Chapter 1. Product Description The IBM ARTIC186 8-Port Adapter ( 8-port adapter ) provides up to eight serial communications links through optional cables.
Optional Adapter Cables The following adapter cables are available as options: 8-Port Direct Modem Attachment Cable The cable is 1.8 meters (6 feet) long. It has a 78-pin female connector at one end and eight cables with 25-pin male connectors at the other end.
Chapter 2. Installation and Requirements This chapter lists the hardware and software/microcode requirements and provides information for configuring and installing the 8-port adapter. Installation Requirements The 8-port adapter requires the following hardware, software, and microcode.
Handling Static-Sensitive Devices Components for your 8-port adapter can be damaged by static discharges. To prevent this damage, your 8-port adapter is wrapped in an anti-static bag.
Configuration Record Record the switch and jumper settings for your adapter in the following table. Later, you can refer to this information whenever you run the diagnostics or replace the adapter. Identifying Adapter Levels There are two levels of the 8-port adapter.
Switch and Jumper Locations The component locations differ depending on the level of the adapter. However, the function and settings of the jumpers and switches are the same. Figure 2-1. Switch and Jumper Locations Installation Procedure To install the 8-port adapter, perform the following steps.
The 8-port adapter has a 10-position switch block that selects configuration options for the adapter. The option switches are preset during manufacture to the following values. If your installation requires settings different than the preset values, perform each of the following.
Setting the ISA Connector Type: Switch 9 (ED) specifies the type of system connector used with the adapter: the double connector (16-bit ISA connector) or the single connector (8-bit ISA connector).
Record the instance number of the adapter (the first adapter is instance 0) and the base address in the configuration information for your system. Use the lowest base address first.
Setting the Interrupt Level: Switches 1 through 3 (L1, L2, and L4) select the interrupt level used by the adapter when it is installed in an ISA expansion slot. For information on selecting the interrupt level, see “Selecting an Interrupt Level” on page A-4.
Setting Communication Clock Jumpers: Set the communication-clock jumpers for ports 0 and 1 as shown. The jumper settings are described on the following pages. The location of the receive- and transmit-clock jumpers for ports 0 and 1 are different for the two levels of the adapter.
Transmit Clock Jumpers: The transmit-clock jumpers determine whether the transmit clocks for ports 0 and 1 are an output (the data-terminal equipment provides the clock) or an input (the data-communications equipment provides the clock). The following shows the settings for transmit clock jumpers.
Setting the Port Interface: The 8-port adapter has a set of jumpers used to select the serial interface used by each port. The interface is selected on a port-by-port basis for each of the eight ports. The jumper selects either an RS-232 or RS-485 interface for a given port; the default position is RS-232.
Installing the IBM ARTIC186 8-Port Adapter Use the following steps as a general guide to installing your adapter. For instructions specific to your computer, consult the documentation that came with your computer. 1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.

Chapter 3. Replacing the IBM ARTIC186 8-Port Adapter Use these procedures to remove a failing adapter and install the replacement. Removing the Adapter Note: For instructions specific to your computer, refer to the hardware and service information that came with your computer.
7. Grasp the adapter by the top corners and lift straight up. Installing the New Adapter Before You Begin There are two levels of the 8-port adapter. The levels are interchangeable; however, the relative location of the specific jumpers varies between them.
3. Insert the adapter in the same expansion slot. 4. Press down firmly on the adapter to seat the connector. 5. Install the adapter retaining screw. 6.

Chapter 5. Problem Determination Procedures | This chapter can help you determine if your 8-port adapter is operating properly. | To test the 8-port adapter, refer to the documents on the Web. To view the individual parts of the 8-port adapter and obtain part numbers, see “Service Parts” on page 5-2.
Diagnostic Wrap Plugs Diagnostic wrap tests are performed at the connector on the adapter and at a specific port connector on the cable. The diagnostic program prompts you when to install the wrap plug. See “Cable and Cable Wrap Plug Part Numbers” on page 4-2 for the part numbers for the cable wrap plugs.
Appendix A. Special Configuration Information for DOS and OS/2 | This appendix is specific to the DOS and OS/2 operating systems. It contains information about the | following: | Creating an ICAPARM.
Example 1: One IBM ARTIC Adapter The following example shows an ICAPARM.PRM file that can be used if you have only one IBM ARTIC adapter installed in your computer. Field Number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1ð 11 # ðððð ðð ðð 1ð 1ð 1ð 1ð ðF Eð1ð $ Field Number Description 1 Beginning-Record Delimiter.
Example 2: Multiple IBM ARTIC Adapters The sequence of entries in the ICAPARM.PRM file determines the logical card numbering of the adapters (the first parameter line is for logical card 0). The logical card numbering for PCI adapters must match the physical card numbering.
Ctrl+Alt+Del Reset Considerations If pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys does not reset the 8-port adapter, change the entries in the ICAPARM.PRM file as follows.
Appendix B. Notices This information was developed for products and services offered in the U.S.A. IBM may not offer the products, services, or features discussed in this document in other countries.
