INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Manhattan® Serial PCI Card with 5 V Power Output,
Model 175586.

Compatible with most RS232 peripherals, the Manhattan Serial PCI Card with 3.3
V and 5 V Power Output includes an adapter that can attach up to four independen
serial devices — modems, barcode scanners, printers and more — through a
single PCI card. Ideal for point-of-sale applications, it helps eliminate separate
peripheral power supplies, reduce clutter and improve reliability. Its high-speed
16C550 UART serial DB9 Com ports fully support PCI IRQ sharing even if
accessed simultaneously to help save valuable resources for other expansion
cards.

By following the instructions in this user manual — or the simpler setup procedure
in the printed quick install guide included with the product — you’ll soon be enjoying
these popular features:

• Adds 4 high-speed 16C950 UART serial DB9 Com ports to desktop computers

• Each port features individually controlled 5 V DC operation

• Up to 460 kbps throughput

• Fan-out cable reduces loss, tangles and clutter

• Fits standard and low-prole PCI slots

• Windows compatible

• Lifetime Warranty (For a complete list of country-specic warranties, go to

INSTALLATION

1. Power off the system. Insert the PCI Card into an available PCI slot.

2. Power up the system, and insert the driver CD into your CD-ROM/DVD drive.

3. When Windows displays the Found New Hardware Wizard, click Next.

4. Select “Search for a suitable driver for my device (Recommended)” and click

Next.

5. On the next screen, check that “Specify a location” is the only option that is
selected, then click Next.

6. Enter “X:\” (or whatever letter corresponds to your CD-ROM/DVD drive) and
click “Browse.”

7. Specify a location; for example, “X:\ PCI IO\OXmPCI \Win_Driver_v7.0 \x86” for

a 32-bit operating system). Click OK.

8. When the wizard indicates that it has found a driver for the device, click Next,
then click Finish.

9. Repeat Step 3 – Step 8.

5 VDC Jumper Setting for each RS232 Port

• 5 VDC on Pin 9 of the DB9 connector = 5 V short

• Normal RI function on Pin 9 of the DB9 connector = RI short

VERIFYING INSTALLATION

1. Right-click on the desktop My Computer icon and select “Properties.” Click on

the Hardware tab, then click Device Manager.

2. Double-click “Multifunction adapters.” If there is no yellow “!” or “?” in front of
“OX16PCI954 PCI UARTs (unique bars)” or “OX16PCI95x PCI bridge,” continue

to the next step.

3. Double-click any of the four “PCI Communications Port (COM3–6)” listings. If

there is no yellow “!” or “?” in front of these, the driver has been successfully

installed.

SETTING THE FREQUENCY

After the driver installation (above), the data rate frequency needs to be set for

proper operation.

1. Right-click “PCI Communications Port (COM3)” and select “Properties.”

2. Click on the Data Rate tab.

3. In the Input Clock panel, select “14.745 MHz” from the “Crystal Frequency (MHz)”
drop-down menu, or click “Detect Crystal Frequency” for an automatic setting.

4. In the Baud Rate Conguration Options panel, select “Use default baud rate.”

5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for the COM4, COM5 and COM6 listings.
