ACB-ULTRA.LPCI User Manual
Introduction
ACB-ULTRA.LPCI
The ACB-ULTRA.LPCI adapter provides the PC with a single channel high-speed
multi-protocol serial interface suitable for the most popular communication
protocols. This sync/async card provides an ideal solution for high-speed applications
including LAN/WAN connectivity. Utilizing the Zilog Z16C32 (IUSC™) on chip
DMA controller eliminates bus bandwidth constraints that are placed on typical
interface adapters, allowing data rates to reach 10M bps in burst mode. By utilizing
the Z16C32's 32 byte FIFO buffer coupled with 256K of on board memory, higher
data rates are achieved.
The ACB-ULTRA.LPCI meets the PCISIG size requirements for an MD1 Low
Profile adapter. This allows the ACB-ULTRA.LPCI to be used in a variety of modern
systems, including low profile servers, network appliances and ‘All in One’ desktop
computers. A standard height bracket is available for implementations in a standard
height PCI slot. The ACB-ULTRA.LPCI is a ‘Universal Bus’ adapter, allowing for
use in either +5 or +3.3V PCI slots and provides compliance with the PCISIG PCI
Bus Specification Revision 2.2/2.3, which requires ATX power support for both 5V
and 3.3V.

Before You Get Started
What’s Included
The ACB-ULTRA.LPCI is shipped with the following items. If any of these items is
missing or damaged please contact Sealevel for replacement.
ACB-ULTRA.LPCI Adapter
o 5104 includes low profile PCI bracket
o 5104S includes standard size PCI bracket
Sealevel SeaI/O Software CD
Optional Items
Depending upon your application, you are likely to find one or more of the following
items useful for interfacing the ACB-ULTRA.LPCI to real-world signals. All items
can be purchased from our website (http://www.sealevel.com
4343.
CA-178 – A 6’ shielded cable with a DB-25F connector to an ITU-T ISO-2593
style connector (V.35), and converts the Sealevel DB-25 implementation to the
ITU-T V.35 mechanical standard.
CA-104 – A 6’ extension cable with one DB-25M connector and one DB-
25Fconnector, pinned one-to-one, for use with RS-232 and RS-530.
CA-107 – A 10” shielded cabling adapter with a DB-25F (RS-530) to a DB-37M
(RS-449 DTE). RS-530 is replacing RS-449 in Telecom applications, but there is
still a very large installed base of equipment that still uses the RS-449 pin-out.
Both standards use RS-422 to define the electrical specifications and are
interchangeable via this adapter cable.
CA-159 – A 6’ shielded cable with a DB-25F (RS-530) to a DB-15M (X.21), and
converts the standard DB-25 implementation of RS-530 or RS-422 to the ITU-T
X.21 standard.

Software Installation
Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP Installation
Do not install the Adapter in the machine until the software has been fully
installed.
1. Start Windows.
2. Insert the Sealevel Systems CD in to your CD drive.
3. If ‘Auto-Start’ is enabled for this drive the software will automatically launch.
Otherwise, point your browser to the ‘Index.htm’ on the root directory of the CD
4. Select ‘Install Software’.
5. Select the Part Number for your adapter from the listing.
6. Select ‘Windows 98/ME/2000/XP’. The setup file will automatically detect the
operating environment and install the proper components. Next (depending on
the OS version) select the ‘Run this program from its current location’ or ‘Open’
option. Follow the information presented on the screens that follow.
7. A screen may appear with the declaration: “The publisher cannot be determined
due to the problems below: Authenticode signature not found.” Please select the
‘Yes’ button and proceed with the installation. This declaration simply means
that the Operating System is not aware of the driver being loaded. It will not
cause any harm to your system.
8. During setup the user may specify installation directories and other preferred
configurations. This program also adds entries to the system registry that are
necessary for specifying the operating parameters for each driver. An uninstall
option is also included to remove all registry/INI file entries from the system.

ACB-ULTRA.LPCI User Manual
Technical Description
The Sealevel Systems’ ACB-ULTRA.LPCI adapter was designed for seamless
integration into any PCI based system. The ACB-ULTRA.LPCI adapter requires a
PCI slot, one IRQ, an 8 byte block of I/O address and a 16K block or 256K block of
memory address and additionally, the IUSC requires a 256 byte block of memory.
The memory range of this adapter can be configured to reside in the lower 1
Megabyte memory only or anywhere in upper memory. Low memory (not available
on PCI 2.2 or higher systems) must to be configured as 16 X 16K blocks of page
memory. High memory can be configured as a 256K linear block or 16K paged
memory.
Features
Single channel high speed sync/async wide area network (WAN) interface
RS-232, RS-422/449, EIA-530, V.35 and RS-485 serial interface capability with
versatile cabling options
Multi-protocol capable including: PPP (point-to-point protocol), Frame Relay,
X.25, high-speed Async, Bi-Sync, Mono-Sync, HDLC, SDLC, etc.
Ideal for T1, Fractional T1, E1, and ISDN and other WAN applications
On-board Z16C32 (IUSC™) with built in DMA controller and 32 byte FIFO
buffer
Up to 10 Mbps burst mode
256K of on-board RAM
Link list DMA supported
32-bit data path
OEM Security feature available as an option
IUSC™
The ACB-ULTRA.LPCI is based on a single Zilog Z16C32 IUSC (Integrated
Universal Serial Controller). The IUSC has a built-in DMA controller that allows
high-speed data transfers directly to and from the 256K block of on-board memory.
The IUSC’s built-in DMA controller supports 4 different modes of DMA transfer:
Single Buffer, Pipelined, Array, and Link List. An on-board 20MHz oscillator clocks
the IUSC.
RAM
The memory window is located by BIOS PCI setup or the Set PCI function. The
window size is a 16K paged or 256K linear block. In paged mode the registers are
located in the I/O registers.
• Low Memory options: 16 pages of 16K memory blocks totaling 256K (not
available on PCI 2.2 or later systems).
• High Memory options: 16 pages of 16K memory blocks totaling 256K or one
linear block of 256K memory.
