Introduction
Comment:
If you are using only the UNIX system for Intelligent
Ports Card operation, you can skip this chapter and go
to Chapter 3, “UNIX System Device Driver
Installation.” If you plan to use MS-DOS under
Simul-Task 386, follow the procedures in Chapter 3.
The instructions in this chapter apply only to native
MS-DOS. See the section, “IPC-1600 Diagnostics,” in
Chapter 7 for diagnostics information.
This chapter provides instructions on how to install the MS-DOS device
driver and diagnostics, which are on the diskette labeled “Intelligent Ports
Card (IPC-1600) MS-DOS Device Drivers and Diagnostics, Version 1.0.”
Refer to Chapter 6, “System Features,” for information about the software
support offered through the MS-DOS device driver.
Note:
The same software is supplied on both a 5.25-inch diskette
and a 3.5-inch diskette.
The Intelligent Ports Card MS-DOS device driver supports the MS-DOS
level interfaces in such a way that virtually any software application can
access all serial I/O ports provided by the IPC-1600.
Requirement 1:
Requirement 2:
The IPC-1600 board(s) must be installed and the
I/O address, starting controller memory address,
and IRQ level initially set before executing the
IPC16CNF program.
Each board in the system must be assigned an
I/O address and the same starting controller
memory address. The hardware Interrupt
ReQuest (IRQ) level switches are all set to OFF
unless the UNIX system is also being used to
operate the board, in which case the UNIX
system switch setup takes precedence. If you
assign different controller memory addresses to
IPC-1600s, only one board at a time can be used
under native MS-DOS.
