    Introduction 1.1 About the Serial Communication Modules The serial communication modules are intelligent serial input/output multi-port controller cards, which are with the new generation of PC platform CompactPCI. The modules can reduce the interval for serial communication controller to interrupt main CPU on the mainboard to improve the whole system performance.

    2.1 What You Have In addition to this User's Manual, the package includes the following items: • cPCI-3938 Serial Communication Controller Module • Software Utility CD or Disks • cPCI-6968/cPCI-6969 Expansion Module If any of these items is missing or damaged, contact the dealer from whom you purchased the product.
  • Page 12: Installation Procedure

    Inspect the module carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to your module. Be sure there are no shipping and handing damages on the module before processing. After opening the module carton, extract the system module and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface component side up.
  • Page 13: Hardware Configuration

    2.4 Hardware Configuration The serial communication module has plug and play component, the card can requests memory usage (I/O port locations) of the card which is assigned by system BIOS. The address assignment is done on a board-by-board basis for all serial communication cards in the system. The jumper JP1 for the serial communication card 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.
  • Page 14: Unix/Xenix Installation

    8. When you need to install two same type serial communication cards in one NT system, you must confirm to let one card’s jumper JP1 is ON while the other card’s jumper JP1 is OFF. 9. The card with jumper ON will have low COM port number. The card with jumper OFF will have higher COM port number follow the card with jumper ON.

  • Page 24 Because RS-422 interface do not use DTR/DSR/DCD signal, user may not use DTR/DSR handshake and DCD signal checking function in its application, these signals are in inactive condition for RS-422 interface. RS-485 interface application note: RS-485 interface is used for multi-drop half-duplex application. Because we had put auto-direction capability in the box, user may not use RTS signal to control the data direction.
