Serial Ports 

The EBX-38 features four on-board 16550-based serial communications channels located at 

standard PC I/O addresses. The serial ports can be operated in RS-232 4-wire, RS-422, or 

RS-485 modes. IRQ lines are chosen in the BIOS Setup utility. Each COM port can be 

independently enabled, disabled, or assigned a different I/O base address in the BIOS setup 

utility.  

Serial Port Connectors 

The figure below shows the location and pin orientation of the two serial port connectors.
