide-by-4 and divide-by-1 clocking modes. This mode is selected at J1. To select the baud rates commonly associated with COM ports (2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2, …... -

Page 17: Appendix B : Electrical Interface (Rs-232)
8-PORT SERIAL HOST ADAPTER PCI Appendix B: RS-232 Electrical Interface The most widely used communication standard is RS-232. It’s been defined and revised several times and is sometimes also called EIA/TIA-232. The IBM AT computer defined the RS-232 port on a DB9 connector, and subsequently the EIA/TIA approved this implementation as the EIA/TIA-574 standard, which is defined as the “9-Position Non-Synchronous Interface between Data Terminal Equipment and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment Employing Serial Binary... -
Page 18: Appendix C: Asynchronous Communications
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART), which allows asynchronous serial data to be transferred through a simple and straightforward programming device. The Serial Host Adapter (IC142C) uses a much newer 16554 UART that also features buffering. Asynchronous communication works this way: A start bit, followed by a pre- defined number of data bits (5, 6, 7, or 8) defines character boundaries for asynchronous communication. - Page 19 8-PORT SERIAL HOST ADAPTER PCI An extra bit used for error detection is often appended before the stop bits. This special bit is called the parity bit. Parity is a simple way to determine if a data bit has been lost or corrupted during transmission. There are several methods for implementing a parity check to guard against data corruption.
