- Page 7 DB9M connector. DB9 Female (RS-422) to DB9 Female (Opto 22 Optomux) Converter (Item# DB103) The DB103 is designed to convert a Sealevel DB9 male RS-422 connector to a DB9 female pinout compatible with AC24AT and AC422AT Opto 22 ISA bus cards. This allows Optomux devices to be controlled from any Sealevel RS-422 board with a DB9 male connector.

Some communication software packages refer to RS-485 as RTS enable or RTS block mode transfer. One of the unique features of the ULTRA COMM+422.PCI is the ability to be RS-485 compatible without the need for special software or drivers. This ability is especially useful in Windows, Windows NT, and OS/2 environments where the lower level I/O control is abstracted from the application program. - Page 10 Figure 3 - Headers J1B – J4B, RS-485 ‘Auto’ Enabled, with ‘Echo’ Figure 4 - Headers J1B – J4B, RS-485 ‘RTS’ Enabled, with ‘No Echo’ Figure 5 - Headers J1B – J4B, RS-485 ‘RTS’ Enabled, with ‘Echo’ © Sealevel Systems, Inc. 7402 Manual | SL9063 7/2021...
- Page 11 Each jumper position corresponds to a specific portion of the interface. If multiple ULTRA COMM+422.PCI adapters are configured in an RS-485 network, only the boards on each end should have jumpers T, P & P ON. Refer to the following table for each position’s operation:...
- Page 12 Clock Modes The ULTRA COMM+422.PCI employs a unique clocking option that allows the end user to select from divide by 4, divide by 2 and divide by 1 clocking modes. These modes are selected at Headers J1C through J4C. To select the Baud rates commonly associated with COM: ports (i.e., 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2, … 115.2K Bps) place the jumper in the divide by 4 mode (silk-screen DIV4).

Page 17: Technical Description
IRQ (short for Interrupt Request). In the early days of PCs Sealevel decided that the ability to share IRQs was an important feature for any add-in I/O card. Consider that in the IBM XT the available IRQs were IRQ0 through IRQ7. Of these interrupts only IRQ2-5 and IRQ7 were actually available for use. - Page 18 COMM+422.PCI will allow any one of the available locations to be read to obtain the value in the status register. Both status ports on the ULTRA COMM+422.PCI are identical, so any one can be read. Example: This indicates that Channel 2 has an interrupt pending.
