256K of on board memory, higher data rates are achieved without increasing processor overhead. What’s Included The ROUTE 56 is shipped with the following items. If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact the supplier. • ROUTE 56 Adapter •...
Card Setup Card Setup The ROUTE 56 contains several jumper straps for each port, which must be set for proper operation. Address Selection The ROUTE 56 adapter occupies a total of eight consecutive I/O locations. A DIP-switch is used to set the base address for these locations. Be careful when selecting the base address as some selections conflict with existing PC ports.
Card Setup Interface Selection The Route 56 supports a variety of electrical interfaces. These interfaces may be selected in two ways. The determining bit is found at Base+5, bit position D4, and is identified as IFSEL (InterFace SELect). Reference the Control/Status Register Descriptions, found in the Technical Description section of this manual for this bit description.
Card Setup IRQ Selection Header E1 is used to select the interrupt request for each the Route 56. In the example below, IRQ12 is selected. This setting must be made prior to installing the adapter. Please query your system to determine the best available IRQ to use.
Installation Installation The ROUTE 56 can be installed in any of the 16-bit ISA expansion slots. The ROUTE 56 contains several jumper straps for each port, which must be set for proper operation. 1. Turn off PC power. Disconnect the power cord.
Technical Description The Sealevel Systems ROUTE 56 adapter was designed for seamless integration into any ISA based system. The ROUTE 56 adapter requires a 80286 or higher CPU, one IRQ, a 8 byte block of I/O address and a 16K block of memory address.
Technical Description IUSC™ The ROUTE 56 adapter is based on a single Zilog Z16C32 IUSC (Integrated Universal Serial Controller). Application and driver software access the IUSC registers through the first 256 bytes of on-board RAM. Register access to the IUSC can be disabled via I/O registers allowing the first 256 bytes of RAM to be used for buffer storage.

No two adapters can occupy the same I/O address. 3. Make sure the Sealevel Systems adapter is using a unique IRQ. While the Sealevel Systems adapter does allow the sharing of IRQs, many other adapters (i.e. SCSI adapters and on-board serial ports) do not. The IRQ is typically selected via an on-board header block.
If possible, please have the adapter installed in a computer ready to run diagnostics. 3. Sealevel Systems maintains a Home page on the Internet. Our home page address is www.sealevel.com.

-12 volts (-3 to -10 volts) denotes a binary 1 (mark). The RS-232 and the EIA/TIA-574 specification defines two type of interface circuits, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE). The Sealevel Systems adapter is a DTE interface. RS-422 The RS-422 specification defines the electrical characteristics of balanced voltage digital interface circuits.

530A lies in the modem control interface signals. In RS-530 the signals are differential, in RS-530A the signals are single ended. The RS-530 specification defines two types of interface circuits, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE). The Sealevel Systems adapter is a DTE interface. V.35 V.35 is a standard defined by ITU (formerly CCITT) that specifies an electrical,...
