RS422/485 SERIAL INTERFACE PLUS
NOTE
Be sure to set the address selections and jumper options before
installation.
The RS422/485 Serial Interface Plus contains several jumpers that must be set
for proper operation.
E1: This header selects the interrupt request for the RS422/485 Serial
Interface Plus. If COM1: is selected, this jumper must be on the IRQ4 setting.
If COM2: is selected, this jumper must be on IRQ3. Any two or more ports
can share a common IRQ by placing the jumpers on the same IRQ setting,
and setting the appropriate selections at E3. Consult your particular software
for IRQ selection. If no interrupt is desired, remove the jumper.
NOTE
Most communications-software applications default COM3: to IRQ4 and
COM4: to IRQ3. This requires the sharing of interrupts between COM1:
and COM3:, and between COM2: and COM4:. While this is the default, it
is not always the preferred setting. Windows 3.1, OS/2, and UNIX
®
applications typically require a separate IRQ setting for each address.
Check your software configuration instructions to determine the most
appropriate.
