Introduction The PCI8S9503V 8 Port PCI RS232 Serial Adapter Card High Speed 16950 (cable included) lets you connect up to 8 RS-232 serial devices to the host computer at data rates up to 921 Kbps, and can be installed in either a 3.3V or 5V PCI/PCI-X slot. The PCI4S9503V 4 Port PCI RS232 Serial Adapter Card High Speed 16950 (cable included) lets you connect up to 4 RS-232 serial devices to the host computer at transfer rates up to 921 Kbps, and can be installed in either a 3.3V or 5V PCI/PCI-X slot.
Installation Note: In one system, you can install two of these serial cards. You must differentiate between the two cards by using the jumper (located near the end of the card). The card with the jumper ON will be card number 1. The card with the jumper OFF will be card number 2. Install the cards one at a time, starting with the card you want to be designated number 1. Installing the Card 1. Make sure that your system is unplugged and you are grounded. 2.
Windows Vista/XP/2000 Once you turn your computer on after installing the card, Windows will automatically detect the new hardware. Follow the onscreen prompts and direct Windows to the appropriate folder on the driver disk Notes: • To change the COM port number: Windows will automatically assign the card a COM port number. If you need to specify another port number, you can use the setup utility included with the driver. Go to: Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager/Multi-Port Serial Adapter/Setup.
DOS When installing multiple cards in DOS, it is important to install the card designated card Number 1 (with the jumper ON) first. 1. Change your active directory to the target directory: ex: c:\RAYON 2. Insert the driver disk into the disk drive and copy the DOS files from the driver diskette: ex: xcopy /s/e/v a:\DOS\*.* 3. Run the driver installation command: ex: c:\rayon\pciport 4. The cards will now be installed in your system.
LINUX 1. Login as super-user (SU) or root. 2. Change your directory to root and copy the driver diskette to the system: # cd / # tar xvf /dev/fd0 3. Change the directory to /etc/pciport and run the Install command: # cd /etc/pciport # ./Install 4.
I/O Port Number Definitions Port Number Device Name A tty8?a B tty8?b C tty8?c D tty8?d E tty8?e F tty8?f G tty8?g H tty8?h For example, the device named /dev/tty82b is the device plugged into port B on card Number 2. Notes: • The above installation procedure installs a module type driver. If you can not install the driver successfully, you may need to use a kernel type driver. You will need to enter the Build directory and run Install again.
SCO OpenServer 1. Log in as a super-user (SU) or root. 2. Extract all the files on the diskette using the tar command: # cd / # tar xvf /dev/fd0135ds18 3. Change the directory to /etc/pciport and run the Build command: # cd /etc/pciport # ./build 4. Reboot your system. The device name will be /dev/tty8[1--2] [a--h] Card Definitions Card Number Device 1 tty81? 2 tty82? Note: Card 1 is the card with the jumper ON.
I/O Port Number Definitions Port Number Device Name A tty8?a B tty8?b C tty8?c D tty8?d E tty8?e F tty8?f G tty8?g H tty8?h For example, the device named /dev/tty82b is the device plugged into port B on card Number 2. Notes: • The resources for the card are assigned by the PCI BIOS. If your environment has changed, you may need to run the Build command again to remove the old driver and reinstall it again. • Each serial card needs an open IRQ in order to function properly.
