ISI5634PCI/4/8 User Guide
The processor, along with 256K bytes of RAM, works to allocate
resources dynamically to the most active port. The ISI then generates
one interrupt for an entire block of information and transfers the block
to the system’s microprocessor.
The ISI5634PCI has eight Mini RJ-11 jacks. It is a 3/4 size add-on card
that supports a high-speed interface up to 230 Kbps.
How to Use This Manual
This manual contains hardware and operating system driver installation
procedures, technical support and warranty information, and an
appendix for additional information. Hardware configuration and
installation procedures are described in Chapter 2. Installing the
ISI5634PCI card also involves linking a driver to the operating system.
This information is provided in Chapter 3.
It is assumed you have basic PC skills. Therefore, we have not
included step-by-step instructions for basic operations such as
logging in and file editing, etc.
Most of the steps listed in the driver installation section instruct you
to press Enter. This is a reference to the key commonly known as the
Enter, carriage-return, or Return key. Also, please note the difference
between the letter O and the number 0. Both the letter and the number
may be used in this manual.
ISI5634PCI Applications
The ISI5634PCI is an ideal solution for adding ports when a powerful
microcomputer used as a server or host lacks enough connectivity to
accommodate the desired number of users. The ISI5634PCI provides
eight additional serial ports with every card installed, with a potential
of four additional cards installed per system—for a total of thirty-two
serial ports per system.
