1 1 1 Introduction Overview Smartio - The Smart Multiport Async Solutions The term Smartio stands for smart multiport serial I/O solution. The Smartio C168 Series multiport boards offer 8 serial ports for connecting terminals, modems, printers, data acquisition equipment and any other serial devices to the PC/AT and its compatible systems. With the well-designed and fine-tuned device driver, the Smartio boards make full use of the 32 byte Tx/Rx FIFO and on-chip H/W flow control, so that they ca

RS-485 Mode The Opt8J supports only 2-wire RS-485 communication. Set the respective switch to ON position to use RS-485 interface. This means the port can transmit data only when RTS is asserted, and receive data only when RTS is not asserted (half-duplex). Refer to Chapter “Connection Option (Opt8x) and Cable Wiring” for RS-422/RS- 485 cable wiring. And also to Chapter “Serial Programming Tools” for Opt8J RS- 485 programming details.

2 2 2 Hardware Installation The installation of the Smartio C168 Series consists of hardware and software installation. The hardware installation is detailed in this chapter. The next chapter deals with the software installation for various operating systems. JP1 Smartio C168 Series Default Settings The Smartio C168 Series has the following default (factory) settings: I/O address: 0x180 (Port 1), 0x188 (Port 2), 0x190 (Port 3), 0x198 (Port 4) 0x1A0 (Port 5), 0x1A8 (Port 6), 0x1B0 (Port 7), 0x1B

Now you should do either the normal hardware installation (detailed in the later section, “Hardware Installation with IO-IRQ Utility”) or the quick hardware installation (detailed right in the next section, “Quick Hardware Installation”). The latter is provided to facilitate the hardware installation, only under the circumstances that: υ Only one Smartio C168 Series board is allowed to install in a system. υ Windows NT and 95/98 are the only operating systems supported. υ I/O address 0xA700

Hardware Installation software configuration program will automatically update the hardware settings. After this, users already complete the whole installation. 4. Shutdown System (Windows NT/95/98). 5. DO power OFF and then ON (or Reset) the PC. (Please cold start.) 6. Restart System (Windows NT/95/98). It is very important to keep the JP1 always short in this case. Without running the hardware configuration program, Io-irq.exe under DOS prompt, the software configuration program will automatic

Because the ASIC-designed Smartio C168 Series has no switch and no jumper for configuring manually the I/O address, IRQ, INT vector, etc. of the boards, you must run the software utility, Io-irq.exe, in the driver diskette under DOS system to change the hardware configuration. 1. Choose a PC that has DOS system inside. 2. Power off the PC. 3. Make sure no hardware conflict and plug the board in a free 16-bit slot of the PC, one board at a time with JP1 open. + If you are installing multiple

Hardware Installation typed correctly. With the correct CAP address, the utility can find the configuration stored in the on-board EEPROM and display it on the configuration panel. The CAP address is the only channel via which the configuration utility Io-irq.exe can access the board. 1. Run the utility “Io-irq.exe” contained in the driver diskette to set up I/O address, IRQ and INT vector of the board. 2. Select “Smartio/Industio ISA Family” and press ENTER key.

3. Enter the CAP address of the Smartio C168 Series board to be configured. 4. Configure the following parameters as necessary. Port Index Indicate the port index for each port. I/O address Enter the base I/O address for each port, either sequentially or not. Avoid to conflicting with any other devices. IRQ Enter the IRQ, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12 or 15, for each port, independently or not. Speed This field specifies the use of normal or high speed capability. Normal speed ranges from 50 bps
