  • Page 2: General Information

    The QSCLP-100 is supported under several popular operating systems and environments. Contact the sales department for details on current software offerings. Most device drivers are available for download from the Quatech world wide web site at http://www.quatech.com. QSCLP-100 User's Manual...

  • Page 3: Hardware Configuration

    2 Hardware Configuration The QSCLP-100 is automatically configured at boot time by the computer's BIOS or operating system. There are no required switches or jumpers to set for installation. This chapter lists a number of optional jumper settings that control various hardware features.

  • Page 7: Address Map And Special Registers

    QSCLP-100. 4.1 Base Address and Interrupt Level (IRQ) The base address and IRQ used by the QSCLP-100 are determined by the BIOS or operating system. Each serial port uses 8 consecutive I/O locations. The four ports reside in a single block of I/O space in eight byte increments, for a total of 32 contiguous bytes, as shown in Figure 5.

  • Page 8: Enabling The Special Registers

    Reading the Interrupt Status Register will return the interrupt status of the entire QSCLP-100, as shown in Figure 7. The individual bits are cleared as the interrupting ports are serviced. The interrupt service routine should ensure that the interrupt status register reads zero before exiting.

  • Page 9: Options Register

    Figure 9--- Options Register bit definitions 4.4.1 Enhanced Serial Adapter Identification The ID bits are used to identify the QSCLP-100 as a Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter. Logic operations are performed such that the values read back from these bits will not necessarily be the values that were written to them. Bit ID1 will return the logical-AND of the values written to ID[1:0], while bit ID0 will return their exclusive-OR.

  • Page 10: Clock Rate Multiplier

    At powerup and reset, the Options Register is initialized to 0. The QSCLP-100 will thus powerup in the x1 mode with software control of the clock rate multiplier enabled as long as the X2, X4, and X8 jumpers are not installed.

  • Page 19: Other Operating Systems

    6 Other Operating Systems Device drivers for Windows NT and OS/2 are also available for the QSCLP-100. The board can be used under DOS and other operating systems as well in many circumstances. The software described below can be downloaded from the Quatech web site if it did not come with the board.
  • Page 20 This program should be run from real DOS, not in a Windows DOS box. Figure 13 shows the Basic Mode display for the QSCLP-100 after the "Q" key has been pressed. In this example, the QSCLP-100 uses I/O base address FF80 hex and IRQ 11.
