Card Setup

Clock Modes

The VERSA COMM+4.PCI employs a unique clocking option that allows the

end user to select from divide by 4, divide by 2 and divide by 1 clocking modes.

This mode is selected at J5.

To select the Baud rates commonly associated with COM: ports (i.e. 2400,

4800, 9600, 19.2, … 115.2K Bps) place the jumper in the divide by 4 mode

(silk-screen DIV4).

DIV1

DIV2

DIV4

Figure 1-Clocking Mode ‘Divide By 4’

To double these rates up to a maximum rate for 230.4K bps place the jumper in

the divide by 2 (silk-screen DIV2) position.

To select the maximum data rate (460.8K bps) place the jumper in the divide by

1 (silk-screen DIV1) position.

Address and IRQ selection

The VERSA COMM+4.PCI is automatically assigned I/O addresses and IRQs

by your motherboard BIOS. Only the I/O address may be modified by the user.

Adding or removing other hardware may change the assignment of I/O

addresses and IRQs.

Installation

Sealevel Systems VERSA COMM+4.PCI Page 5

Installation

Operating System Installation

For Windows Users

Start by choosing Install Software at the beginning of the CD. Choose

Asynchronous COM: Port Software, SeaCOM.

Other Operating Systems

Refer to the appropriate section of the Serial Utilities Software.

System Installation

The VERSA COMM+4.PCI can be installed in any of the PCI expansion slots

and contains a single jumper strap that must be set for proper operation. Please

see the Card Setup section of the manual for information on this jumper.

1. When running Windows 9x/NT install software before installing adapter.

2. Turn off PC power. Disconnect the power cord.

3. Remove the PC case cover.

4. Locate an available PCI slot and remove the blank metal slot cover.

5. Gently insert the VERSA COMM+4.PCI into the slot. Make sure that the

adapter is seated properly.

6. Replace the screw.

7. Replace the cover.

8. Connect the power cord.

Installation is complete.

Technical Description

Sealevel Systems VERSA COMM+4.PCI Page 6

Technical Description

The VERSA COMM+4.PCI utilizes the 16C554 UART. This chip features

programmable baud rate, data format, interrupt control and a 16-byte input and

output FIFO, and is functionally 4 16C550 UARTs. The 16C654 UART is also

available on this card, which has a 64-byte FIFO as opposed to the 16-byte

FIFO available in the 16C554.

Interrupts

A good description of an interrupt and its importance to the IBM PC can be

found in the book ‘Peter Norton’s Inside the PC, Premier Edition’:

“ One of the key things that makes a computer different from any other kind of

man-made machine is that computers have the capability to respond to the

unpredictable variety of work that comes to them. The key to this capability is a

feature known as interrupts. The interrupt feature enables the computer to

suspend whatever it is doing and switch to something else in response to an

interruption, such as the press of a key on the keyboard.”

A good analogy of a PC interrupt would be the phone ringing. The phone ‘bell’

is a request for us to stop what we are currently doing and take up another task

(speak to the person on the other end of the line). This is the same process the

PC uses to alert the CPU that a task must be preformed. The CPU upon

receiving an interrupt makes a record of what the processor was doing at the

time and stores this information on the ‘stack’; this allows the processor to

resume its predefined duties after the interrupt is handled, exactly where it left

off. Every main sub-system in the PC has it’s own interrupt, frequently called

an IRQ (short for Interrupt ReQuest). The following IRQ table will define the

system IRQs as well as show typically free IRQs.

In these early days of PCs Sealevel Systems decided that the ability to share

IRQs was an important feature for any add-in I/O card. Consider that in the IBM

XT the available IRQs were IRQ0 through IRQ7. Of these interrupts only IRQ2-

5 and IRQ7 were actually available for use. This made the IRQ a very valuable

system resource. To make the maximum use of these system resources

Sealevel Systems devised an IRQ sharing circuit that allowed more than one

port to use a selected IRQ. This worked fine as a hardware solution but

presented the software designer with a challenge to identify the source of the

interrupt. The software designer frequently used a technique referred to as

‘round robin polling’. This method required the interrupt service routine to

‘poll’ or interrogate each UART as to its interrupt pending status. This method

of polling was sufficient for use with slower speed communications, but as

modems increased their through put abilities this method of servicing shared

IRQs became inefficient.
