2 2 Hardware Installation Installing Smartio C168H/PCI consists of both hardware and software installation. This chapter describes how to install the hardware, and in the next chapter, we discuss software installation. The no-switch/no-jumper Smartio C168H/PCI board hardware configuration is straightforward, since the IRQ number and I/O addresses are automatically assigned by the PCI BIOS. This means that the board MUST be plugged in before installing the driver software.
Step 8: Note ! Turn on your PC. The BIOS will automatically assign the IRQ and memory address. Each board must occupy one unique IRQ and one unique memory address, assigned automatically by the PCI BIOS. You may, however, use the PC's PCI-slot BIOS setup to manually assign a free IRQ number. This method, however, is usually not available to assign the memory address. The IRQ numbers that can be used are 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 15. The I/O addresses that can be used range from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF.
Hardware Installation Opt8A/Opt8B/Opt8S Plug one end of the DB62 cable into Smartio C168H/PCI’s DB62 bracket connector, and then carefully tighten the attachment screws. After that, plug the other end of the cable into the RS-232 connection box's DB62 connector. Note that both ends of the cable are identical. Smartio C168H/PCI Opt8A/Opt8B/Opt8S Opt8C/Opt8D Plug one end of the DB62 cable into Smartio C168H/PCI’s DB62 bracket connector, and then carefully tighten the attachment screws.
Opt8J/Opt8F/Opt8Z Plug one end of the DB62 cable into Smartio C168H/PCI’s DB62 bracket connector, and then carefully tighten the attachment screws. After that, plug the other end of the cable into the RS-232 connection box's DB62 connector. Note that both ends of the cable are identical. Don't forget to attach the Opt8J/F/Z’s power adapter.
Hardware Installation RS-422 Mode Set the DIP switch to the OFF position to use the RS-422 interface. This means that the port is set to full-duplex; i.e., it is always ready to simultaneously transmit and receive data. RS-485 Mode Set the DIP switch to the ON position to use 2-wire RS-485 communication. This means that the port is set to half-duplex; i.e., it can transmit data only when RTS is asserted, and can receive data only when RTS is not asserted.
