  • Page 31 Unpacking Your serial communication card contains sensitive electronic components that can be easily damaged by static electricity. The card 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.
  • Page 32 Installation Procedure Turn off your computer Turn off all accessories (printer, modem, monitor, etc.) connected to computer. Remove the cover from your computer. Select a 32-bit PCI expansion slot. Caution! Don‘t put PCI card into ISA or EISA slot. Before handling the serial communication card, discharge any static buildup on your body by touching the metal case of the computer.
  • Page 33 Hardware Configuration The serial communication card has plug and play component, the card can requests memory usage (I/O port locations) of the card which is assigned by system BIOS. The address assignment is done on a board-by-board basis for all serial communication cards in the system. The jumper JP1 for the serial communication card is used for the system to recognize the first or second card of the same model in the system if there are two cards of the same on board.

  • Page 35 Now, you can follow the configuration dialog boxes to install the driver. In the default condition, the TTY port is given name from “COM3”. User can specify the start “COM” port number in installation procedure. We can install up to two same type serial communication cards in one NT system.
  • Page 36 2.5.2 Windows 95/98 Installation Once Windows 95/98 system has been started, the plug & play function in 95/98 system will find the new serial communication card. If this is the first time to install serial communication card in your Windows 95/98 system, you will be informed to install the driver.
  • Page 37 If you install two same type serial communication cards with jumper ON or OFF simultaneously, we can not confirm that both cards will active properly. If you install multiple cards in one 95/98 system simultaneously, please confirm that the COM port number assigned do not overlap for different card.

  • Page 44 Expansion/Isolation Box User Guide Introduction An APU is the kernel of a serial communication controller system. It can manage up to 8 pieces of F641/F642 box. The APU communicates with the MPU via dual port RAM and processes the data transfer between MPU and I/O devices.
  • Page 45 Each port has two bit DIP switch to set for RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 interface. In RS-485 mode, we had auto data direction function to maintain no local echo condition, but user may still need to maintain just only one port to output data, so RS-485 mode must be used in half-duplex transmission environment.
