Introduction and Card Setup

Card Setup

Address and IRQ selection
The COMM+850.LPCI is automatically assigned resources by your motherboard BIOS. Only the I/O address may be modified by the user.
Adding or removing other hardware may change the assignment of I/O addresses and IRQs.
Clock Modes
The COMM+850.LPCI employs a unique clocking option that allows the end user to select from divide by 4 and divide by 1 clocking modes. These modes are selected at Header J1.
To select the Baud rates commonly associated with COM: ports (i.e. 2400, 4800, 9600, 19.2, … 115.2K bps ) place the jumper in the divide by 4 mode (silk-screen D4) position.
To select the maximum data rates up to 460.8K bps place the jumper in the divide by 1 (silk-screen D1) position. Please refer to the following page for these additional data rates.
Baud Rates and Divisors for the ‘D1’ mode
The following table shows some common data rates and the rates you should choose if using the adapter in the ‘D1’ mode.
For this Data Rate Choose this Data Rate
1200 bps 300 bps 2400 bps 600 bps 4800 bps 1200 bps 9600 bps 2400 bps
19.2K bps 4800 bps
57.6 K bps 14.4K bps
115.2 K bps 28.8K bps
230.4K bps 57.6 K bps
460.8K bps 115.2 K bps
If your communications package allows the use of Baud rate divisors, choose the appropriate divisor from the following table:
For this Data Rate Choose this Divisor
1200 bps 384 2400 bps 192 4800 bps 96 9600 bps 48
19.2K bps 24
38.4K bps 12
57.6K bps 8
115.2K bps 4
230.4K bps 2
460.8K bps 1

Installation

Installation

Operating System Installation Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
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.
Linux
Refer to D:\software\seacom\Other\Linux\Linux.serial.readme (where D: = your CDROM driver letter) found on the Sealevel Systems CD. This file contains valuable information on installing your adapter in the various Linux releases. Also in this sub-directory is the Linux SerialHOWTO. This series of files explains typical Linux serial implementations, as well as informing the user to Linux syntax and preferred practices.
QNX
Refer to D:\software\seacom\Other\QNX6\Install.readme (where D: = your CDROM driver letter) found on the Sealevel Systems CD. This file contains valuable information on installing your adapter in the QNX6 Neutrino OS, as well as the files required to ensure a flawless implementation. Also provided on the Sealevel Systems CD are implementation instructions for QNX4. These are found in D:\software\seacom\Other\QNX4\QNX_COM.txt.
