Card Setup
Address and IRQ selection
The Ultra COMM+4.PCIe is automatically assigned I/O addresses and IRQs by your motherboard
BIOS or by a ‘Plug-n-Play’ Operating System. Adding or removing other hardware or moving the
adapter to another slot may change the assignment of I/O addresses and IRQs.
Clock Modes
The Ultra COMM+4.PCIe derives a 62.5MHz clock from the PCI express link which is divided by
a 8 bit clock prescaler and a 16 bit clock divisor to provide a wide range of possible baud rates.
Note that there are many combinations that can give the same result (e.g. Prescaler=1 and
Divisor = 8, Prescaler =2 and Divisor = 4, or Prescaler=8 and Divisor = 1). As long as the
calculated data rate is /- 2% you should communicate fine.
