PC215E
2.5 Software Installation
To install the PC215E software onto your hard disk, insert disk 1 into drive A: and select
‘File|Run...’ from the Windows Program Manager, or, if you are using Windows 95, select
‘Run...’ from the Start menu. In the dialogue box that follows, type
A:\SETUP <RETURN>
The PC215E software installation program will now run. Follow the instructions on the screen to
complete the installation. See section 6 ‘Programming The PC215E’ for information on running
the software.
2.6 Configuration Switch and Jumper Settings
Before installing this board in the host computer, the configuration needs to be set to the user's
requirements. Setting is by means of an on-board in-line switch and a pluggable jumper whose
functions are described below.
2.6.1 Base Address Selection
The base address of the PC215E can be selected in the range 000 to FF0
16
. If more than one
PC215E is installed in a single PC, each board must have a different base address and these
will be separated by at least 32 bytes. It is normally convenient to have the base addresses at
contiguous even locations. The factory default base address is 300
16
.
Conflict of I/O addresses with other devices in the host PC or fitted adaptors is a common cause
of operational problems and care should be taken to ensure that the PC215E base address is
chosen where no port assignment is in contention.
The board’s base address is set by switch SW1. This switch bank comprises a row of eight
single-pole, single-throw switches with each 'up' or 'ON' position selecting a logic 1, and each
'down' or 'OFF' position selecting a logic 0. The most significant hex digit of the base address is
coded by the four most left switches, and the middle hex digit is coded by the four most right
switches of SW1. The least significant hex digit is always 0.
Figure 3 below shows the factory default setting of 300

Most significant digit 0011 = 3

Middle digit 000 = 0
