CyberResearch® Serial Communications

1.Identify all I/O adapters currently installed in your system. This includes your on-board serial ports, controller cards, sound cards, etc. The I/O addresses used by these adapters, as well as the IRQ (if any) should be identified.

2.Configure your CyberResearch adapter so that there is no conflict with currently installed adapters. No two adapters can occupy the same I/O space.

3.Try the CyberResearch adapter with a unique IRQ. While the CyberResearch adapter does allow the sharing of IRQs, many other adapters (i.e., SCSI adapters & on-board serial ports) do not.

4.Make sure the CyberResearch adapter is securely installed.

5.For Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000, the diagnostic tool ‘WinSSD’ is installed in the SeaCOM folder on the Start Menu during the setup process. First find the ports using the Device Manager, then use ‘WinSSD’ to verify that the ports are functional.

6.For Windows CE and PocketPC, the utility ‘vxHpc’ is available from Cambridge Computer Corporation, free for a 30-day evaluation or a nominal charge for a license. ‘vxHpc’ is a high performance serial and telnet communication software application that can help you connect to various terminal devices and can also be used to perform a simple loopback test. The latest version and instructions are available here:

7.Remember, if ‘No Echo’ mode is selected, a data loopback cannot be accomplished.

8.Always use the CyberResearch diagnostic software when troubleshooting a problem. This will eliminate any software issues from the equation.
