See step 4 of the TurboPort/RA1 and TurboPort/RA2 Hardware Instruction Sheet for instructions on setting the jumper. To make use of any of the enhanced mode high performance capabilities of a TurboPort operating in a Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 environment, follow these steps to install the TurboPort Windows device driver: 1. Select "File" from the Program Manager or File Manager menu. Select the "Run" option and click "OK" after entering a:\windows\setup at the command line 2. Choose the "Install" option. Help messages can be accessed at any time during the installation process. Windows for Workgroups 3.11 supports remote access. Since standard COM ports can not reliably support baud rates greater than 19,200 baud, RAS does not normally allow modem access at higher baud rates. The TurboPort does not have this limitation, and higher baud rates can be achieved if your modem supports them. For example, to set a RAS modem connection up to 57,600 baud: 1. Select your modem type. 2. Edit the SERIAL.INI file to set MAXCONNECTBPS=57600. 3. Select a higher baud rate from RAS. Remember that when the TurboPort Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups (WFW) 3.11 device driver is installed, the baud rate you select is the baud rate you will get. It is only the TurboPort DOS configuration utility TURBOSET.EXE (whose installation instructions are also described in this README file) which sets the baud rate to 4 times the baud rate you select. Complete documentation for the TurboPort Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups (WFW) 3.11 device driver is available under the TurboPort's help page in the Control Panel. TurboPort non-Plug and Play Device Driver for Windows 95 NOTE If you use the TurboPort non-Plug and Play Windows 95 device driver for a TurboPort whose port has a mouse connected to it, then you must set that port's jumper for standard baud rate mode in order for the mouse to operate. See step 4 of the TurboPort/RA1 and TurboPort/RA2 Hardware Instruction Sheet for instructions on setting the jumper. To make use of any of the enhanced mode high performance capabilities of a non-Plug and Play TurboPort operating in a Windows 95 environment, follow these steps to install the TurboPort non-Plug and Play Windows 95 device driver: 1. Double-click the "Add New Hardware" icon in Control Panel. 2. Click on "Search for New Hardware" when the menu comes up. Help messages can be accessed at any time during the installation process. To reconfigure or remove the driver, use the "System" icon in Control Panel. Remember that when the TurboPort non-Plug and Play Windows 95 device driver is installed, the baud rate you select is the baud rate you will get. It is only the TurboPort DOS configuration utility TURBOSET.EXE (whose installation instructions are also described in this README file) which sets the baud rate to 4 times the baud rate you select. Complete documentation for the TurboPort non-Plug and Play Windows 95 device driver is available under the TurboPort's help page in the Control Panel. TurboPort Device Driver for Windows NT 3.5 NOTES * If you use the TurboPort Windows NT 3.5 device driver for a TurboPort whose port has a mouse connected to it, then you must set that port's jumper for standard baud rate mode in order for the mouse to operate. See step 4 of the TurboPort/RA1 and TurboPort/RA2 Hardware Instruction Sheet for instructions on setting the jumper. * If you use the TurboPort Windows NT 3.5 device driver for a TurboPort whose port has a serial device (other than a mouse) connected to it, then you must set that port's jumper for either the software-select mode or for the fast baud rate mode of operation. See step 4 of the TurboPort/RA1 and TurboPort/RA2 Hardware Instruction Sheet for instructions on setting the jumper. To make use of any of the enhanced mode high performance capabilities of a TurboPort operating in a Windows NT 3.5 environment, follow these steps to install the Windows NT 3.5 driver: 1. Double-click on the Control Panel icon in the Main window; then double-click on "Network." 2. Select "Add Software" from the "Network Settings" menu and install the driver from the WIN_NT subdirectory of this diskette. Complete documentation for the TurboPort Windows NT 3.5 device driver is available by clicking the "Help" button in the TurboPort's configuration setup menu. Remember that when the TurboPort Windows NT 3.5 device driver is installed, the baud rate you select is the baud rate you will get. It is only the TurboPort DOS configuration utility TURBOSET.EXE (whose installation instructions are also described in this README file) which sets the baud rate to 4 times the baud rate you select. TurboPort DOS Configuration Utilities To make use of any of the enhanced mode high performance capabilities of a TurboPort operating in a DOS or NetWare Connect client environment, the Star Gate-supplied DOS-based utilities Turboget and Turboset will allow you to view and to change the configuration settings of the ports. To access these utilities, copy the following files from the DOS subdirectory of this diskette (a:\dos) to a directory on your hard drive: TURBOGET.EXE TURBOSET.EXE See the file README.DOS in the DOS subdirectory of this diskette for information on the functionality of these utilities. TurboPort AIO NetWare Loadable Module The TurboPort AIO NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) will allow you to use any of the NetWare Connect server services (e.g., print servers, modem pools, and direct lines). Before the NLM can be installed, it must be copied from the NETWARE.AIO subdirectory of this diskette (a:\netware.aio) to a directory on the hard drive on your server. There are two ways of copying the NLM depending upon whether or not you have a LAN connection to the server. * With LAN Connection 1. Bring up the server. 2. Log on to the server remotely as SUPERVISOR in NetWare 3.12 or with system administrator privileges in NetWare 4.x. 3. Copy the NLM from the NETWARE.AIO subdirectory of this diskette (a:\netware.aio) to the SYS:\SYSTEM directory on the server. A drive letter must be mapped to the SYS:\SYSTEM volume and directory. If a drive letter is not mapped to SYS:\SYSTEM, then you must type map at the command line to see what letters are in use, pick one that isn't used, and then map SYS:\SYSTEM to it. For example, if drive letter p: is available, then you would enter map p:=SYS:\SYSTEM The copy command would then be copy a:\netware.aio\aioturbo.nlm p: * Without LAN Connection 1. Boot up the server machine to DOS. If the server is automatically brought up, type down exit Before the machine gets to DOS, these commands will warn all users that the system is going down. 2. Use the cd command to get to the directory where the Novell server DOS files exist. 3. Copy the NLM from the NETWARE.AIO subdirectory of this diskette (a:\netware.aio) to the directory where the Novell server DOS files exist. The copy command would be copy a:\netware.aio\aioturbo.nlm 4. Bring the server back up. After you have copied the NLM to the hard drive on the server, see the file README.AIO in the NETWARE.AIO subdirectory of this diskette for instructions on installing the NLM. TurboPort Device Driver for OS/2 To make use of any of the enhanced mode high performance capabilities of a TurboPort operating in a 32-bit OS/2 environment, you must first copy the following files from the TURBOPRT subdirectory of this diskette (a:\turboprt) to a directory on your hard drive: TURBOPRT.SYS TMODE.EXE Star Gate Technologies, Inc. TurboPort/RA1 & TurboPort/RA2 32-Bit OS/2 Device Driver Software Instruction Sheet (manual part number: 650170-01) The TurboPort/RA1 & TurboPort/RA2 32-Bit OS/2 Device Driver has the same functionality as the COM.SYS OS/2 device driver with some enhancements added. Follow these instructions to load the TurboPort driver and to configure the TurboPort ports. 1. Copy the files TURBOPRT.SYS and TMODE.EXE to a directory on your hard drive. 2. The following specification must be added to the CONFIG.SYS file for each port of the TurboPort: DEVICE=x:\path\TURBOPRT.SYS /F|/S|/P [/R] (c,aaa,ii) where x:\path is the drive letter and path of the directory on the hard drive where TURBOPRT.SYS is located. The parameters for this command are as follows: /F|/S|/P This parameter is required. Either /F, /S, or /P must be specified, or the device driver will not load. The following conditions must be met for the driver to support each of the baud rate modes: a. Fast Baud Rate Mode The jumper pins must be hard-wired for the Fast Baud Rate mode, and /F must be specified in the DEVICE= line. b. Standard Baud Rate Mode The jumper pins must be hard-wired for the Standard Baud Rate mode, and /S must be specified in the DEVICE= line. In addition, the COM.SYS specification MUST be below the TURBOPRT.SYS DEVICE= line in the CONFIG.SYS file. The COM.SYS device driver will support standard clock rates up to 57600 Baud. c. Software-Select Mode The jumper pins must be hard-wired for the Software-Select mode, and /P must be specified in the DEVICE= line. The port will operate at fast baud rates by default. See step 5 of the TurboPort/RA1 and TurboPort/RA2 Hardware Instruction Sheet for instructions on setting the jumper connections which determine the baud rate mode of operation. /R This parameter is optional. The Remap Baud Rate parameter must be used if you want to operate at fast baud rates but the application you are using will not allow you to set fast baud rates. The parameter allows baud rates to be remapped as defined in the table below: |---------------------| | Remapped Baud Rates | |---------------------| | 110 | 38400 | |---------------------| | 300 | 57600 | |---------------------| | 600 | 115200 | |---------------------| | 1200 | 230400 | |---------------------| | 2400 | 460800 | |---------------------| a. Either the /P or the /F parameter must also be used if you are going to use the /R parameter, and the /P or the /F parameter must be to the left of the /R parameter. The /R parameter will have no effect if the port is configured for Standard Baud Rate Mode because the COM.SYS device driver--instead of TURBOPRT.SYS --will control the port. b. When the /R parameter is specified, the default baud rate at boot time will be 230400, which is 1200 remapped. (c,aaa,ii) These parameters are required. The first parameter (c) is the COM number (1, 2, 3, or 4) that you assign to the port. The second parameter (aaa) is the three-digit (hex) address (3F8, 2F8, 3E8, or 2E8) corresponding to COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4 respectively. The third parameter (ii) is the one- or two-digit interrupt number (2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, or 15). The following is an example of a DEVICE= line: DEVICE=c:\os2\turboprt.sys /p /r (3,3E8,12) 3. The TMODE.EXE utility allows you to configure the TurboPort ports. TMODE.EXE performs the same function as the MODE utility with these differences: a. TMODE allows you to set baud rates up to 460800. b. TMODE displays the correct baud rate when the baud rates have been remapped. Refer to the OS/2 Command Reference Manual for a description of the MODE utility as it pertains to setting asynchronous communications modes.
