Figure 2 - DIP-Switch Illustration Note: Setting the switch "On" or "Closed" corresponds to a "0" in the address, while leaving it "Off" or "Open" corresponds to a "1". Refer to Appendix A for common address contentions. Sealevel Systems Dual SIO Page 2...
Any two or more ports can share a common IRQ by placing the jumpers on the same IRQ setting if desired, due to a unique open collector/pull-up IRQ drive circuit. Consult your particular software for IRQ selection. If no interrupt is desired, remove the jumper. Sealevel Systems Dual SIO Page 3...
RS-485. For normal point to point RS-422, such as terminal emulation, remove this jumper. Figure 4 shows both ports configured for RS-422 operation. Figure 4 - Header E3 and E4, RS-485 Enable Sealevel Systems Dual SIO Page 4...
3. Locate an available slot and remove the blank metal slot cover. 4. Gently insert the Dual SIO into the slot. Make sure that the adapter is seated properly. 5. Replace the screw. 6. Replace the cover. 7. Connect the power cord. Installation is complete. Sealevel Systems Dual SIO Page 5...
