1 General Information The Quatech, Inc. QSC-100 provides four RS-232 asynchronous serial communication interfaces for IBM-compatible personal computer systems using the PCI expansion bus. The QSC-100 uses Quatech's new Enhanced Serial Adapter design.
1.1 Features The standard QSC-100 implements each of its communication channels with a 16750 UART and uses standard line driver and receiver components.
2 Hardware Configuration The QSC-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, J3-J5) 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 QSC-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 four UARTs and special registers are addressed, as well as the layout of those registers.
4.2 Enabling the Special Registers The QSC-100 contains two unique registers, an Interrupt Status Register and an Options Register. These registers are enabled when the SPAD jumper (J6) 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 QSC-100 as a Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter. It also allows software to set the UART clock rate multiplier. Figure 8 shows the structure of the Options Register. The powerup default of the Options Register is all bits zero.
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. This is controlled by the clock rate multiplier bits in the Options Register.
5 Windows Configuration 5.1 Windows Mille nnium 1. After inserting the QSC 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 QSC-100 for the first time, the "Add New Hardware Wizard will appear at start up. Click the "OK" button. 2. The following dialog box insert the Quatech COM CD (shipped with the device). Click the "OK" button.
1. After inserting a QSC-100 for the first time, the "Add New Hardware Wizard will appear at start up. Click the "Next" button. 2. Select "Search for the best driver for you device". Click the "Next" button. 3. On the next dialog, select the " CD-ROM DRIVE " check box.
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 diskette and display a final dialog indication that the process is complete. Click the "Finish" button.
5. Again select the radio button for "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer." Click the "OK" button to continue. 6. Another "Install From Disk" dialog box will pop up. The path should already be pointing to the Quatech CD.
2. Click the "Device Manager" tab located along the top of the System Properties box. This lists all hardware devices registered inside the Windows 95 registry. Additional information is available on any of these devices by click on the device name and then selecting the "Properties" button.
The Windows NT device driver is installed by running the SETUP program. Up to 256 serial ports are supported. There is a command line-based configuration utility which is used for adding PCI bus and ISA bus serial ports.
6 DOS and Other Operating Systems The QSC-100 is not a direct drop-in replacement for a legacy serial port because its base address and IRQ 3 (COM2), etc. Rather, the system BIOS assigns the address and the IRQ in a plug-and-play fashion at boot time.

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).
The QSC-100 is a DTE device which connects to peripheral equipment through a single female D-37 connector, or using the adapter cable, four male D-25 connectors.
