    Installing a DSP-100 Under Windows 2000 ........

  • Page 5: Introduction

    The DSP-100 is a dual channel RS-232 asynchronous serial adapter for systems equipped with PCMCIA Type II and/or Type III expansion sockets. The DSP-100 is a PCMCIA Type II (5 mm) card and is PCMCIA PC Card Standard Specification 2.1 compliant.

  • Page 7: Dos/Windows 3

    DOS support is not guaranteed. Two configuration software programs are provided with the DSP-100: a Client Driver, and a card Enabler. Both of these programs are executed from DOS (before entering Windows) and allow operation of the DSP-100 in both the DOS and Windows 3.x environments.

  • Page 8: Dsp-100 Client Driver For Dos

    2.1 DSP-100 Client Driver for DOS In order to use the DSP-100 Client Driver, the system must be configured with Card and Socket Services software. Card and Socket Services software is not provided with the DSP-100 but is available from Quatech.

  • Page 9: Command Line Options

    Card and Socket Services. Iirq specifies the interrupt level (IRQ) of the DSP-100 in decimal. irq must be one of the following values: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, or 0 if no IRQ is desired. If this option is omitted, an interrupt level will be assigned by Card and Socket Services.
  • Page 10 In example 4, a single command line argument is provided. Because the parameter order is not significant, the Client Driver will attempt to configure a DSP-100 inserted into any socket with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. If address 300H or IRQ 5 is unavailable, the DSP-100 will not be configured.

  • Page 11: Common Problems

    DSP-100 is to be installed. In this example, the Client Driver will attempt to configure a DSP-100 inserted into socket 0 with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. If the DSP-100 is inserted into socket 1, the Client Driver will attempt to configure it with base address 340H and IRQ 10.

  • Page 12: Dsp-100 Enabler For Dos

    Some versions of Card and Socket Services dated before 1993 do not support general purpose I/O cards. If after careful installation of the Client Driver the DSP-100 does not configure or operate properly, an updated version of Card and Socket Services may be required. Card and Socket Services software is available from Quatech.

  • Page 13: Command Line Options

    Iirq specifies the interrupt level (IRQ) of the DSP-100 in decimal. irq must be one of the following values: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, or 0 if no IRQ is desired. This option is required if the 'R' option is not used.
  • Page 14 2.2.1.2 Example 2 DSP130EN.EXE (s0,b300,i5) In example 2, the Enabler will configure the DSP-100 in socket 0 with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5 using a configuration memory window at segment D000. 2.2.1.3 Example 3 DSP130EN.EXE (i10,h,b340,s1)

  • Page 15: Common Problems

    2.2.1.5 Example 5 DSP130EN.EXE (o1,i5,b340,s1) In example 2, the Enabler will configure the DSP-100 in socket 1 with a base address of 340H and IRQ 5 using a configuration memory window at segment D000. 2.2.1.6 Example 6 DSP130EN.EXE (s0,b300,i5,r) In example 6, the Enabler will release the configuration used by the DSP-100 in socket 0 using a configuration memory window at segment D000.
  • Page 16 Card and Socket Services Software: In order to use the DSP-100 Enabler for DOS, the system MUST NOT be configured with Card and Socket Services software. If a Card and Socket Services software is installed, the Enabler may interfere with its operation and with the device(s) it controls. For systems configured with Card and Socket Services, the DSP-100 Client Driver is the recommended method of configuration.

    A problem noted on some systems is after a basic configuration has been manually selected the basic configurations list for the DSP-100 is no longer available. The solution to this problem is to check the “Use Automatic Settings” box and allow Windows 95/98/ME to reconfigure the DSP-100 card.
  • Page 20 Base I/O Address Resource Modification Not Allowed: The DSP-100 is configured to allow only a fixed number of base I/O addresses. To change the I/O address resources for the DSP-100 select another “Basic Configuration”. Refer to the Basic Configurations table for a list of the availabe I/O address resources for the DSP-100.
