1. 10 The Board ID and port mapping are the same which is set by the SW1 DIP switch The SW1 DIP switch has different functions under different OS For DOS users the SW1 DIP switch acts as Board ID When there are two or more multi port serial cards in a single system it is difficult to identify individual card number For easier identification the VXC series card includes a Board ID function For Windows users the SW1 DIP switch acts as COM port number selector and the COM port number is depending on the Board ID If the Board ID is 0 then the driver finds a valid number for each port If the Board ID is not 0 then the driver uses the Board ID to be the first COM port number and uses the Board ID 1 to be the next COM port number and so Note recommended to select a unique COM port number Board ID by users This helps users to identify and fix these cards and ports in a system without confuses Warning The port will not work if the COM port number is conflicted under Windows or Linux system In that case users should try other COM port numbers Usually the COM1 and are reserved by systems And it s recommended to reserve the and if you will have other Plug amp Play serial ports in the future This prevents confliction For Linux users it s the same as Windows users but for TTY device number selector The configuration examples are as follows SW kanaa2. 23 B Setup VxCard driver Completing the VxCard driver Setup Wizard amp To complete the installation of VxCard driver Setup must restart your computer Would you like to restart now Yes restart the computer now 8 Turn off the computer and install the VXC card into the PC 9 Power on the computer and system will find the new card and make it work automatically VXC 114U 144U 1441U User s Manual Ver 1 0 Sep 13 2007 31 3 4 2 Verification To verify the installation please complete the following steps 1 Select Start Settings Control Panel and double click the System icon 2 Click the Hardware tab and then click the Device Manager button The VXC Card is listed under the VXC Multi port serial Card class and each Communications Port is listed under the Ports VxCard RS 232 422 485 class r Device Manager ice C File Action View Help Display adapters 9 2 DVD CD ROM drives Floppy disk drives 8 Floppy drive controllers Human Interface Devices IDE ATA ATAPI controllers Keyboards A Mice and other pointing devices Monitors Network adapters a a Other devices 5 79 Ports COM amp LPT 3 17 Ports VxCard RS 232 422 485 VXC Card Communications Port 5 VXC Card Communications Port COM6 3 VXC Card Communications Port COM7 VXC Card Communicat
