RS-485 as RTS enable or RTS block mode transfer. One of the unique features of the ULTRA COMM+I.LPCI is the ability to be RS-485 compatible without the need for special software or drivers. This ability is especially useful in Operating Systems where the lower level I/O control is abstracted from the application program. -
Page 6: Clock Modes
Card Setup Clock Modes The ULTRA COMM+I.LPCI employs a unique clocking option that allows the end user to select from divide by 4 and divide by 1 clocking modes. These modes are selected at switches SW-2. To select the Baud rates commonly associated with COM: ports (i.e. 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2, … 115.2K Bps) set switch position 2 to the ‘On’... - Page 7 The following table shows some common data rates and the rates you should choose to achieve them when using the ULTRA COMM+I.LPCI in the D1 mode. If the O/S of choice is Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT/XP, the oscillator value (14.7456 MHz) should entered into the ‘Advanced Tab’ on 95/98/Me/2000/XP Device Manager applet. When using Windows NT, the ‘Advanced Ports’...

Gently insert the PCI adapter into the slot. Make sure that the adapter is seated properly. Replace the screw. (This is required to ensure FCC Part 15 compliance.) Replace the cover. Connect the power cord Installation is finished. Sealevel Systems ULTRA COMM+I.LPCI Page 7... -
Page 10: Technical Description
Technical Description Technical Description The Sealevel Systems ULTRA COMM+I.LPCI provides a PCI interface adapter with an isolated asynchronous serial port providing a versatile interface, field selectable as RS-232 for modems, printers and plotters, as well as RS-422/485 for industrial automation and control applications. Isolation is important in installations where the equipment being connected to the PC is either far from the PC, or on a different power transformer circuit. -

(ground) to determine binary logic states. The RS-232 and the EIA/TIA-574 specification define two types of interface circuits, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE). The ULTRA COMM+I.LPCI is a DTE device. RS-422 The RS-422 specification defines the electrical characteristics of balanced voltage digital interface circuits. RS-422 is a differential interface that defines voltage levels and driver/receiver electrical specifications. -
Page 15: Appendixd - Ground Loop Phenomenon
Cabling Recommendations When connecting the ULTRA COMM+I.LPCI in a RS-485 network, care should be taken that both ends of the network are not isolated from ground (see Figure 8). This “floating” ground condition could cause the capacitive or inductive coupling of voltages that will cause a break down in the DC to DC converter circuit or in the opto-isolator circuit. -
