Identification

This document is the user manual for the HSS8 Windows NT 4 Software Driver for the C²I² Systems 8-Channel
High-Speed Serial I/O (HSS8) Adapter and the 4-Channel New Generation High-Speed Serial Adapter
(HSS4NG). The HSS4NG is based on a stripped down HSS8 Adapter and as such this manual applies, except
that only SCC channels 1 - 4 and SMC channels 9 - 10 will be available.

1.2

Introduction

The HSS8 Adapter provides eight channels of simultaneous, high-speed, bi-directional serial communications
and an additional four channels of lower-speed serial communications. The eight high-speed channels are
jumper configurable (on a per channel basis) for RS-232 or RS-422/485 drivers while the lower-speed channels
have RS-232 drivers only.

The HSS8 Windows NT 4 software driver is a low level, device-dependent interface for transferring data over
a C²I² Systems HSS8 Adapter. The HSS8 Windows NT 4 Software Driver binaries are provided with explicit
installation instructions.

The HSS8 Windows NT 4 Software Driver will also run as a legacy software driver under Windows 2000 or XP,
but does not support Plug and Play (PnP), Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) or power
management.

The HSS8 Windows NT 4 Software Driver distribution consists of (at least) the following files :
