Page 5: Chapter 1: Introduction
“Auto RTS (referred to by some as Auto RS485)” mode or as a “4 wire RS485 mode channel. The card is 6.60 inches long and may be installed in 3.3 or 5-volt PCI-bus slots of IBM PC or compatible computers. The card features eight independent, asynchronous serial ports, type 16788 buffered UARTs. -
Page 6: Rs485 Balanced Mode Operation
100 percent compatibility with the original IBM serial port. The system assigns the address(es). A crystal oscillator is located on the card. This oscillator permits precise selection of baud rate up to 115,200 or, by changing a jumper, up to 921,600 with the standard crystal oscillator. -
Page 7: Auto-Rts Transceiver Control
The card automatically adjusts it's timing to the baud rate of the data. (NOTE: Thanks to the automatic control feature, the card is ideal for use in Windows applications) Figure 1-1: Block Diagram (Only one serial channel shown) Manual LPCI-COM-8SM... -

In DOS, the PCI\SOURCE directory shows the BIOS calls used to determine the address and IRQ assigned to installed PCI devices. In Windows, the Windows sample programs demonstrate querying the registry entries (created by PCIFind and NTIOPCI.SYS during boot-up) to determine this same information. Manual LPCI-COM-8SM... -

Also, for RS485 operation, there must be a bias on the TRX+ and TRX- lines. If the card is not to provide that bias, contact the factory technical support. Data Cable Wiring RS-485 Signal Pin Connection Ain/out+ Ain/out- 100 Ω to Ground Manual LPCI-COM-8SM... -

Auto RTS function into the appropriate channel(s) of the UART. If the state of this jumper is changed, the UART will not be properly programmed until the jumper has been reread. To do this, the card must be reset. Manual LPCI-COM-8SM... -
Page 15: Chapter 4: Address Selection
PCIFind uses the Vendor ID and Device ID to search for your card, then reads the base address and IRQ. If you want to determine the base address and IRQ yourself, use the following information. The Vendor ID for the card is 494F. (ASCII for "IO") The Device ID for the card is 10E8h. Manual LPCI-COM-8SM... -
Page 16: Chapter 5: Programming
►SetupComm(), SetCommTimeouts(), GetCommState(), and SetCommState() to set and change a port’s settings. ►ReadFile() and WriteFile() for accessing a port. See the documentation for your chosen language for details. Under DOS, the process is identical to programming any 16550- or 16750-compatible UART. Manual LPCI-COM-8SM... -

*These are theoretical maximums based on typical conditions and good quality cables, based on the EIA 485 and EIA 422 standard for balanced differential drivers. The maximum cable length allowable for RS-232 communications is 50 feet due to single-ended line driver signaling. Table 5-1: Baud Rate Divisor Values Manual LPCI-COM-8SM... -
Page 18: Chapter 6: Connector Pin Assignments
RS485 (2 wire) requires the installation of jumpers on the card to properly connect these pins. When using the spider cable, the appropriate DB 9 connectors will have pin 1 connected to pin 3 and pin 2 is connected to pin 9. Manual LPCI-COM-8SM... -

If the differential voltage input is less than -200 mV, the receiver will provide the opposite logic state on its output. A maximum operating voltage range is from +6V to -6V allows for voltage attenuation that can occur on long transmission cables. Manual LPCI-COM-8SM... -

You do not have to add a terminator resistor to your cables when you use the card. Termination resistors for the RX+ and RX- lines are provided on the card and are placed in the circuit when you install the Ch X - LD jumpers. (See the Option Selection section of this manual.)
