How to install Classic non-intelligent board under SCO Xenix/Unix * Driver is built into SCO. * Only boards supported are the Classic 4, or the Classic 8 - Classic 16 is not supported. * No other COM port or peripheral can share an IRQ with the Classic * PS/2 Models 25 & 30 can only be setup as COM2. Hardware Installation Guide for the Classic DigiBoard. 1. Put the card into an empty ISA slot (Notice there aren't any dip switches) 2. Boot to the Classic Config disk (shipped along with the board). 3. Run the cfg.exe program to configure the board. 4. Once the cfg.exe program is loaded, you will notice that it will have found the board, and will display its current settings. 5. We want to "Edit new profile", so press "F3" 6. First prompt will be "PnP mode?" You want to select "No" 7. Second prompt will be "Int mode:" You will want to select "Digi" 8. At this point, you will want to decide if you want to run the card as "COM1" and "COM2", and then follow the instructions below: FOR COM1 SETUP 8a. For "I/O Address:" select "0150" 8b. For "IRQ:" select "4" 8c. For "No. Waits:" leave it at default. 8d. For "CFG Utility I/O:" leave it at default. 8e. Finally, You will want to set up each port's io address. Port 1: 0110 Port 2: 0118 Port 3: 0120 Port 4: 0128 Port 5: 0130 Port 6: 0138 Port 7: 0140 Port 8: 0148 8f. Leave the Port's IRQ blank. FOR COM2 SETUP 8a. For "I/O Address:" select "0250" 8b. For "IRQ:" select "3" 8c. For "No. Waits:" leave it at default. 8d. For "CFG Utility I/O:" leave it at default. 8e. Finally, You will want to set up each port's io address. Port 1: 0210 Port 2: 0218 Port 3: 0220 Port 4: 0228 Port 5: 0230 Port 6: 0238 Port 7: 0240 Port 8: 0248 8f. Leave each Port's IRQ option blank. 9. Press "F3" to finish editing. 10. Press "F6" to save profile to disk. 11. pick the first option "" 12. A prompt will ask you what you will like to name this profile, pick anything you like, for instance "cls_sco". 13. A prompt will ask you to enter profile description, pick anything you like, for example "Classic COM2 setup for SCO Unix" 14. Finally, press "F5" to write profile to your board. 15. Pay special attention to the I/O test that it does, if you have any ports return an "F" instead of all "P", this suggests that you have an i/o address or IRQ conflict with the current settings you have picked from above. To resolve the conflict, you might try using COM2 instead of COM1, or vice versa. If neither of the COM1/COM2 options pass, you will need to look at your other devices in the system, and change them accordingly. 16. Follow the SCO instructions below for getting your extra ports up and running under SCO. SCO Driver Installation for the Classic DigiBoard 1. Log on to the console, and type at the prompt mkdev serial (press return) 2. The first screen you will see is: The following cards are currently configured: (any previous installed serial board will be listed) i) install a new serial board. r) remove an existing board. q) quit Please enter your choice (i/r/q) > (usually you are picking i) 3. Serial Board Installation You would like to install a: 1. 1 port 2. 2 port 3. 4 port - if using Classic 4 4. 5 port 5. 8 port - if using Classic 8 6. 16 port - NOT SUPPORTED Select an option or enter 'q' to quit: select 3 or 5 The card is configured as: 1. COM1 2. COM2 3. COM3 (not supported) 4. COM4 (not supported) Select an option or enter 'q' to quit: select 1 or 2 4. Which card do you have (the following are supported) ? (Pick your DigiBoard type from list shown on screen) 5. Please enter the baud rate to be used on the modem devices: (pick highest baud supported by modem, example 9600) 6. The following /etc/gettydefs entries support 9600 baud lines 1. 9600 2. console 3. 9600H 4. o 5. 6 6. m 7. sc_m Then you should see the following messages: System files successfully updated. The following standard serial devices have been installed. (you will see a list of device names that will be created) You must create a new kernel to effect the driver change you specified. Do you wish to create a new kernel now? (y/n) (answer yes to this question, then reboot system) 7. The systems will create devices in the /dev directory for the DigiBoard Classic, they will be created after system reboot. Board setup Standard devices Modem control devices COM 1 /dev/tty1a-tty1h /dev/tty1A-tty1H COM 2 /dev/tty2a-tty2h /dev/tty2A-tty2H Standard devices are usually terminals and printers. These ports must have a null modem cable or null modem adapter between the DigiBoard and the peripheral to work. The basic cabling for x/on x/off flow control is TxD and RxD crossed and signal ground straight through. Check your DigiBoard hardware manual for proper cabling, if unsure. Modem control devices are usually modems. These ports must have carrier detect high before the port will open. The cabling usually has signal going straight from DigiBoard to modem. Check your DigiBoard manual for proper cabling, if you have any questions. 8. How to enable standard port to get a login. enable /dev/portname example: enable /dev/tty1a Make sure your terminal matches the setup in your inittab file for SCO Unix or ttys for SCO Xenix. The default is 9600 baud 8 bits no-parity 1 stop bit.
