  • Page 5: 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.
  • Page 6 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.
  • Page 7 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.

  • Page 8: 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. Turn off PC power. Disconnect the power cord.

  • Page 9: 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. The memory range of this adapter is configured to reside in the lower 1Megabyte of memory and appears to the system as a bank switched 16K window.
