The following Serial Card Setup section applies to the following PCI cards:
• 3PCIOU1 one port optically isolated PCI serial card
• 3PCIOU2 two port optically isolated PCI serial card
• 3PCIOU4 four port optically isolated PCI serial card
• 3PCIU2 two port non-isolated PCI serial card
• 3PCIU4 four port non-isolated PCI serial card
• 3PCIU8 eight port non-isolated PCI serial card
Any deviations from the procedure for specific models are noted.
Pre-Setup Steps
Your serial card has been tested for proper operation before packaging and shipping. It
should be in perfect mechanical and electrical condition upon receipt.
ESD Precautions
To ensure a successful installation and setup it is important that you follow the standard
ESD precautions outlined below:
CAUTION:
This is an Electrostatic Sensitive Device. Use ESD precautions for
safe handling.
Before removing the card from the anti-static protective packaging:
• Discharge any static electricity buildup on your body by touching a large
grounded metal surface or the metal chassis on equipment connected to
earth ground by a 3-wire power cord. Use of a grounding wrist strap is
recommended.
• Avoid touching the gold connectors or other parts on the card except
when necessary to set the configuration DIP switches.
•
Remove AC power from the computer before inserting the card
Initial Configuration
The ports in your MIport card are normally pre-configured for RS-232 operation. To ensure
the card is configured correctly for your desired operating mode, you will have to check
and/or set the three operating mode DIP switches on the card. If you are configuring for
RS-485 Mode you also may have to set up the RTS Control parameter in the device driver.
Note: Refer to Chapter 4 for information on Setting Driver Options.
