ANTAIRA Msc-116a User manual

Congratulation on purchasing the high performance PCI multi-serial

host adapter. The adapter is high speed PCI bus based and

plug-and-play compliant. Its serial ports are fully 16C550 UART

compatible with most of the RS232C devices available from the

market.

Features:

Fully PCI Specifications 2.3 Compliant

Supports 16S RS232 ports over one single PCI slot.

16-byte deep FIFO per transmitter and receiver

Supports 5V or 12V on its VHDCI-68 connectors, provides an option to

supply power to all DB9 Connectors via the octopus cable

16C550 UARTs, Baud Rate up to 921.6Kbps

Automated in-band flow control using programmable Xon/Xoff in both

directions

Supports Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Win7 and Linux

JP3, JP2 and JP4 - External Power Selector: These jumpers were

used to provide the external power to the VHDCI-68 external

connector. JP3 enables or disables the power of S1~S8, JP2

enables or disables the power of S9~S16 over their octopus

cables. JP4 is used to select the power source (5V or 12V? from

PCI golden finger or J3 AUX power connector?).

JP3(JP2)

Settings

No power supplied to the VHDCI-

connector(s).

(default)

The VHDCI-

68 external connector will

be p

owered by the DC power source.

The power source will be determinted

by the JP1. The VHDCI-

68 octopus

cable will route the power to the pin

#9 of each DB9 male connectors

JP1

Settings

Internal 12V:

Power source is +12VDC,

from PCI golden finger (motherboard’

PCI slot)

(default)

External 12V: Power source is +12VDC,

from J2 AUX power connector.

External 5V: Power source is +5VDC,

from J2 AUX power connector.

JP1- COM Ports Swapping Selector: These jumpers were used to

swap Serial Ports S1-S8 and S9-S16. Please keep them at the

default factory settings since it may confuse you about the COM

Port Numbers.

JP1

Settings

No Swapping. The COM ports will be

mapped to S1 to S16 normally.

(default)

The COM ports wil

l be swapped as

follows:

S1 S9

S2 S10

S3 S11

S4 S12

S5 S13

S6 S14

S7 S15

S8 S16

Note 1:

PLEASE DO NOT LET WINDOWS AUTO SEARCH THE DRIVERS ON THE CD, it will

cause problems because the INF files will be conflict in this case. Instead,

please browse to the correct location (folder) manually to make sure the

correct drivers are chosen and installed correctly.
