1.Configure the port on the PCI card to the desired RS- 232/422/485 mode using the jumpers.
2.Install the card in the slot. Start the computer.
3.Windows will detect the PCI card, start the Add New Hardware Wizard, and begin driver installation. When installation is complete, Windows will set the hardware addressing & interrupt using the drivers and the Plug and Play function of the Operating System.
4.The driver installation proceeds in two parts. The first part installs the driver for the PCI Serial card. The second part installs the serial driver for the Com Port A (Port A=Port 1).
NOTE: The Optically Isolated 3PCIOSD1 PCI Serial Adapter card will be identified as the 3PCISD1 PCI Serial Adapter, both cards use the same drivers and are functionally the same to the Operating System.
