I/O650 Driver Installation Notes: Table of Contents: ------------------ Section 1- Installing for Windows 3.1 Section 2- Installing for Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Section 3- Installing for Windows 95 Section 4- Using baud mapping. ============================================================================ Section 1. WINDOWS 3.1 ============================================================================ To install the I/O 650 Drivers and Configuration program follow these steps: 1. Insert the IO650 driver diskette into your A: (or B:) drive. 2. From the Windows Program Manager, select File..., then Run..., and type A:SETUP (or B:SETUP). 3. Follow all-on-screen directions. 4.

To enable high baud rate mapping, click on the OFF button to change to ON. Then select the Clock Jumper Position and specify one of the following pairs of addresses: 2C0 and 2C8 2D0 and 2D8 3C0 and 3C8 7. Following this, the Configurator will make changes to your SYSTEM.INI file. Follow all on-screen directions to complete configuration. 8. After the setup program has completed you MUST restart Windows in order for your changes to take effect. ============================================================================ Section 2. Windows for Workgroups 3.11 ============================================================================ Installation is the same as Windows 3.1 ============================================================================ Section 3. WINDOWS 95 ============================================================================ To install the I/O 650 Drivers and Configuration program follow these steps: NOTE: In Windows 95, you MUST install the drivers BEFORE installing the adapter board. 1. Insert the IO650 driver diskette into your A: (or B:) drive. 2. From the Start Button, select Run..., and type A:SETUP (or B:SETUP). 3. Setup launches both the 'New Hardware Wizard' and a installation instruction window. Follow all instructions on screen. For step 7, select '2 port 16650 card'. Use the COM PORT properties dialog box from the Device Manager tab in the system applet of the control panel. There you can select the desired settings for the IO650. With Baud Mapping turned off, the baud rate you select will be the baud rate used. The following section describes what happens when you turn baud mapping on. ============================================================================ Section 4. BAUD MAPPING. ============================================================================ Baud mapping allows older applications to operate at baud rates that are not usually supported by an application. For example, if the highest baud rate that your application supports is 115200, then you can can turn baud mapping on to operate at higher speeds. When baud mapping is turned on, the I/O 650 multiplies the requested baud rate by four. Selecting a baud rates of 57600 actually becomes 230kbaud, and selecting 115200 actually produces 460kbaud. See the user manual for more details on 'baud mapping'.Download Driver Pack
