Chapter 1 Serial Solutions

This chapter is a brief description of the Serial Solutions software package; this

can also be purchased SEPARATELY and is available from YOUR DEALER.

The perfect partner for anySerial Port is Serial Solutions Software! Serial

Solutions is a fully featured suite of programs designed to squeeze the most from

PC serial communications.

Serial Solutions is made up of the following components: -

Serial Solutions for DOS

Serial Solutions for Windows 3.x

Serial Solutions for Windows 9x

Serial Solutions for Windows NT

Serial Solutions for Windows 2000

All the Serial Solutions drivers have the following features: -

Drivers for PC FIFO UARTs e.g. 16550 as well as the new improved 32 byte

16650 and 64 byte 16750 UARTs.

Support for any mix of RS232, RS422, and RS485 handshake schemes.

Support for wider range of Baud rates and for more than 4 serial ports.

Serial Solutions For DOS.

Serial Solutions for DOS consists of the following programs: -

NewCOM.sys

A device driver, it supports COM1 to COM16, allowing 16 serial ports to be

used under DOS. It also includes an interrupt handler for enhanced performance

with user definable buffer sizes. Accessible from all DOS languages, it is the

heart of the Serial Solution.

It has extensive handshaking support, implementing both hardware handshaking

using any combination of the DTR, DSR, CTS, RTS, and DCD lines, and a

software handshake using the XON/XOFF protocol.

NewCOM24.sys

A device driver providing support for 24 ports.

NewCOM32.sys

A device driver providing support for 32 ports.

NewMode.exe

A replacement for the DOS ’mode com...’command. NewMode is used to set the

serial parameters, including the port address, IRQ line used, the baud rate, parity

and data and stop bit options. Baud rates supported are from 110 baud to

115,200 baud! Included is a very handy query mode that reports the settings of

the various serial ports. Flexible and fast!

EASY programs

PCI Quad 422/485 Card Chapter 1 Serial Solutions • 3

The EASY disk contains short, simple to understand and use EASYBAS,

EASYC and ASYPAS programs, providing straight forward, file type I/O to

serial ports with debug information. Use these FIRST, base your sample

applications on them. Source code, make files and compiled ready to run

programs supplied.

TERM programs

A suite of larger terminal emulation programs written in C (Cterm), Assembly

language (Aterm), Pascal (Pasterm), BASIC (BASterm) and FORTRAN

(FORterm) show how to access the NEWBIOS routines as well as the simple file

I/O to ports. They contain many lines of code and are thus harder to grasp. They

demonstrate in depth serial port programming in a variety of languages but they

are also useful tools for using serial devices.

Comtest.exe

Comtest is a short but invaluable program that is used to check that the serial

port at a particular I/O address is functioning correctly and is connected to the

particular IRQ line. The program correctly identifies the UART type by

employing the built in loop back capability of the PC serial port chip, a full test

of the baud rate generator, transmitting and receiving buffer, parity enable and

start stop bit is performed. There is no need for a second serial port or a cable

when using this utility.

Serial Solutions For Windo s 3.x

Serial Solutions for Windows 3.x works with Windows 3.0, 3.1 and 3.11 as well

as Windows For Workgroups 3.11.

Serial Solutions for Windows 3.x consists of the following programs: -

Setup.exe

The install routine for the package.

Port.DLL

Enhanced Control Panel applet. Allows configuration of extra serial ports from

the Windows Control Panel. Supports single as well as multiport cards using

shared interrupts.

BbLynx.drv

Replacement for COMM.DRV.

LynxAPI.dll

Enhancement to the Windows Comms API’s allowing support for more than 9

ports.

Term.exe

Terminal program.

EasyCWIN

C source code, project files and ready to run.exe program for an easy to

understand Windows terminal program. Learn how to write Windows comms

apps correctly the easy way.

PCI Quad 422/485 Card Chapter 1 Serial Solutions • 4

Serial Solutions For Windo s 9x.

Chapter 2 Hard are

Configration

Introduction

This chapter details the specifications of the PCI quad RS422/485 card and

explains how to configure the RS485 Multiplex jumpers present on both cards.

These half-sized cards will work happily in any PCI 2.0 or greater compliant PC

compatible.

Card Features.

Four independent 9 pin D RS422/485 Serial ports.

Reliable communications up to 4000 feet, 1.2 Kilometres.

port.

Maximum baud rate of 912600 Baud (1 Megabaud).

Word length of 5, 6, 7 or 8 bits.

Even, Odd, None, Mark or Space parity options.

1 start bit always sent.

1, (1.5 for 5-bit data word length), or 2 stop bits.

TXD, RXD, RTS, and CTS signals.

RS485 TXD/RXD multiplex selectable by jumpers: - either FULL

DUPLEX or HALF-DUPLEX.

Autogating.

Multitasking operating systems, like Windows 95, Windows NT, OS/2 and

UNIX, cannot successfully use the RTS line to control the gating of the PC’s

transmitter. Whilst they can set the RTS line true just before the data

transmission starts, they cannot set the RTS line false quickly enough after the

data has gone. This is due to the time slicing mechanism used by these

multitasking operating systems. The interrupt service routines in multitasking

OS’s have a long latency, i.e. time taken to switch context from the foreground

program to the interrupt routine. During this time, the first few bytes of the

external devices reply to the PC may be lost since the serial port transmitter is

still gated onto the twisted pair cable.

To overcome this problem, The 16950 has on chip autogating. This option

requires a special device driver (supplied) this automatically detects the start of

the PC’s data transmissions, and gates the PC’s transmitter onto the twisted pair

cable. It then automatically detects the last stop bit being sent and gates the port

off the twisted pair cable but to an application on the host PC. It looks just like

an ordinary RS232 COM port. Autogating for half duplex operation is a

necessity for Windows 95, NT and Windows 2000.
