2 PCI Comm Card Series User's Manual
Description
The PCI Local Bus is a high-performance bus that provides a processor-independent data path between the CPU and high-speed peripherals. PCI is a robust interconnect mechanism designed specifically to
accommodate multiple high performance peripherals for series
communication, SCSI, LAN, etc.
Advantech serial communication cards leverages the " Plug and Play
" capability defined in the PCI 2.1 bus specification. The board
requires only one PCI slot within the personal computer and provides
independent serial channels. All channels are addressed in a continuous 32 byte I/O block for simplified software access. And, all channels
may also share one PCI interrupt. An interrupt status register is
available for determining the interrupt source.
The Advantech PCI communication card comes standard with
16PCI954 UARTs containing 128 byte FIFOs which are available as
an option. These upgraded FIFOs greatly reduce CPU overhead and
are an ideal choice for heavy multitasking environments.
16PCI954
The 16PCI954 is a high performance Quad UART with an on-chip PCI
interface. Targeted at PCI-based serial and parallel expansion cards,
PCI-architecture computer systems and embedded applications, the
16PCI954 integrates a PCI bus interface together with four of 16C950
high performance UARTs, a bi-directional parallel port and a local
bus bridge function. This single-chip solution replaces five or more
integrated circuits used in today products, giving performance, cost
and size advantages for new designs.

• PCI Specification 2.1 compliant
• Speeds up to 921.6 Kbps
• 16C954/950 UARTs with 128-byte standard

Initial Inspection
You should find the following items inside the shipping package (in
addition to this manual):
• PCI communication interface card
• Advantech Automation Software
• PCI communication card user's manual
We carefully inspected the PCI communication card series mechani-
cally and electrically before we shipped it. It should be free of marks
and scratches and in perfect working order on receipt.
As you unpack the PCI communication card series, check it for signs
of shipping damage (damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.). If it is
damaged or it fails to meet specifications, notify our service department or your local sales representative immediately. Also notify the
carrier. Retain the shipping carton and packing material for inspection by the carrier . After inspection we will make arrangements to
repair or replace the unit.
When you handle the PCI communication card series, remove it from
its protective packaging by grasping the rear metal panel. Keep the
anti-vibration packing. Whenever you remove the card from the PC,
store it in this package for protection.
Warning! Discharge your body’ s static electric charge by
touching the back of the grounded chassis of the
system unit (metal) before handling the board. You
should avoid contact with materials that hold a static
charge such as plastic, vinyl and styrof oam. Handle
the board only by its edges to av oid static damage to
its integrated circuits. Avoid touching the exposed
circuit connectors. We also recommend that you use
a grounded wrist strap and place the card on a static
dissipative mat whene v er y ou work with it.

Jumper settings
This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It
gives the card default configuration and your options for each jumper.
How to set jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a
jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you
remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2
and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
You may find pair of needle-nose pliers useful for setting the jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your
application, contact your local distributor or sales representative
before you make any changes.
Default Settings
The board is shipped with default settings. If you need to change
these settings, however, see the following sections. Otherwise, you can
simply install the card.

Card installation
Warning! Turn off your PC’s pow er supply whenev er you install
or remove the PCI communication card or its cables.
Static electricity can easily damage computer
equipment. Ground yourself by touching the chassis
of the computer (metal) before you touch any boards.
See the static warning on page 6
1. Turn off the computer. Turn the power off to any peripheral devices
(such as printers and monitors).
2. Disconnect the power cord and any other cables from the back of
the computer. Turn the PC if necessary to gain access to the
cables.
3. Remove the PC’s cover (refer to your user’s guide if necessary).
4. Locate the expansion slots or passive backplane (at the rear of the
PC) and choose any unused slot.
5. Remove the screw that secures the expansion slot cover to the PC
(save the screw to secure the interface card retaining bracket). Re
move the anti-vibration card clamp if supplied.
6. Carefully grasp the upper edge of the PCL-743/745 card. Align the
hole in the retaining bracket with the hole on top of the expansion
slot. Align the gold striped edge connector with the expansion slot
socket. Press the board firmly into the socket.
7. Replace the screw in the expansion slot retaining bracket. Replace
anti-vibration card holder.
8. Replace the PC’s cover. Connect the cables you removed in step 2.
Turn the computer power on.
The board is now installed in the computer. See Chapter 4 for information on cabling.

RS-422/485 selection (for PCI-1601/1602/
1612)
You can set each port individually for either RS-422 (the default) or
RS-485 operation. The figure below shows the jumper settings. See
the "Jumper and Switch Locations" figure from page 7 to 11 for help
to locate the jumpers.
Enable mode selection
You set the Enable mode using two- or four- position DIP switches,
one for each port. If the switches are set to "AUTO", the driver automatically senses the direction of the data flow and switches the
direction of transmission. No handshaking is necessary.
If DIP switches are set to "On," the driver is always enabled, and
always in high or low status. The user must select a mode before
beginning RS-422 applications.
Terminator resistor setup (for PCI-1601/
1602/1612)
You can install terminator resistors if necessary to match impedance.
Each signal line (R TS, CTS) has a separate resistor.

Windows 95/98 Driver Setup
Windows 95/98 supports up to 256 serial ports, from COM1 to
COM256. Advantech PCI ICOM driver, however , will start to assign
port numbers beginning from COM 5. In order to fully utilize
Windows 95/98 advanced features such as multi-process and multithread , we offer pure 32-bit Windows 95/98 virtual device port
drivers, which are compliant with communication drivers, for the PCI1601/ 1602/ 1610/ 1612/ 1620 multiport boards. All these drivers
conform to Win32 COMM API standard to serve you with a smooth
performance.
Steps for Windows 95/98 Driver Setup
Before you install the card into your system, we strongly recommend
you install the driver first. Please follow the steps below for the PCI-
1601/ 1602/ 1610/1612/ 1620 Windows 95/98 driver installation.
1. Insert your driver installation diskette into your floppy drive, or
insert companion CD-ROM disc into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Use Windows Explorer or Windows Run command to execute
SETUP.EXE on your driver diskette or companion CD-ROM. Or if
the autoplay function is enabled on your system, the driver setup
program will be launched automatically from the CD-ROM.
3. After the Setup program is launched, you’ll see the following
Setup Screen.
