Smartio
C168H/HS User’s Manual
Because the ASIC-designed
Smartio
C168 Series has no switch and no jumper for
configuring manually the I/O address, IRQ, INT vector, etc. of the boards, you
must
run the software utility,
Io-irq.exe
, in the driver diskette under
DOS
system to
change the hardware configuration.
1.
Choose a PC that has
DOS
system inside.
2.
Power off the PC.
3.
Make sure no hardware conflict and plug the board in a free 16-bit slot of the PC,
one board at a time with JP1 open
.
+
If you are installing multiple boards, insert one board at a time and
configure it using the Io-irq program before inserting the next board.
This is to prevent conflict between two boards with same default
hardware settings.
The
Smartio
C168 Series has the following default (factory) settings,
I/O address:
0x180
(Port 1),
0x188
(Port 2),
0x190
(Port 3),
0x198
(Port4)
0x1A0
(Port 5),
0x1A8
(Port 6),
0x1B0
(Port 7),
0x1B8
(Port 8)
IRQ:
10
INT Vector:
0x1C0
Configuration Access Port (CAP):
0x180
4.
Power on the PC and enter into
DOS
system.
5.
Run the utility “
Io-irq.exe
” contained in the driver diskette to set up I/O address,
IRQ and INT vector of the board. Please refer to the next section, “IO-IRQ
Utility and Hardware Configuration” for more details. Or follow the on-line help
to configure the
Smartio
C168 Series board.
After completing the hardware configuration, the board is ready for use under
operating systems, such as Windows NT and 95/98, DOS, UNIX etc.
IO-IRQ Utility and Hardware Configuration
Note that the CAP address, e.g. 0x180, is identical to
the first port's I/O address
except in one case that the JP1 jumper is installed before powering on the PC. In
this case, the CAP address will be forced to
0xA700
. The CAP address must be
