Power Output, Model 175586. The easy-to-follow instructions in this
manual help make installation of the card quick and simple, so you’ll
also soon be enjoying the benets of these features:
• Adds 4 independent RS-232 (16950 UART) DB9 serial ports to a
desktop computer
• Each port features an individually controlled 5 V DC power supply
• Supports data transfer rates up to 920 kbps
• Fits regular and low-prole PCI slots
• Lifetime Warranty
INSTALLATION
NOTE: After installing the driver, set the correct data rate using a frequency
of 14.745 MHz or by using the automatic frequency detection function.
5 V Jumper Setting for each RS-232 Port
• 5 V DC on Pin 9 of DB9 connector = 5 V short.
• Normal RI function on Pin 9 of DB9 connector = RI short.
