1. Introduction The SSP-100 is a single channel RS-232 asynchronous serial adapter for systems equipped with PCMCIA Type II and/or Type III expansion sockets. The SSP-100 is a PCMCIA Type II (5 mm) card and is PCMCIA PC Card Standard Specification 2.1 compliant. PCMCIA Card Cable Assembly Standard D-9 Male Figure 1. SSP-100 Card and Cable Assembly The SSP-100 unit's serial port is implemented using a 16C550 Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART), which is the recommended communica

2. DOS / Windows 3.x Installation Two configuration software programs are provided with the SSP-100: a Client Driver, and a card Enabler. Both of these programs are executed from DOS (before entering Windows) and allow operation of the SSP-100 in both the DOS and Windows 3.x environments. For optimal operation, however, the Client Driver is the preferred method of installation and configuration. The table below highlights the differences between these programs. Client Driver (recommended

2.1 SSP-100 Client Driver for DOS In order to use the SSP-100 Client Driver, the system must be configured with Card and Socket Services software. Card and Socket Services software is not provided with the SSP-100 but is available from Quatech. IMPORTANT: Some versions of Card and Socket Services dated before 1993 do not support general purpose I/O cards. If after careful installation of the Client Driver the adapter does not configure or operate properly, an updated version of Card and Socke

version of Card and Socket Services must be installed on the system or the SSP-100 Enabler program must be used to configure the adapter. If the Client Driver reports the desired adapter configuration, the installation process is complete and the SSP-100 may be removed and/ or inserted from the system as desired. On each insertion into the PCMCIA socket, the SSP-100 will be automatically reconfigured according to the command line options. 2.1.2 Command Line Options The SSP-100 Client Driver a

option. If no number is specified, the SSP-100 will be configured as the next available COM Port using the standard base address and IRQ settings for that COM port. If this option is omitted, the user must either specify a base address or IRQ setting for the SSP-100 or allow Card and Socket Services to select a base address and IRQ to configure the card. When the “A” command is used, the “B”, “I”, and “E” commands must not be used. 2.1.2.1 Example 1 DEVICE = C:\SSP-100\SSP100CL.SYS In

DEVICE = C:\SSP-100\SSP100CL.SYS (b300,i5) (i10) ( ) In example 5, three command line arguments are provided. The Client Driver will first attempt to configure a SSP-100 inserted into any socket with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. The BIOS equipment list will not be updated. If address 300H or IRQ 5 is unavailable, the Client Driver will proceed to the second command line argument and attempt to configure the card with a base address assigned by Card and Socket Services and IRQ 10. If IRQ

2.1.2.7 Example 7 DEVICE = C:\SSP-100\SSP100CL.SYS (s0,b300,i5) (s1,b340,i10) The type of configuration shown in example 7 may be desirable in systems where more than one SSP-100 is to be installed. In this example, the Client Driver will attempt to configure a SSP-100 inserted into socket 0 with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. If the SSP-100 is inserted into socket 1, the Client Driver will attempt to configure it with base address 340H and IRQ 10. This allows the user to force the SSP-10

2.1.3 Common Problems Generic Client Drivers: Many Card and Socket Services packages include a generic client driver (or SuperClient) which configures standard I/O devices. If one of these generic client drivers is installed, it may configure the SSP-100 causing the SSP-100 client driver to fail installation. In these cases, the user should do one of the following: 1. modify the operation of the generic client driver to disable the configuration of modem/serial port cards. Consult the Card an

2.2 SSP-100 Enabler for DOS For systems that are not operating PCMCIA Card and Socket Services software, the SSP-100 DOS Enabler may be used to enable and configure the adapter. This Enabler, SSP100EN, will operate on any DOS system using an Intel 82365SL or PCIC compatible PCMCIA host adapter including the Cirrus Logic CL-PD6710 / 6720, the VLSI VL82C146, and the Vadem VG-365 among others. IMPORTANT: In order to use the SSP-100 Enabler for DOS, the system MUST NOT be configured with Card and

2.2.1 Command Line Options To configure a SSP-100 in the system, the Enabler requires one command line argument from the user to determine the configuration of the card. This argument must be enclosed in parentheses and within the argument, any or all of the following parameters may be specified using a comma (no spaces) to separate each parameter: Ssocket specifies which PCMCIA socket the SSP-100 must be inserted into for this configuration argument to be used. socket must be in the range 0 -

Before removing a SSP-100 from its PCMCIA socket, the Enabler should be executed to free the system resources allocated when the card was installed. For this operation the Enabler provides on additional command line option: R instructs the enabler to release the resources previously allocated to the SSP-100. When the 'R' option is used, any settings specified by the 'B', and 'I' options are ignored. The BIOS equipment list WILL NOT be cleared of the SSP-100 upon execution of the release co

2.2.1.4 Example 4 SSP100EN (s0,b300,i3,wd8) In example 4, the Enabler will configure the SSP-100 in socket 0 with a base address of 300H and IRQ 3 using a configuration memory window at segment D800. 2.2.1.5 Example 5 SSP100EN (i5,b340,s1) In example 2, the Enabler will configure the SSP-100 in socket 1 with a base address of 340H and IRQ 5 using a configuration memory window at segment D000. 2.2.1.6 Example 6 SSP100EN (s0,b300,i5,r) In example 6, the Enabler will release the configuration u
