2.1 What You Have In addition to this User's Manual, the package includes the following items: ♦ cPCI-3534/3544/3538 Serial Communication Interface Module ♦ Expansion Cable (C425M, C409M or C825M, C809M) ♦...
2.2 Unpacking Your serial communication module contains sensitive electronic components that can be easily damaged by static electricity. The module should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat.
2.3 Installation Procedure Turn off your cPCI computer system. Turn off all accessories (printer, modem, monitor, etc.) connected to computer. Select a cPCI slot. Before handling the serial communication module, discharge any static buildup on your body by touching the metal case of the computer.
BIOS. The address assignment is done on a board-by-board basis for all serial communication cards in the system. The jumper SW1-1 for cPCI-3534 and the JP1 for cPCI-3538 is used for the system to recognize the first or second card of the same model in the system if there are two cards of the same on board.
<Other> requires disk from manufacturer. When prompted for the path, specify the drive and directory where the NCPA can find the new driver for the card you install. For cPCI-3534, we may specify as follow: X:\NuCOM\CPCI3534\NT4 For cPCI-3544, we may specify as follow:...

When you need to install two same type serial communication cards in one NT system, you must confirm to let one card’s SW1-1 is ON while the other card’s SW1-1 is OFF for cPCI-3534 and JP1 is ON while the other card’s JP1 is OFF for cPCI-3538. The same manner can be apply to cPCI-3544 with SW1-3 adjusting to different number.
You do not have to install the driver again, Windows 95/98 will add the COM port automatically. You can install up to two cPCI-3534/3538 cards in one 95/98 system. When you need to install two same type cards in one 95/98 system, you must confirm to let one card’s switch is ON, and the other...

2.5.4 Windows 95/98/NT Utility Diagram for cPCI-3544 The cPCI-3534/3538 doesn’t need any configuration utility. It just likes the system COM ports. The cPCI-3544 is a 4-Port RS-422/485 serial communication module. It supports the software configuration for RS-422/485. When choosing the RS-422 mode, the RS-485 port would be disabled automatically.
