board will have different system configurations if switching to a different PCI slot, which may be called slot-sensitiveor slot-dependent. This may also apply to PCI slots in PC with different motherboard, which may use different device number sets. For example, some use 17, 18, 19, and 20 for identifying the respective PCI slots but some use 11, 12, 13 and 14.
Due to the slot-dependency, it is necessary to re-configure the software driver once the board is plugged in different PCI slots.
Up to 4 Smartio C104H/PCI Series boards are allowed in one system. When installing more than one board, please remember the order of boards for distinguishing the installed boards.
UART 16C550C
The UART chip 16C550C is an intelligent asynchronous controller supporting one full duplex channel that simultaneously transfers data at 921.6 Kbps speed. To increase the overall data throughput, special features such as on-chip FIFO and on- chip hardware flow control are used to reduce the number of interrupts to the onboard CPU and to prevent any loss of valuable data.
