APPENDIX G
WINDOWS/NT CONFIGURATION For version 3.51 up


The PCCOM 4 port adapter can be installed in the Windows NT by using serial device driver in the distribution diskette, and the device driver will detect 8250, 16450, 16550, 16650 chips automatically.

G.1 Installation

1.
You may set arbitrary I/O address and interrupts. However, we suggest you use the following:

Enhance Mode
I/O port address = 2A0 H
Interrupt = IRQ5

2.
Insert the distribution diskette into floppy disk drive, then run SETUP.EXE.
3.
Click ¡§PCCOM98 Setup Panel¡¨ to run configuration setup.
4.
Select your card type and the correct address/IRQ value, then press [OK].
5.
When a dialog box presents "Setup Complete", restart Windows NT to let driver work or execute the following two commands:

net stop serial               //stop the origin driver
net start serial               //start our new driver

then our driver will start to work.

6.
The COM1 to COM9 can e directly referenced just like a filename from program and from the command line. However, COM10 and above must be referenced with the following syntax:

\\.\com10

Because the command line mode doesn't recognize ports above COM9.

7.
Don't overlap port address and interrupt vector address, otherwise, it may conflict with UART chips.
8.
If you need install more than one card, please run "PCCOM98 Setup Panel" again. Do not set the same address and interrupt.
