Page 12: Technical Description
Technical Description The Sealevel Systems UltraCOMM+2i.PCIe provides a PCIE interface adapter with 2 optically isolated asynchronous serial ports which provide a versatile interface, field selectable as RS-232 for modems, printers, and plotters, as well as RS-422/485 for industrial automation and control applications. Isolation is important in installations where the equipment being connected to the PC is either far from the PC, or on a different power transformer circuit. -

Appendix A – Troubleshooting Once you have confirmed that the serial adapter COM ports are listed in Device Manager, use the Sealevel WinSSD utility to verify communications. Detailed help is included in the WinSSD utility. Please set the adapters Electrical Interface for either RS-232 or RS-422. - Page 15 Change your parameters to 9600 bits per second, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control, as pictured below. Click ‘Apply’ and ‘OK’. In the main WinSSD window, click on the ‘BERT’ tab (Bit Error Rate test). Click on the ‘Start’ button. © Sealevel Systems, Inc. 7203e Manual | SL9238 10/2022...
