CHAPTER 3: Configuration 3. Configuration The 4-Port Card Serial Host Adapter with ISP contains several jumper straps that must be set for proper operation. 3.1 Address Selection Each port on the 4-Port Card Serial Host Adapter with ISP occupies eight consecutive I/O locations. - Page 15 4-PORT CARD SERIAL HOST ADAPTER WITH ISP There’s also a second mode of address selection. In this mode, the DIP switch sets the base address and the Adapter occupies 32 consecutive I/O locations. The table below illustrates the location of each port and its relationship to the other ports. NOTE For switches 1–5 to become active, switches 6, 7, and 8 must be set in the “On”...

Page 17: Interrupt Modes
4-PORT CARD SERIAL HOST ADAPTER WITH ISP NOTE Most DOS communications software applications default COM3: to IRQ4 and COM4: to IRQ3. This requires the sharing of interrupts between COM1: and COM3:, and between COM2: and COM4:. While this is the default, it is not always the best setting. -
Page 18: Clock Modes
CHAPTER 3: Configuration Set the jumpers to “S” for shared interrupt mode on all blocks sharing an IRQ except one. Set that port block for “M.” This provides the pull-down resistor circuit that makes sharing IRQs possible. If you are using more than one 4-Port Card Serial Host Adapter with ISP or a compatible adapter in a bus, you should only have one port set to “M.”... - Page 19 4-PORT CARD SERIAL HOST ADAPTER WITH ISP To select the baud rates commonly associated with COM ports (for example, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2,...115.2 Kbps) place the jumper in the divide by 4 mode (silk- screened DIV4). DIV1 DIV2 DIV4 Figure 3-5. Clocking mode “Divide By 4.” To double these rates up to a maximum rate of 230.4 Kbps, place the jumper in the divide by 2 (silk-screened DIV2) position.

CHAPTER 4: Installation 4. Installation The 4-Port Card Serial Host Adapter with ISP can be installed in any of the PC expansion slots. The Adapter contains several jumper straps for each port that must be set for proper operation—see Chapter 3. IMPORTANT You MUST set up the operating system BEFORE you physically install the Card. - Page 23 4. Gently insert the Adapter into the slot. Make sure that the Adapter is seated properly. 5. For the IC102C-R2 or IC180C connect the DB37 female connector end of the octopus cable to the DB37 male connector on the card.

4-PORT CARD SERIAL HOST ADAPTER WITH ISP Appendix A. The RS-232 Interface Quite possibly the most widely used communication standard is RS-232. This implementation has been defined and revised several times and is often referred to as RS-232-C/D/E or EIA/TIA-232-C/D/E. It is defined as “Interface between Data Terminal Equipment and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment Employing Serial Binary Data Interchange.”... -
Page 26: Appendix B: Asynchronous Communications
APPENDIX B: Asynchronous Communications Appendix B. Asynchronous Communications Serial data communications implies that individual bits of a character are transmitted consecutively to a receiver that assembles the bits back into a character. Data rate, error checking, handshaking, and character framing (start/stop bits) are pre-defined and must correspond at both the transmitting and receiving ends. - Page 27 4-PORT CARD SERIAL HOST ADAPTER WITH ISP 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 method of determining 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.
