1. General Information The Quatech, Inc. QS-100D provides four RS-232 asynchronous serial communication interfaces for IBM-compatible personal computer systems using the 16-bit ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) expansion bus. The QS-100D is highly flexible with respect to addressing and interrupt level use. The serial ports are addressed in a contiguous block that can be placed anywhere within the range of 0000 hex to FFFF hex, and available interrupt levels include IRQ2 to IRQ7, IRQ10 to IR

1.1.1 IND Package The IND upgrade on the QS-100IND and QS-100IND750 boards provides the protection essential for reliable use in an industrial environment. Special line drivers and receivers are used which have 15kV ESD (Electro Static Discharge) protection, and each communication line has a surge suppressor capable of sustaining up to 40A transient surges (at 14V). 1.1.2 UART Upgrade The UART upgrade on the QS-100D750 and QS-100IND750 boards provides a 16750 UART in place of the 16550 UART foun

2.1 Setting the Base Address The base address of the QS-100D is set using the two DIP switch packs. When setting the address selection switches, a switch in the "ON" position specifies that the corresponding address line must be a logic 0 for the port to be selected. Similarly, a switch in the "OFF" position forces the corresponding address line to be a logic 1 for the port to be selected. A full sixteen bit address decode is implemented to reduce the chance of address conflicts with other ad

A serial port's address is a 16-bit quantity that is most often expressed in four hexadecimal (base 16) digits. A hex digit can hold a value from 0 to 15 (decimal), and is made up of four binary bits given weights of eight, four, two, and one, hence the maximum value of 8+4+2+1 = 15. A possible serial port address is 5220 hex. The example below shows how the hex digits are broken down into binary bits. Binary bits 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 Bit weight 8 4 2 1

2.2 Setting the Interrupt Level (IRQ) The QS-100D allows the use of any interrupt level in the range IRQ2 to IRQ7, IRQ10 to IRQ12, IRQ14, or IRQ15, selected using jumper pack J6. (Early versions of the QS-100D are limited to IRQ2-7.) In Figure 6, the factory default setting of IRQ3 is shown. To select a different IRQ, move the jumper to the appropriate position on J6. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 12 12 34 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Default is IRQ 3 --- J6 Figure 6 --- Interrupt level (IRQ) selection

The QS-100D signals a hardware interrupt when any port requires service. The interrupt signal is maintained until no port requires service. Because the ISA bus is edge-sensitive, this behavior forces the interrupt service routine to ensure that all ports are checked before exiting. A way to do this is to poll each port until an interrupting port is found. After servicing the port, all ports should be checked again. If any interrupting port is left unserviced the QS-100D will be unable to si

3. Windows 95 Configuration Windows 95 maintains a registry of all known hardware installed in your computer. Inside this hardware registry Windows 95 keeps track of all of your system resources, such as I/O locations, IRQ levels, and DMA channels. The "Add New Hardware Wizard" utility in Windows 95 was designed to add new hardware and update this registry. An “INF” configuration file is included with the QS-100D to allow easy configuration in the Windows 95 environment . Also a custom Windo
