Q：I still have problem to install "4 PORT RS-232  BUS CARD" (DCI920414) on Windows NT 4.0(SP6) / Windows 2000 Professional. May be I did something wrong? I have used all default settings for JPs on card. I have used driver installation on "Auto Studio (2000)" CD and just downloaded drivers from "wwwdecision.com.tw". I have used manual book too. I have done all instructions. I have check card settings and driver settings. They are the same as in documentation. But it does not work. The standard PC COM1 and COM2 work, but COM3, COM4, COM5 and COM6 keep silent when I try to read data from COM port in Windows terminal. The "COM_Diagnostics.exe"  tool hangs simply when I start COM port in this tool. I have been forced to end process of the "COM_Diagnostics.exe" in the task manager. Can you help me. Let me know more detail instructions. Info:

1. This card works on OS2,        

2. I have "8 PORT RS-232/422 ISA BUS CARD" too. This card works on both platforms without any problem.

Let me know you advice.

What have I do to start my card?

Q：We may be using this model board in several different PCs, with different addresses which can be used. So I need to know if I can always set the vector to 2 more than I set the switch on the board? If switch is 2C0, vector in software is 2C2 (from your last email). If switch is xx0, vector in software is xx2 ? Is this so? Or does vector depend on interrupt switch setting on board?

 

A：Please link on our web site to download the file it is a manual of PC COM 8 Port RS232.

Please see the PIC1 it is on the manual of PC COM 8 Port.

Q：I need the drivers for the PCCOM RS232 2 Port and 4 Port ISA bus card to run on WIN2000.

 

A：

About the PCCOM ISA 2Port Card setting：

 

1.You may set arbitrary I/O address and interrupts.

However, we suggest you use the following：

 

 

 

2. Modify Registry to support your card. Please following these steps：

(1)  Using Registry Editor, open the key：

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Serial\Parameters

For more information on using the Registry Editor, see Editing Registry Values in README. WRI in Windows 2000.

(2)  From the appropriate table below, add the serial* keys under Parameters.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

    +--SYSTEM

        +--CurrentcontrolSet

               +--Services

                  +--Serial

                      +--Parameters

                         +--…

                         +--Serial1

                         +--Serial2

                                      

(3)  Add corresponding values for each Serial* key you added.

 

   Add key

  

 

3. Quit REGEDT32.EXE, and enter the following two commands at the command prompt to activate the changes.

(1) Execute CMD.EXE in File menu

(2)Type

       Net stop serial

       Net start serial

The serial ports should now work. Restarting Windows 2000 will also activate the changes.

 

4. From COM1 to COM3 can be directly referenced just like a filename from program and from the command line.

However, COM4 and above must be referenced with the following syntax：   \\.\com4

The command line mode command doesn’t recognize ports above COM3.

 

2. Don’t overlap port address and interrupt vector address, otherwise, it may conflit with UART chips.
