Introduction
Determining PCI Resources.
Windows 3.x Driver Installation.
PCI Quad 422/485 Card
The Windows 3.x installation procedure consists of two steps after the PCI
RS422/485 card is inserted:
1. Determining the resources that the PCI RS422/485 card has claimed.
2.Informing Windows 3.x of those resources.
Whenever certain values have been entered or changed in the hardware settings
window, a message prompting to restart Windows will appear. Only after having
made ALL the necessary changes restart Windows so that the new settings come
into effect.
Insert the card into a PC, as described in Chapter 3 .
Run BBCARDS.EXE, from the supplied "Serial Solutions CDROM" by typing
the following:
D:\diskimg\ssutil\pci\BBCARDS
Where D:\ is the Letter of your CDROM drive
BBCARDS.EXE will return a string that looks similar to the following (values
contained in the string may differ in individual PC's due to resource availability):
card 1 is on bus 0, device 16, function 0
Card ID=5, revision 1: Quad Opto RS422/485
interrupt line 11 has been assigned
4 sets of 16550-compatible registers
are at I/O address 0140
Baud clock control is at I/O address 02d0
Write 0xf6 for /8 (default), 0xf2 for /4, 0xd6 for /2,
0xd2 for /1.
Note down IRQ and I/O which in this case:
The IRQ = 11
The I/O address = 0140
Place the supplied Serial Solutions CDROM in a suitable drive. From File
Manager choose 'Run' and enter D:\diskimg\sswin3x\setup (where D:
