Hardware Installation with IO-IRQ Utility

This section is for those who can not use quick hardware installation:

•Install two or more Industio CI-134 Series boards in a system.

•Fail to install, due to the I/O address 0xA700 is not available or has conflict in the system.

•Use operating systems other than Windows NT and 95/98.

Before proceeding to the softwar e (dr iver ) installation, detailed in the next chapter, “Software Installation”, do har dwar e configur ation to setup the I/O and IRQ with “Io-ir q.exe”, detailed in the next section.

Remember to keep the hardware settings in mind for the software installation.

Because the ASIC-designed Industio CI-134 Series has no switch and no jumper for manually configuring the I/O address, IRQ, INT Vector, etc. of the boards, you must run the software utility, Io-ir q.exe, in the driver diskette under DOS system to change the hardware configuration.

1.Choose a PC that has DOS system inside.

2.Power off the PC.

3.Make sure no hardware conflict and plug the board in a free 16-bit slot of the PC, one boar d at a time with J P1 open.

+If you are installing multiple boards, insert one board at a time and configure it using the Io-irq program before inserting the next board. This is to prevent conflict between two boards with same default hardware settings.

The Industio CI-134 Series has the following default (factory) settings, I/O address: 0x180 (1st port), 0x188 (2nd port), 0x190 (Port 3), 0x198 (Port 4)

IRQ: 10

INT Vector: 0x1C0

Configuration Access Port (CAP): 0x180
