2.1 What You Have In addition to this User's Manual, the package includes the following items: • cPCI-3534/3544/3538 Serial Communication Interface Module • Expansion Cable (C425M, C409M or C825M, C809M) • R-3534/3538 Rear I/O Daughter Board (For the rear I/O version) •...
2.2 Unpacking Your serial communication module contains sensitive electronic components that can be easily damaged by static electricity. The module should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat.
2.3 Installation Procedure Turn off your cPCI computer system. Turn off all accessories (printer, modem, monitor, etc.) connected to computer. Select a cPCI slot. Before handling the serial communication module, discharge any static buildup on your body by touching the metal case of the computer.
BIOS. The address assignment is done on a board-by-board basis for all serial communication cards in the system. The jumper SW1-1 for cPCI-3534 and the JP1 for cPCI-3538 is used for the system to recognize the first or second card of the same model in the system if there are two of the same cards on the board.
Go to the end of this list and select <Other> requires disk from manufacturer. When prompted for the path, specify the drive and directory where the NCPA can find the new driver for the card installed. For cPCI-3534, specify as follows: X:\NuCOM\CPCI3534\NT4 For cPCI-3544, specify as follows: X:\NuCOM\CPCI3544\NT4...

When two of the same type of serial communication cards are required to be installed in one NT system, confirm to let one card’s SW1-1 is ON while the other card’s SW1-1 is OFF for cPCI-3534 and JP1 is ON while the other card’s JP1 is OFF for cPCI-3538.

The driver does not need to be installed again, Windows 95/98 will add the COM port automatically. You can install up to two cPCI-3534/3538 cards on one 95/98 system. When two of the same type of cards are required to be installed on one 95/98 system, confirm to let one card’s switch to be ON, and...

As the resource will be assigned by PCI BIOS, it is relatively difficult to check which card is first card or second card from resource. For this reason, ADLINK has placed a jumper in each cPCI-3534/3538 card to set the first card or second card for this these comport cards. (cPCI-3544 does not include this function).

UNPACK Decompress the pci3544.tgz (pci3544.tgz is located in “X:\SerialComm \cPCI-3544 \Linux” directory; X is the CD-ROM.)) : tar xvzf pci3544.tgz This will extract the 'cPCI_3544' directory in the Linux. There are two subdirectories as follows: drivers/ contains the device module and the installation script util/...

or simply execute the following command if the device module is in the current directory. ./3544_inst.pl -cards 3 The optional parameter '-path' is used to indicate the directory of pci-3544package. If the cPCI-3544 driver can not be found in working directory, the optional parameter '-path' is required. ./3544_inst.pl -cards 2 -path /usr/local/pci_3544 After installing the devices successfully, the ports of cPCI-3544 can be used as the normal serial ports supported by Linux.

2.5.5 Windows 95/98/NT Utility Diagram for cPCI-3544 The cPCI-3534/3538 does not require any configuration utility. It is similar to the system COM ports. The cPCI-3544 is a 4-Port RS-422/485 serial communication module. It supports the software configuration for RS-422/485. When choosing the RS-422 mode, the RS-485 port would be disabled automatically.
