Introduction SIO4-104.232 The SIO4-104.232, Item Number 3542, is a PC/104 module that provides four RS-232 serial interface ports. The board is designed using the XR16C554 UART, which provides a 16-byte FIFO. The RS-232 compatibility allows for connection to devices utilizing the RS-232 electrical interface, such as modems, and data-entry terminals.
Before You Get Started What’s Included The SIO4-104.232 is shipped with the following items. If any of these items is missing or damaged please contact Sealevel for replacement. • SIO4-104.232 Adapter • Sealevel SeaCOM Software CD Optional Items Depending upon your application, you are likely to find one or more of the following items useful for interfacing the SIO4-104.232 to real-world signals.
‘M’. IRQ Selection The SIO4-104.232 has an interrupt selection jumper, which should be set prior to use, if an interrupt is required by your application software. Consult the user manual for the application software being used to determine the proper setting.
(two or more ports), choose Multi-port serial adapters. Click Next. The Select a Device Driver window will appear. On the left side find Sealevel Systems, Inc. and on the right side of the window select the card type you are installing.
Linux Installation Refer to D:\software\seacom\Other\Linux\Linux.serial.readme (where D: = your CDROM driver letter) found on the Sealevel Systems CD. This file contains valuable information on installing your adapter in the various Linux releases. Also in this sub-directory is the Linux SerialHOWTO. These files explain typical Linux serial implementations, as well as informing the user to Linux syntax and preferred practices.
Physical Installation Extreme care should be taken when installing the SIO4-104.232 to avoid causing damage to the connectors. After the adapter is installed, connect your I/O cable to P4.. Refer to Card Setup for information on setting the address and jumper options before inserting the SIO4-104.232 onto the stack.
Physical Connection The port signals for the SIO4-104.232 are physically connected via a 40-pin box header. The following table shows connector P4’s pin-out. Signal Name DCD4 DSR4 RTS4 Port4 CTS4 DTR4 GND4 GND3 DTR3 CTS3 Port3 RTS3 DSR3 DCD3 DCD2...

Available for use with the SIO4-104.232 are the CA228, the CA110/CA143, and the CA222/TB10 combination cables. These cables terminate the SIO4-104.232 40-pin header to four DB9M connectors. This termination provides the standard DB9 pin out for RS-232 (EIA/TIA574) in RS-232 mode. The following table illustrates the DB9 pin out when using any of these optional cables.
No two adapters can occupy the same I/O address. 4. Try the Sealevel Systems adapter with a unique IRQ. While the Sealevel Systems adapter does allow the sharing of IRQs, many other adapters (i.e. SCSI adapters & on-board serial ports) do not.
When calling for technical assistance, please have your user manual and current adapter settings. If possible, please have the adapter installed in a computer ready to run diagnostics. Sealevel Systems provides an FAQ section on its web site. Please refer to this to answer many common questions. This section can be found at http://www.sealevel.com/faq.asp...
