Once the card has been correctly configured then it can be
installed in the PC.
After installing the card and configuring the software the
cables should be attached and communication with the serial
peripheral devices should be established.
Provided that the RS232 installation is attacked in this
orderly manner, everything should work first time. If it does not
then check the software selectable communications parameters,
Baud rate, Parity, stop bits first, and that the communications
program is attempting to access the serial port installed. If this
fails to solve the problem check the cable connections. Finally
check that the card is indeed configured as you believed!
NOTE: Always turn the computer OFF before installing or
removing any interface board..!!!
After having made sure that the I/O address and if appropriate
jumpers are correctly set, now is the time to insert the PC Serial
card into the I/O connector slots in the computer.
STEP 1: Before the PC card can be installed the power to the PC
MUST be switched OFF!
STEP 2: Remove the case.
