1 General Information The Quatech, Inc. DSC-200/300 provides two RS- 422 or RS-485 asynchronous serial communication interfaces for IBM-compatible personal computer systems using the PCI expansion bus . The DSC-200/300 uses Quatech's new Enhanced Serial Adapter design. Legacy serial port data rates are limited to a maximum of 115,200 bits per [...]

1 . 1 Features T he standard DSC-200/300 implements each of its communication channels with a 16750 UART and uses standard line driver and receiver components. For improved performance and indust rial -grade reliability . 1 . 1 . 1 " IND " Option --- Surge Suppression Upgrade The " IND " upgrade provides the protection essential[...]

2 Hardware Configuration The DSC-200/300 is automatically configured at boot time by the computer's BIOS or operating system. There are no required switches or jumpers to set for installation. This chapter lists a number of jumper settings that control various hardware features. Jumpers J1-J4 , located in a column near the D-9 connectors, cont[...]

2 . 2 Signal Connections The DSC-200/300 provides each of two serial ports with four differential signal pairs: TxD, RxD, AUXOUT, and AUXIN. TxD and RxD are always present at the connector. The AUXOUT and AUXIN signals can be used to support RTS/CTS handshaking, external clocking, or external signal loopback. The factory default configuration, as s[...]

2 . 4 Clock Rate and Optional Registers Figure 3 shows the jumper configuration as shipped from the factory, with two spare jumpers applied in neutral positions. Remove one or both and apply as shown in following sub sections to set optional features. SPAD X2 X4 X8 J10 J11 J12 J13 Figure 3 --- Factory default clock rate and options settings 2 . 4 .[...]

2 . 4 . 2 Force High-Speed UART Clock (X2, X4, or X8, J 10 -J 12 ) These jumpers force an increase of the UART input clock frequency by a factor of two, four, or eight. This feature can allow legacy software to use baud rates above 115,200 bits per second. It is also useful if the serial port device driver does not directly support setting the high[...]

3 Hardware Installation 1. Turn off the power of the computer system in which the DSC-200/300 is to be installed. 2. Remove the system cover according to the instructions provided by the computer manufacturer. 3. Make any desired optional jumper setting changes. 4. Install the DSC-200/300 in any empty PCI expansion slot. The board should be secured[...]

4 Address Map and Special Registers This chapter explains how the two UARTs and special registers are addressed, as well as the layout of those registers. This material will be of interest to programmers writing driver software for the DSC-200/300. 4 . 1 Base Address and Interrupt Level (IRQ ) The base address and IRQ used by the DSC-200/300 are de[...]

4 . 2 Enabling the Special Registers The DSC-200/300 contains two unique registers, an Interrupt Status Register and an Options Register. These registers are enabled when the SPAD jumper (J13) is removed (factory default). They replace the UART Scratchpad Register on accesses to register address 7. The Interrupt Status Register and Options Register[...]

4 . 4 Options Register The Options Register allows software to identify the DSC-200/300 as a Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter. It also allows software to set the UART clock rate multiplier. Figure 10 shows the structure of the Options Register. The powerup default of the Options Register is all bits zero. Clock rate multiplier bit 0 RR0 0 Clock rate[...]

4 . 4 . 2 Clock Rate Multiplier A standard serial port operates at a clock speed of 1.8432 MHz. In order to achieve higher data rates, Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapters can operate at two times , four times, or even eight times this standard clock speed. This is controlled by the clock rate multiplier bits in the Options Register. Software can deter[...]

5 . 5 Using the " New Hardware Found" Wizard The following instructions provide step-by-step instructions on installing the DSC-200/300 in Windows using the "New Har dware Found " wizard. 1. After booting the computer with a newly-installed DSC-200/300, the "New Hardware Found" dialog box will appear. If you have never[...]

9. The "New Hardware Found" dialog will repeat for each of the serial ports on the DSC-200/300 as each port is registered with Windows. 10. Installation is complete. 5 . 6 Windows NT The Windows NT device driver is installed by running the SETUP program. Up to 256 serial ports are supported. There is a command line-based configuration uti[...]

6 DOS and Other Operating Systems The DSC-200/300 is not a direct drop-in replacement for a legacy serial port because its base address and IRQ cannot be fixed at values such as 3F8 hex, IRQ 4 (COM1) or 2F8 hex, IRQ 3 (COM2), etc. Rather, the system BIOS assigns the address and the IRQ in a plug-and-play fashion at boot time. Software which is to u[...]

8 External Connections The DS C-200/300 provides four differential communication signals per channel. The two output signals are Transmit Data (TxD) and Auxiliary Output (AUXOUT). The two input signals are Receive Data (RxD) and Auxiliary Input (AUXIN). A ground signal is also provided. The available input signals for AUXIN are Clear To Send (CTS) [...]

8 . 1 RTS/CTS Handshake Transmission of RTS, combined with reception of CTS, allows for hardware handshaking (data flow control) between the UART and the external device. RTS is transmitted on AUXOUT by connecting pins 4 and 5 of the jumper block. CTS is received on AUXIN by connecting pins 1 and 2 of the jumper block. If RTS/CTS handshaking is not[...]

8 . 3 XCLK This is the output clock signal used by the transmitter portion of the UART. It is generally connected to the UART's own receive clock input (RCLK). This is done by connecting pins 3 and 6 of the jumper block. If desired, XCLK can be transmitted to an external source over the AUXOUT line by connecting pins 5 and 6 of the jumper bloc[...]

8 . 5 Half-Duplex/Full-Duplex Selection Using jumper blocks J6 and J8, the transmitters and receivers of each channel can be enabled and disabled by modem control signals. This allows operation in both half-duplex or full-duplex modes. The transmit drivers can be controlled by either the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) or the Request to Send (RTS) output[...]
