Page 16: About This Manual
The part describing the driver is generic for all VScom PCI cards, the same in all manuals. It will describe options not available on your VScom H-Series Card. Just ignore such sections. Also Windows NT and even older versions of Windows operating system are mentioned. -

CN4. Make sure the orientation of the connector is correct, the colored ribbon has to be aligned with pin 1. The maximum bitrate of the VScom 400H UPCI is configured in exactly the same way as the 200H card, so please read in above. -
Page 18: Vscom 021H Pci
The second parallel port is connected via flat ribbon cable to the pin header. Make sure the orientation of the connector is correct, the colored ribbon has to be aligned with pin 1. February 2010 VScom H-Series Card User Manual... -
Page 19: Windows Driver
This chapter of the manual documents the drivers for Windows Operating Systems. The driver is basically the same for all the VScom PCI cards available, independent of the model. As one consequence there is only one driver for download, linked to from all the products. It does not matter which link you use. -

“Continue”. 12. Click on Finish. 13. Windows now detects the COM ports on the VScom H-Series Card. 14. If Windows requests the driver disk again, point to the directory named after your operating system, e.g. “Windows XP (32 bit)”. -

Page 25: Card And Port Configuration
4.2.1 Card and Ports in Device Manager The category where the VScom cards are installed is ‘Multi-port serial adapters’. And as expected there is the category of ‘Ports (COM & LPT)’ for the serial ports. Both categories are standard on Windows. -
Page 26: Cards And Ports In Device Manager
4 Windows Driver Figure 15: Cards and Ports in Device Manager Shown here are the data of some serial and parallel VScom cards in the Device Manager. There are many cards installed simultaneously, just to show this is possible. The 800EH is displayed as two items in ‘Multi-port serial adapters’. Because the H-series cards support two functions each card is listed as two devices. -
Page 27: Card Advanced Settings
4.2.2 Card Advanced Settings Open the properties of a card via the Device Manager, and select the “Advanced” tab. These are the advanced settings for a VScom card, a VScom 210L UPCI in this case. Figure 16: Card Advanced Properties This panel displays the ports of the card, and their assigned names in Windows. -
Page 28: Ports Configuration
The available functions of the serial ports depend on the type of UART implemented on the card. Cards with 16C550A type serial ports provide less configuration than the 16C950 UART. As a consequence some panels are just missing. This is not a sign of an error. February 2010 VScom H-Series Card User Manual... -
Page 29: Vscom Standard Port Settings
4 Windows Driver VScom Standard Port Settings Figure 18: Standard Settings This panel is well known to most users, it is similar to the panel used by the Microsoft driver for Com1/2. February 2010 VScom H-Series Card User Manual... -
Page 30: Vscom Advanced Port Settings
Figure 19: Advanced Settings 16C950 The VScom H- and E-series cards use a 16C950 UART to transmit data. This chip and the driver can emulate a variety of other UARTS. We suggest to use the standard value of 16950, the driver is optimized for this. - Page 31 Possible products with RS 422/485 line drivers can use such high bit rates. Since this option may reduce the transmission accuracy in certain environments, it is disabled by default. February 2010 VScom H-Series Card User Manual...

Page 32: Advanced Settings 16C550A
4 Windows Driver Figure 20: Advanced Settings 16C550A The VScom L-series cards have a 16C550A compatible UART for the serial ports. The Receive Trigger Level only prvides the four steps 1, 4, 8 and 14. There is no Transmit Trigger Level, hence this slider is disabled. - Page 33 16850 This is another UART model with 128/128 Byte FIFO. 16950 This is the native mode the ports on the VScom cards are used. In most situations it is better to use this mode, and restrict the options to a suitable configuration.

Page 35: Automatic Software Flow Control
Figure 23: Auto XON/XOFF This panel configures the On-Chip Software Flow Control provided by the UART. Only some UART types support the Flow Control directly on the chip. Use the 16950 emulation to allow rich possibilities. February 2010 VScom H-Series Card User Manual... - Page 36 This value must be higher than the Xon Trigger. Depending on the global situation (processor speed, system load, transmission parameters, transmitting device, ...) possible values can be: 32 (quarter of FIFO) for Xon and 64 (half) for Xoff.

files. In Windows NT drivers are installed, and fail to load if the hardware is not available. The VScom drivers for Windows NT implement the Plug & Play functions in a limited sense. There is a supervisor utility, restricted to detect VScom PCI cards. -
Page 40: Installing In Windows Nt
You need to have administrator privileges to install any new drivers under Windows NT 4.0. To install the driver or update the configuration please log on to Windows NT 4.0 as “Administrator” or ask your system administrator to install the VScom H-Series Card and driver. Please proceed with the following steps to install the driver: 1. -
Page 41: Configuration Via Control Panel
Figure 28: NT Device list This is the basic configuration panel for the VScom PCI driver in Windows NT 4.0; the lower check-box re-enables the automatic check for new hardware. Here is the place to revoke the change done in the detection panel. -
Page 42: Uninstall Drivers From Windows Nt
Click on the right tab, you can see all the detailed information of IRQ, Input/Output & Memory Range used by PCI Ports. Open the “VScom PCI” applet (see 4.3.1) in the control panel (Go there by Start - Setting - Control panel). Open “VS Cards” and double click on the detected controller to open the properties. -
Page 43: Linux Driver
If the VScom PCI card is known to the driver ’serial’, users do not have to do any extra configu- ration. The system detects the card, identifies it and installs additional ports. -
Page 44: New Models
5 Linux Driver 5.2.2 New Models If the model of VScom PCI card is new to the driver, users add the program vscardcfg to their init scripts. This program detects the cards and the assigned parameters. Since this program knows about all VScom PCI cards, it also knows the required parameters for the setserial command mentioned in section 5.1. -
