- Page 5 The PCL-858A/858B serial ports are implemented using 16C554 UARTs which makes serial I/O more reliable. The PCL-858 series support all eight ports can be set the address automatically. All channels share the same interrupt (IRQ), and interrupt status register is available for determining the interrupt source.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation... - Page 13 Interrupt 280H Next, you will need to select an IRQ (interrupt request) number, and an I/O base address for the PCL-858. For base address specify the I/O address of the first port and subse- quent ports are set continuous base addresses by the offset of 8 bytes.
- Page 14 Address 338H Select an address which is not already in use by another card in the system. If you are installing more than one PCL-858 card in your system, set the card to different base address. DIP switch(SW1) controls each card’s base address, as shown below.
- Page 15 Select an IRQ which is not already in use by another card in the system. If you are installing more than one PCL-858, set them to different IRQ number. Jumper Bank JP1 controls the card IRQ. Simply place the jumper on the interrupt level as shown in the following figure.
- Page 16 Interrupt Status Register SW2 Function Port1 Port2 Port3 Port4 Port5 Port6 Port7 Port8 The user may change the interrupt status address via SW2. Please note the address decorder will occupy a continuous, 8-bytes area related to switch setting. For example, if you set the switch to 210H, then the address 210H to 217H will all be decoded.
- Page 17 The PCL-858 employs a unique speed option that allows the user to choose either normal speed mode (1x) or high speed mode (8x). This high speed mode is selected at SW2. To select the baud rate commonly associated with COM ports , such as 2400, 4800, 9600.
- Page 19 In this part, utility installation, configuration and upgrade/ removal procedure are described. IOCM Utility software package is stated for both Windows 95/98 and NT environments.
