1 General Information The Quatech, Inc. ESC-100 provides eight RS-232 asynchronous serial communication interfaces for IBM-compatible personal computer systems using the PCI expansion bus . The ESC-100 uses Quatech's new Enhanced Serial Adapter design.
1 . 2 Features T he standard ESC-100 implements each of its communication channels with a 16750 UART and uses standard line driver and receiver components. For improved performance and indust rial -grade reliability, Quatech offers the fo llowing board upgrades: 1 .
2 Hardware Configuration The ESC-100 is automatically configured at boot time by the computer's BIOS or operating system. There are no required switches or jumpers to set for installation. This chapter lists a number of optional jumper settings that control various hardware features.
2 . 3 Force High-Speed UART Clock (X2, X4, or X8, J 1 -J 3 ) These jumpers force an increase of the UART input clock frequency by a factor of two, four, or eight.
3 Hardware Installation 1. Turn off the power of the computer system in which the ESC-100 is to be installed. 2. Remove the system cover according to the instructions provided by the computer manufacturer. 3. Make any desired optional jumper setting changes.
4 Address Map and Special Registers This chapter explains how the eight UARTs and special registers are addressed, as well as the layout of those registers.
4 . 2 Enabling the Special Registers The ESC-100 contains two unique registers, an Interrupt Status Register and an Options Register. These registers are enabled when the SPAD jumper (J 4 ) is removed (factory default). They replace the UART Scratchpad Register on accesses to register address 7.
4 . 4 Options Register The Options Register allows software to identify the ESC-100 as a Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter. It also allows software to set the UART clock rate multiplier. Figure 9 shows the structure of the Options Register. The powerup default of the Options Register is all bits zero.
4 . 4 . 2 Clock Rate Multiplier A standard RS-232 serial port operates at a clock speed of 1.8432 MHz. In order to achieve higher data rates, Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapters can operate at two times , four times, or even eight times this standard clock speed.
5 Windows Configuration 5 . 1 Windows Millennium 1. After inserting the ESC 100 for the first time the "Add New Hardware Wizard" will begin. Select "Search for the best driver for your device.". Check the "Removable media" and "Specify location" box.
5 . 2 Windows 2000 1. After inserting a ESC-100 for the first time, the "Add New Hardware Wizard will appear at start up. C lick the "OK" button. 2. The following dialog box insert the Quatech COM CD (shipped with the device). Click the "OK" button.
5 . 3 Windows 98 1. After inserting a ESC-100 for the first time, the "Add New Hardware Wizard will appear at start up. C l ick the "Next" button. 2. Select "Search for the best driver for you device". Click the "Next" button.
4. The following dialog box will display the appropriate INF file on the CD in drive. Click the "Next" button. 5. Window will copy the INF file from the CD and display a final dialog indic ation that the process is complete. Click the "Finish" button.
are not required to select the file name. After finding the directory containing the INF files, Windows 95 will choose the correct file. 4. The "New Hardware Found" dialog box will appear again, this time for an "Unknown Device." 5.
5 . 6 Viewing Resources with Device Manager The following instructions provide step-by-step instructions on viewing resources used by the ESC-100 in Windows using the "Device Manager" utility. Select Start|Help from within Windows for additional information on this utility.
assigned to your ports by Windows 95. This name is required by a Windows 95 application when accessing a particular port. Windows maintains a registry of all known hardware installed in your computer. Inside this hardware registry Windows keeps track of all of your system resources, such as I/O locations, IRQ levels, and DMA channels.
6 DOS and Other Operating Systems 6 . 1 DOS and other operating systems The ESC-100 is not a direct drop-in replacement for a legacy serial port because its base address and IRQ cannot be fixed at values such as 3F8 hex, IRQ 4 (COM1) or 2F8 hex, IRQ 3 (COM2), etc.
The QTPCI program is capable only of displaying the PCI configuration. It cannot be used to make changes. Q - Quatech PCI adapters N - Other PCI devices X - EXIT M - Change to Expert Mode Quatech PCI Configuration Information Display Software Version 1.
I/O regions, etc. Pressing the "N" key will show similar information for all non-Quatech PCI devices in the system, including those devices integrated on the motherboard.
7 OS/2 The OS/2 device driver supports up to 32 serial ports in a system. Installation is a manual, but simple, process. Please refer to the read me documentation included on the Quatech COM CD with the device driver for full installation and configuration details.
8 External Connections RS-232-C devices are classified by their function as either Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) or Data Communication Equipment (DCE).
8 . 1 ESC-100D Channel Output Configuration The ESC-100D connects to peripheral equipment through a single female D-78 connector, or using the adapter cable, eight male D-25 connectors. The standard serial port connections are listed in Figure 18 . Unlisted pins are not used and not connected.

8 . 2 ESC-100M Channel Output Configuration The ESC-100M connects to peripheral equipment through RJ-11 connectors, or using the optional adapter cables, male D-25 connectors. When the RJ-11 connector is converted to a D-25 connector, the adapter cables must be assembled with respect to either a DTE or DCE configuration.
The AUXIN and AUXOUT signals on the RJ-11 connector must be determined as well. Either CTS or DSR may be received on AUXIN . Either RTS or DTR may be transmitted on AUXOUT . The decision of which signals to use is made separately for each channel as shown in Figure 22 below.
