Parameter format:

(id,port,flags)

Quatech adapter ID
This field corresponds to the product name, and should contain one of the following:

"DSC-100"

"DSC-200/300"

for Quatech DSC-200/300 two-port PCI adapter

"QSC-100"

for Quatech QSC-100 four-port PCI adapter

"QSC-200/300"

for Quatech QSC-200/300 four-port PCI adapter

"ESC-100D"

for Quatech ESC-100D eight-port PCI adapter

"ESC-100M"

for Quatech ESC-100M eight-port PCI adapter

"SSCLP-100"

for Quatech SSCLP-100 one-port low-profile PCI adapter

"SSCLP-200/300"

for Quatech SSCLP-200/300 one-port low-profile PCI adapter

"DSCLP-100"

for Quatech DSCLP-100 two-port low-profile PCI adapter

"DSCLP-200/300"

for Quatech DSCLP-200/300 two-port low-profile PCI adapter

for Quatech QSCLP-100 four-port low-profile PCI adapter

"QSCLP-200/300"

for Quatech QSCLP-200/300 four-port low-profile PCI adapter

port

Starting port number, 1 or 2 decimal digits
The first port on the adapter. The other ports on the adapter follow in contiguous sequence. For
example, to install a Quatech QSC-100 four-port adapter for COM9 through COM12, use "9" or "09".

flags

Option flags (OPTIONAL --- Use only if needed)
Flags may be placed in any order, separated by commas. Some are mutually exclusive, in which case
the right-most flag will be the one used.
Consecutive spurious interrupt control (mutually exclusive):

"D" = Disable port after 1000 (default), "I" = Ignore, "P" = Post to application

UART selection override control (mutually exclusive):
"F5" = Limit to 16550 mode (16-byte FIFOs)

"F4" = Limit to 16450 mode (no FIFOs)

The driver defaults to 16450 mode and automatically detects a 16550 or 16750 if present. The

override should be used only if the user wishes to limit the FIFO size.

“O” = Make this PCI adapter optional. If the PCI adapter is not installed in the computer at boot

time, the driver will display a warning message and continue to load. This option flag is supported only
for PCI devices.

“OQ” = “Quiet” version of “O” option. The warning message is not displayed on the screen, but

will be written to the log file if the /D option is used (see section 2.5).

Example:

(QSC-100,7)

A Quatech QSC-100 four-port PCI adapter providing COM7 through COM10 is installed.

The base address and IRQ used by the board are automatically assigned by the system and
detected by the device driver.
