Figure 2 - DIP-Switch SW2 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 PCIO Page 2... -
Page 7: Parallel Port Address Selection
DIP-switch. The port is enabled with the switch ‘On’ or ‘Closed’ and disabled when ‘Off’ or ‘Open’. If any port is disabled, be sure to disable the interrupt request for that port by removing the IRQ jumper. Sealevel Systems PCIO Page 3... -
Page 8: Irq Selection
The multi interrupt mode allows you to share the IRQ signal(s) with other cards that support multiple interrupts. The ‘M’ and ‘N’ selections for the serial port are under ‘SP’ and labeled ‘PP’ for the parallel Port. Sealevel Systems PCIO Page 4... -

Install the parallel port as a standard Windows parallel port. Other Operating Systems Refer to the appropriate section of the Serial Utilities Software. Install the parallel port as a standard parallel port by following your operating system’s instructions Sealevel Systems PCIO Page 7... -
Page 12: Technical Description
• Support for non-standard baud rates available. These baud rates (such as 31.25K or 76.8K baud) are supported by installing a different oscillator. Please consult Sealevel Systems Technical Support for more information Modem Control Signal Considerations Some software packages require the use of the modem handshake signals such as CTS or DCD. -

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 IRQ’s, many other adapters (i.e. SCSI adapters & on-board serial ports) do not. The IRQ is typically selected via an on-board header block. - Page 17 2E8-2EF is typically reserved for COM4: 7. Please refer to your included diskette for any post production manual updates and application specific information. 8. Always use the Sealevel Systems diagnostic software when Troubleshooting a problem. This will eliminate the software issue from the equation.

Page 19: Appendixc - Electrical Interface
-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. -
