Card Setup
Address and IRQ selection
The COMM+850.LPCI is automatically assigned resources by your motherboard BIOS. Only the I/O address may
be modified by the user.
Adding or removing other hardware may change the assignment of I/O addresses and IRQs.
Clock Modes
The COMM+850.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 Header J1.
To select the Baud rates commonly associated with COM: ports (i.e. 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2, … 115.2K bps ) place
the jumper in the divide by 4 mode (silk-screen D4) position.
To select the maximum data rates up to 460.8K bps place the jumper in the divide by 1 (silk-screen D1) position.
Please refer to the following page for these additional data rates.
Baud Rates and Divisors for the ‘D1’ mode
The following table shows some common data rates and the rates you should choose if using the adapter in the ‘D1’
mode.
For this Data Rate Choose this Data Rate
1200 bps 300 bps
2400 bps 600 bps
4800 bps 1200 bps
