1 General Information
The Quatech, Inc. DSCLP-200/300 (two-port) and SSCLP-200/300
(one-port) provide RS-422 or RS-485 asynchronous serial communication
interfaces for IBM-compatible personal computer systems using the PCI
expansion bus. For general purposes, this manual usually makes reference only to
the DSCLP-200/300. All information pertains equally to the SSCLP-200/300,
with the exception that with the SSCLP there is just one port instead of two. The
DSCLP-200/300 uses Quatech's new Enhanced Serial Adapter design. Legacy
serial port data rates are limited to a maximum of 115,200 bits per second.
Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapters can achieve data rates as high as 921,600 bits
per second.
As a PCI device, the DSCLP-200/300 requires no hardware configuration.
The card is automatically configured by the computer's BIOS or operating system.
The two serial ports share a single interrupt line and are addressed in a contiguous
block of 16 bytes. A special interrupt status register is provided to help software
to manage the shared interrupt.
The DSCLP-200/300's serial ports are implemented using 16550
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters (UARTs). These UARTs contain
hardware buffers (FIFOs) which reduce processing overhead and allow higher
data rates to be achieved. The 16550 contains a 16-byte FIFO and can transmit
and receive data at a rate of up to 921,000 bits per second.
The DSCLP-200/300 is supported under several popular operating systems
and environments. Contact the sales department for details on current software
offerings. Most device drivers are available for download from the Quatech world
wide web site at http://www.quatech.com.
DSCLP/SSCLP-200/300 User's Manual 8
2 Hardware Configuration
The DSCLP-200/300 is automatically configured at boot time by the
computer's BIOS or operating system. There are no required switches or jumpers
to set for installation.
This chapter lists a number of optional
hardware features. Jumpers J1-J4, located in a column near the D-type connector
(D-25 for DSCLP, D-9 for SSCLP), control the RS-422 or RS-485 signal line
termination. Jumpers J5-J8, located in a column just to the right of J1-J4, control
how signals are routed from the UARTs to the connector, as well as full- or halfduplex operation. Jumpers J10-J22, grouped together at the end of the board
opposite the D-type connector (D-25 for DSCLP, D-9 for SSCLP), control special
options.
Any changes from the factory default should be made before installing the
DSCLP-200/300 in the computer. These settings can also be changed in Device
Manager under Windows operating systems.
2.1 RS-422 or RS-485 Signal Line Termination
Jumpers J6-J9 allow the selection of 100-ohm RS-422 termination,
120-ohm RS-485 termination, or no termination at all. The factory default, shown
in Figure 1, is RS-422 termination. For full details, see section 7.6.

2.2 Signal Connections
The DSCLP-200/300 provides each of two serial ports with four
differential signal pairs: TxD, RxD, AUXOUT, and AUXIN. TxD and RxD are
always present at the connector. The AUXOUT and AUXIN signals can be used
to support RTS/CTS handshaking, external clocking, or external signal loopback.
The factory default configuration, as shown in Figure 2, is a loopback of
AUXOUT to AUXIN at the connector, with RTS and CTS looped back on the
board. There is an extensive discussion of this topic in section 7.
2.3 Full-duplex/Half-duplex Operation
The DTR or RTS modem control output of the UART can be used to
enable and disable the transmit drivers. The inverse of these signals can also be
used to enable and disable the receivers. These options are selectable per channel.
The factory default, as shown in Figure 2, is for both the drivers and receivers of
both channels to be continuously enabled. Two spare jumpers are installed in
neutral positions. For details, refer to section 7.5.
The DSCLP-200/300 is shipped from the factory with each channel
configured with No jumpers on J10-23. The following conditions occur:
CTS=AUXIN, AUXOUT=RTS, RCLK=TCLK, TXEN=1 AND RXEN=1.

2.4.1 Enable Scratchpad Register (SPAD, J2)
In the default configuration (see page 11), an Interrupt Status Register and
an Options Register replace the scratchpad (base address + 7) of each UART. If
the SPAD jumper is applied as in Figure 4, the UART scratchpad registers are
enabled, and the Interrupt Status Register and the Options Register are not
available.

2.4.2 Force High-Speed UART Clock (X2, X4, or X8; J3, 4, 5)
These jumpers force an increase of the UART input clock frequency by a
factor of two, four, or eight. This feature can allow legacy software to use baud
rates above 115,200 bits per second. It is also useful if the serial port device
driver does not directly support setting the higher baud rates through the Options
Register (see section 4.5).
If one of these jumpers is applied, it overrides any value written to the
Options Register to set the clock multiplier by software. The effective baud rate
will be either two, four, or eight times the value for which the UART itself is
programmed.
DSCLP/SSCLP-200/300 User's Manual 13
The factory default is none of these jumpers applied, which allows for
software control of the clock multiplier via the Options Register. The Options
Register powerup default is for a standard times-1 clock of 1.8432 MHz for
compatibility with standard serial ports.

3 Hardware Installation
1. Turn off the power of the computer system in which the DSCLP-200/300
is to be installed.
2. Remove the system cover according to the instructions provided by the
computer manufacturer.
3. Make any desired optional jumper setting changes.
4. Install the DSCLP-200/300 in any empty PCI expansion slot. The board
should be secured by installing the Option Retaining Bracket (ORB)
screw.
5. Replace the system cover according to the instructions provided by the
computer manufacturer.
6. Attach and secure the cable connectors to the desired equipment.
7. Turn on the power of the computer system.
The output of the DSCLP-200/300 is a 25-pin D-connector. A cable is
provided to convert the D-25 into two standard female D-9 connectors. Please
see section 7.7 for a pin-out of the D-9 connector. The SSCLP-200/300 has a
single D-9 connector.
