If you encounter any problem during the installation, please refer to the “Troubleshooting” chapter. Chapter 1 Introduction Overview and features of the Industio CI-132 Series boards, list of items and overall installation guide. Chapter 2 Hardware Installation Hardware installation for the Industio CI-132 Series boards and connection cable. Hardware configuration utility, Io-irq.exe, is detailed.
Industio - The Industrial Multiport Async Solution The term Industio stands for smart multiport serial I/O solution for industrial applications. The Industio CI-132 Series boards, including CI-132, CI-132I and CI-132IS, are designed for 16-bit ISA/EISA bus. They offer 2 independent RS- 422/RS-485 serial ports for connecting data acquisition equipment and many other serial devices to the PC and its compatible systems.

Only one Industio CI-132 Series board is allowed to install in a system. Windows NT and 95/98 are the only operating systems supported. CAP Jumper JP1 is short and I/O address 0xA700 must be free.
Quick Hardware Installation To fully utilize the superior feature of flexible hardware configuration design of the Industio CI-132 Series, a quick and easy method of installation is designed, which absolutely saves you from hardware configuration effort, i.e., installation WITHOUT running configuration program: Io-irq.exe. Simply always short the jumper JP1.
IRQ : INT Vector : 0x1C0 Because the ASIC-designed Industio CI-132 Series has no switch and no jumper for configuring manually the I/O address, IRQ, INT Vector, etc. of the boards, you must run the software utility, Io-irq.exe, in the driver diskette under DOS system to change the hardware configuration.
Io-irq program before inserting the next board. This is to prevent conflict between two boards with same default hardware settings. The Industio CI-132 Series has the following default (factory) settings, I/O address : 0x180 (1st port), 0x188 (2nd port) IRQ : 10...
