12 Xtreme/104 Installation Overview
Before you begin, take a moment to ensure your package includes the components shipped with
your product. These components should include:
One Xtreme/104 adapter One CD containing software and documentation DB-9 male fan-out cable or DB9 male cables (optional)
If any of these components are missing, contact Connect Tech (see more Contact Details) or
your reseller.
There are three stages to installing your Xtreme/104:
1. Hardware Configuration
Interrupts and Memory selection will be set by the host computer‟s BIOS. This section
outlines jumper settings and the ID selection process.
2. Hardware Installation
Installation involves the physical connection of the Xtreme/104-Plus or Xtreme/104
Express within your computer‟s PC/104-Plus stack. (Please note that you should
configure any jumper settings, such as ID or electrical interface, if required, prior to
installing the board.)
3. Software/driver installation
Load the appropriate driver for your Operating System, as found on the accompanying
CD. Installation guides are also available on the CD to aid you in this process.
13 Hardware Installation
13.1 ESD Warning
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling
any circuit boards including Connect Tech PC/104 boards, it is recommended that ESD safety
precautions be observed. ESD safe best practices include, but are not limited to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging until they are ready to be installed. Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit boards, at a minimum you should
touch a grounded metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which may include ESD floor and table
mats, wrist strap stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas. Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact with components.
13.2 Installing Xtreme/104-Plus or Xtreme/104PCI Cards Into Your System
Turn off the power to your system and open it to expose the PC/104 stack. Choose an available
position in the PCIe/104 or PC/104-Plus stack, and set the ID jumpers or rotary switch
accordingly (see ID Selection). Insert the Xtreme/104-Plus or Xtreme/104 Express adapter and
reassemble the stack.

14 Hardware Configuration
14.1 Interrupts and Memory Address Selection
Xtreme/104 boards are PCI and PCI Express cards, so the host computer‟s BIOS or Operating
System will automatically set interrupts and memory addresses when you reboot after
installation.
14.2 Xtreme/104 Plus and Xtreme/PCI-104 ID Selection
Up to four PC/104-Plus or PCI-104 boards can reside within a single PC/104 module stack. Each
card within the stack must have a unique ID ranging from zero to three.
(this section does not apply to PCIe/104 cards )
Depending on the model of your Xtreme/104-Plus adapter, you will
be required to set either a pair of jumpers or a rotary switch to
specify where your card is located within the stack. (Ensure that no
two boards share an ID number.)
In systems designed prior to the PC/104-Plus 2.0 specification, the fourth ID was reserved for
target only devices and did not support bus mastering. Since the Xtreme/104-Plus is not a bus
mastering device, we would recommend an assignment of ID 3. This leaves three of the IDs in
the PC/104-Plus stack available for bus mastering devices.
In systems designed post PC/104-Plus 2.0 specification, all four IDs support bus mastering, so
there is no advantage to setting the Xtreme/104-Plus ID to 3. Regardless of which PC/104-Plus
specification version the system is using, , the Xtreme/104-Plus will work with any ID selected
as long as no other device in the system is using the same ID.
14.2.1 Xtreme/104 Plus ID Selection Using the Rotary Switch
If your Xtreme/104-Plus or Xtreme/104-Plus Opto is equipped with a rotary switch, turn the
knob on the switch so that the arrow points at the ID you would like to use. (See Figure 6 for the
location of the rotary switch on the board). Use the following settings to set your adapter‟s
location (or ID) within the stack:

14.2.2 Xtreme/104 Plus and /PCI-104 ID Selection Using the Jumper Block
If your Xtreme/104-Plus or Xtreme/PCI-104 card is equipped with a jumper block for ID
selection, set your board‟s location by changing jumper positions. Figure 7 depicts the jumper
settings required for each ID.
The jumpers remain unpopulated for an ID of zero. Populate the left jumper for an ID of one, the
right jumper for an ID of two or populate both for an ID of three.

15 Electrical Interfaces Xtreme/104 Plus and Express
(RS-232/422/485 and RS-423 Models)
15.1 RS-232 Electrical Interface
This is the default setting for the interface selectable Xtreme/104-Plus and Xtreme/104-Plus
Opto. To operate a port in RS-232 mode, no jumpers are set on the corresponding jumper block.
15.2 RS-422/485 Electrical Interface
Xtreme/104 Express, Xtreme/104-Plus and Xtreme/104-Plus Opto RS-232/422/485 adapters
support three modes of RS-422/485 communication, as outlined below. (See Figure 8to see
examples of jumper settings.)
15.2.1 Full Duplex 4-Wire Mode
In this mode, TxD+/- and RxD+/- are being driven to a known level all the time. This mode is
typically used in point-to-point situations much like RS-232. This is sometimes called RS-422
mode.
15.2.2 Half Duplex 2-Wire Mode
In Half Duplex 2-wire mode during transmission the TxD+/- line driver is enabled and the
RxD+/- is disabled. When the not transmitting, the TxD+/- is disabled and the RxD+/- is
enabled. The TxD+/- is disabled by tri-stating the output driver pins.
This mode is used in both point-to-point 2-wire connections and in multi-drop 2-wire bus type
connections. Special software setup is required so that the Xtreme/104 hardware automatically
performs the TxD and RxD enabled and disabling.
See the Driver Software Configuration section for software setup.
15.2.3 Multi-drop 4-Wire Mode
In this mode the TxD+/- line driver is enabled only when data is transmitted and RxD+/- is
enabled all of the time. This mode is used in multi-drop 4-wire connections. This mode is also
called “Multi-drop” slave.
See the Driver Software Configuration section for software setup.
15.2.4 Line Bias and Termination
The RS-422/485 transceivers, both transmit and receive can be optionally biased to produce a
line level mark condition through jumper selectable resistors. These options are typically used
in multi-drop 4-wire and 2-wire connections.
The RxD+/- features a combined Bias and Termination network.
The TxD+/- feature a single Termination resistor.
See the Jumper Block settings in the next section for more details.

15.3 Jumper Block Settings
The following jumper block diagram depicts typical settings on a four-port selectable
Xtreme/104-Plus or Xtreme/104-Plus Opto. Jumper blocks JA, JB, JC and JD control ports 1
through 4, respectively. The Xtreme/104 Express can have 4 or 8 ports which are controlled by
J1 though J4, and J1 though J8 respectively.
Important Note!! We recommend that jumper removal and installation only be performed when
the power to the Xtreme card is off!
15.3.1 Four and Eight Port Xtreme/104 Plus models
Figure 10: Example of Various Jumper Block Settings for RS-232/422/485 Models
In this example, port 1 is set to RS-232, port 2 is set to RS-422/485 half duplex, port 3 is set to
RS-422/485 full duplex, and port 4 is set to RS-422/485 4-wire multi-drop.
The following jumper blocks correspond to the following ports:
JA = J1 = Port 1 JE = J5 = Port 5
JB = J2 = Port 2 JF = J6 = Port 6
JC = J3 = Port 3 JG = J7 = Port 7
JD = J4 = Port 4 JH = J8 = Port 8
15.3.2 Sixteen Port Xtreme/104 Plus models
Figure 11: Example of Various Jumper Block Settings for RS-232/422/485 Models
In this example, port 1 is set to RS-232, port 2 is set to RS-422/485 half duplex, port 3 is set to

15.3.3 Jumper Details
RS-485 Selection: Install this jumper to configure a port for RS-422/485 mode. If the jumper is
not installed, the port will function in RS-232 mode.
TxD Control: Install this jumper to only enable the RS-485 transmitter when sending data. This
mode is useful for half-duplex operation when only one device is allowed to send data at a time.
If the jumper is not installed, the transmitter will always drive the line to an idle state when not
sending data.
RxD Control: Install this jumper to enable the RS-485 receiver only when NOT transmitting
data. This is useful for half-duplex operation to prevent the transmitting device from receiving
its own data as it sends. If this jumper is not installed, the receiver is always enabled and ready
to receive data.
RxD ± Termination/Bias: Install this pair of jumpers to enable a 150 ohm terminator across the
RxD+ and RxD- pins for the corresponding port. A biasing network is also enabled that drives
the receiver to an inactive or safe mode. The receiver can still receive data from another device
and the biasing helps to prevent the reception of data generated by noise on the transmission
line. The two jumpers for RxD termination/bias must be installed and removed as a pair.
TxD ± Termination: Install this jumper to enable a 150 ohm resistor across the TxD+ and TxDpins of the corresponding port.
Important Port Numbering Note for some Xtreme/104 Plus models:
Due to differences between the quad and octal UARTS, the port numbering
for eight port models differs from the numbering for four port models.
Jumper blocks JA through JD control ports 1 through 4, respectively, on four
port models.
On eight port models, jumper blocks JA through JD control the odd numbered
ports and JE through JH control the even numbered ports, as follows:
JA = Port 1, JB = Port 3, JC = Port 5, JD = Port 7
JE = Port 2, JF = Port 4, JG = Port 6, JH = Port 8.
Note: this does not apply to Xtreme/104 Express and Xtreme/104 Plus 16 port
models
Half Duplex and 4-wire Multi-drop modes require you to select the appropriate
mode via software. Please refer to the readme.txt files found in the appropriate
directories on the Xtreme/104-Plus/Express CD.

15.4 Power-on RS485 Tri-state for multidrop networks.
Xtreme/104- Opto models offer a power-on tri-state feature to ensure glitch-free power-up on
multi-drop networks. When enabled, the Xtreme/104- Opto will hold the RS-485 transmitter in
tri-state at power up. This feature is available on ports configured as RS-485 half duplex or RS485 4-wire multi-drop.
Note: Enabling this feature on ports configured in RS-232 or RS-422 (RS-485 full duplex)
modes will alter the operation of the RTS signal.
15.4.1 Xtreme/104-Plus Opto and Xtreme/104 Express Opto models:
Jumper J1 (Xtreme/104 Plus) and J19 (Xtreme/104 Express) control the power-on tristate functionality. Install a jumper on the first location of J1 or J19, and configure Port 1
in RS-485 half duplex or multi-drop slave in order to tri-state Port 1 at power-on; install a
jumper on the second position of J1 to control Port 2, etc. Ports will not come out of tristate until the driver has loaded and transmission begins on the associated port.
Though J1 is a five position jumper, only the first four have connections to the ports on
the card. The fifth has no function.
15.4.2 16 Port Models
Jumper G485 in J18 controls the power-on tri-state functionality. Install a jumper on this
jumper to enable the Power on Tri-State function. This is a single jumper that applies to
all ports.

The following control signals are available to ports configured for RS-232 and TTL mode: TxD,
RxD, RTS, CTS, RI, DTR, DSR, DCD, SG (Signal Ground) and +5V. See Figure 3 for the
location of Px1 RS-232/TTL port headers. See Figure 13 for information on configuring ports
for RS-232 or TTL mode. (Note: Current draw on +5V pins of all ports must not exceed 1 Amp).
16.2 RS-422/485 Electrical Interface
In this mode, the port will communicate in RS-422 and RS-485 full duplex using the vertical
Px2 headers. (See Figure 3 for the location of Px2 headers). The following control signals are
available: TxD+/, RxD+/ and SR (Signal Reference). See Figure 13 for information on configuring
ports for RS-422/485 mode.
16.3 Jumper Block Settings
The following jumper blocks correspond to the following ports:
JA = Port 1 JE = Port 5
JB = Port 2 JF = Port 6
JC = Port 3 JG = Port 7
JD = Port 4 JH = Port 8
The pin functions are outlined in the following diagram:
Figure 12: Examples of Various Jumper Block Settings for RS-232/422/485/TTL Models
In the example in Figure 2, port 1 (JA) is configured for RS-422/485 full duplex, port 2 (JB) is
configured for RS-232, port 3 (JC) is configured for TTL, and ports 4 to 8 (JD to JH) are
disabled.
When all jumpers are removed, the corresponding ports are completely disabled. The UART will
receive no data from these ports, even if an external source is driving the headers.
Note: There are eight solder jumpers on the back of the board that correspond to the
vertical (Px2) headers on the front of the board. (See Figure 3 for location of Px2
headers). If necessary, you can ensure TxD+/- pins on specified vertical headers

17 Electrical Interfaces Xtreme/PCI-104 12 Port Opto
17.1 I/O Port Power for the Xtreme/PCI-104 Opto 12 Port
Jumpers J2A, J2B and J2C provide the ability to power on or off the I/O section of a port in
groups of four. Removing the jumpers will remove power from the DC-DC converter and all
components in the isolated section of the product.
This mode can be used in cases where power is in short supply and the group of ports is unused.
The factory default is to have all three jumpers installed to enable all three banks of ports.
Note about Fusing: Each bank is protected by a resettable fuse from damage due to circuit failure
or overload. To reset the fuse, the power should be removed for a minimum of one minute.
17.2 Line Modes
17.2.1Low Power Shutdown
This is the default mode when no mode configuration jumpers are installed. In this mode the
SP336 line transceiver is shutdown and the I/O section port consumes a minimum of current.
The current reduction is as much as 50ma for shutting down of a RS232 port and 70mA for
shutting down a RS485 port.
17.2.2 RS-232 Electrical Interface
Standard RS-232 mode.
17.2.3 Full Duplex 4-Wire RS485
In this mode, TxD+/- and RxD+/- are being driven to a known level all the time. This mode is
typically used in point-to-point situations much like RS-232, where long distances are required.
17.2.4 Multi-drop 4-WireRS485
In this mode the TxD+/- line driver is enabled only when data is transmitted and RxD+/- is
enabled all of the time. This mode is typically used in multi-drop 4-wire connections.
See the Driver Software Configuration section for software setup.
17.2.5 Half Duplex 2-Wire RS485
In Half Duplex mode the TxD+/- line driver is enabled only when data is transmitted, whereas,
the RxD+/- is disabled when data is being transmitted. This mode is typically used in either
point-to-point 2-wire connections or in multi-drop 2-wire bus connections.
See the Driver Software Configuration section for software setup.

17.2.6 Line Bias/Termination
The RS-422/485 transceivers, both transmit and receive are optionally biased and terminated to
produce a stable idle condition through jumper selectable resistors.
17.3 Jumper Block and Mode Settings for 12 Port Opto
The following jumper block diagram depicts typical settings on a four-port selectable
Xtreme/PCI-104 12 Port Opto. Each port has two banks of jumper blocks, Jx.1y and Jx.2y.
Where „x‟ is the port number and „y‟ is the jumper number of that power.
Important Note!! We recommend that jumper removal and installation only be performed when
the power to the Xtreme/104 card is off.
Figure 13: Examples of Various Jumper Block Settings for the 12 Port Opto model
17.4 Bias and Termination Resistors
Revision 0.09
The (B&T) Bias and Termination resistors are use in RS485 communications. All other modes
these jumpers should be removed.
The B&T resistors are selected using jumpers Jx.1E/Jx.1F and Jx.2A/Jx.2B.
RXD and TXD/RXD Termination/Bias: Install this pair of jumpers to enable a 150 ohm
terminator across the RxD+ and RxD- or TxD+ and TxD- pins for the corresponding port. A
biasing network is also enabled that drives the receiver to an inactive or safe mode. The receiver
can still receive data from another device and the biasing helps to prevent the reception of data
generated by noise on the transmission line. The two jumpers for the termination/bias must be installed and removed as a pair.
Bias and Termination Notes:
For 2-wire and 4-wire multidrop wiring networks the B&T resistors are only installed when the Xtreme/PCI-104 12 Port Opto is the first or last device in the wiring network.

17.6 Power-on Tri-state for Xtreme/PCI-104 Opto 12 Port
These models offer a power-on tri-state feature to ensure glitch-free power-up on multi-drop
networks. When enabled, the Xtreme/104- Opto will hold the RS-485 transmitter in tri-state at
power up. This feature is available on ports configured as RS-485 half duplex or RS-485 4-wire
multi-drop.
Note: Enabling this feature on ports configured in RS-232 or RS-422 (RS-485 full duplex)
modes will alter the operation of the RTS signal.
Jumper G-485 in J2 controls the power-on tri-state functionality. Install a jumper on this jumper
to enable the Power on Tri-State function..

21.3 RS-422/485 Wiring Examples
Note: The RS-422/485 electrical interface consists of a differential signaling scheme.
You should always connect the signals with twisted pairs. The Signal Reference (GND)
must be connected.
Note: On the Xtreme/PCI-104 12 Port Opto the TxD+ to RxD+ and TxD- to RxD- wiring
is done by the SP336 transceiver when Half Duplex mode is configured.
