Appendix A – Troubleshooting
Following these simple steps can eliminate most common problems.
1. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install the adapter in your
system.
2. Install software first. This places the required installation files in the correct
locations. After installing the software, proceed to the physical installation
section of this manual.
3. Identify all I/O adapters currently installed in your system. This includes
your on-board serial ports, controller cards, sound cards, etc. The I/O
addresses used by these adapters, as well as the IRQ (if any) should be
identified.
4. Configure your Sealevel Systems adapter so that there is no conflict with
currently installed adapters. No two adapters can occupy the same I/O
address.
5. Try the Sealevel Systems adapter with a unique IRQ. While the Sealevel
Systems adapter does allow the sharing of IRQs, many other adapters (i.e.,
SCSI adapters and on-board serial ports) do not.
6. Make sure the Sealevel Systems adapter is securely installed.
7. For Windows 2000/XP, the diagnostic tool ‘WinSSD’ is installed the
SeaMAC folder on the Start Menu during the setup process. First find the
ports using the Device Manager, then use ‘WinSSD’ to verify that the ports
are functional.
8. Always use Sealevel Systems diagnostic software when troubleshooting a
problem. This will eliminate any software issues from the equation.
If these steps do not solve your problem, please call Sealevel Systems’ Technical

Appendix C – Electrical Interface
RS-232
Quite possibly the most widely used communication standard is RS-232. This
implementation has been defined and revised several times and is often referred to as
RS-232 or EIA/TIA-232. It is defined by the EIA as the Interface between Data
Terminal Equipment and Data Circuit- Terminating Equipment Employing Serial
Binary Data Interchange. The mechanical implementation of RS-232 is on a 25 pin
D sub connector. RS-232 is capable of operating at data rates up to 20 Kbps at
distances less than 50 ft. The absolute maximum data rate may vary due to line
conditions and cable lengths. RS-232 often operates at 38.4 Kbps over very short
distances. The voltage levels defined by RS-232 range from -12 to +12 volts.
RS-232 is a single ended or unbalanced interface, meaning that a single electrical
signal is compared to a common signal (ground) to determine binary logic states. A
voltage of +12 volts (usually +3 to +10 volts) represents a binary 0 (space) and -12
volts (-3 to -10 volts) denotes a binary 1 (mark). The RS-232 and the EIA/TIA-574
specification defines two type of interface circuits, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE). The Sealevel Systems adapter is a
DTE interface.
RS-422
The RS-422 specification defines the electrical characteristics of balanced voltage
digital interface circuits. RS-422 is a differential interface that defines voltage levels
and driver/receiver electrical specifications. On a differential interface, logic levels
are defined by the difference in voltage between a pair of outputs or inputs. In
contrast, a single ended interface, for example RS-232, defines the logic levels as the
difference in voltage between a single signal and a common ground connection.
Differential interfaces are typically more immune to noise or voltage spikes that may
occur on the communication lines. Differential interfaces also have greater drive
capabilities that allow for longer cable lengths. RS-422 is rated up to 10 Megabits
per second and can have cabling 4000 feet long. RS-422 also defines driver and
receiver electrical characteristics that will allow 1 driver and up to 32 receivers on
the line at once. RS-422 signal levels range from 0 to +5 volts. RS-422 does not
define a physical connector.

ACB-MP.PCI User Manual
RS-485
RS-485 is backwardly compatible with RS-422; however, it is optimized for
partyline or multi-drop applications. The output of the RS-422/485 driver is capable
of being Active (enabled) or Tri-State (disabled). This capability allows multiple
ports to be connected in a multi-drop bus and selectively polled. RS-485 allows
cable lengths up to 4000 feet and data rates up to 10 Megabits per second. The signal
levels for RS-485 are the same as those defined by RS-422. RS-485 has electrical
characteristics that allow for 32 drivers and 32 receivers to be connected to one line.
This interface is ideal for multi-drop or network environments. RS-485 tri-state
driver (not dual-state) will allow the electrical presence of the driver to be removed
from the line. Only one driver may be active at a time and the other driver(s) must
be tri-stated. RS-485 can be cabled in two ways, two wire and four wire mode. Two
wire mode does not allow for full duplex communication, and requires that data be
transferred in only one direction at a time. For half-duplex operation, the two
transmit pins should be connected to the two receive pins (Tx+ to Rx+ and Tx- to
Rx-). Four wire mode allows full duplex data transfers. RS-485 does not define a
connector pin-out or a set of modem control signals. RS-485 does not define a
physical connector.
RS-530 / 530A
RS-530 (a.k.a. EIA-530) compatibility means that RS-422 signal levels are met, and
the pin-out for the DB-25 connector is specified. The EIA (Electronic Industry
Association) created the RS-530 specification to detail the pin-out, and define a full
set of modem control signals that can be used for regulating flow control and line
status. The major difference between RS-530 and RS-530A lies in some of the
modem control interface signals. In RS-530 the signals all of the modem control
signals are differential, in RS-530A some of these signals are single ended. The
RS-530 specification defines two types of interface circuits, Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) and Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE). The Sealevel
Systems adapter is a DTE interface.
V.35
V.35 is a standard defined by ITU (formerly CCITT) that specifies an electrical,
mechanical, and physical interface that is used extensively by high-speed digital
carriers such as AT&T Dataphone Digital Service (DDS). ITU V.35 is an
international standard that is often refereed to as Data Transmission at 48 Kbps
Using 60 - 108 KHz Group-Band Circuits. ITU V.35 electrical characteristics are a
combination of unbalanced voltage and balanced current mode signals. Data and
clock signals are balanced current mode circuits. These circuits typically have
voltage levels from 0.5 Volts to -0.5 Volts (1 Volt differential). The modem control
signals are unbalanced signals and are compatible with RS-232. The physical
connector is a 34 pin connector that supports 24 data, clock and control signals. The
physical connector is defined in the ISO-2593 standard. ITU V.35 specification
defines two type of interface circuits, Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data
Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE). The Sealevel Systems adapter is a DTE
interface.
