Operating System Installation
Please note that you should install the software before the hardware.
Choose Install Software at the beginning of the CD and select the Serial I/O
software drivers and install SeaCOM.
System Installation
The screen captures below are taken from a Windows 98 installation. Your
particular operating system may differ slightly from what is shown based on
your version of windows.
The SeaLINK+485I can be connected to any Upstream Type “A” port either at
the PC host or an Upstream Hub. The SeaLINK+485I is hot-pluggable,
meaning there is no need to power down your computer prior to installation.
The SeaLINK+485I has an onboard 8 position dip switch that is used to
configure the interface. Prior to connecting the SeaLINK+485I, be sure to
configure this dip switch for your specific application. Please see the
Configuration section for more information. The SeaLINK+485I is defaulted to
RS-422 mode so changes are only required if you will be using the product in an
RS-485 application.
1. After installing the software connect SeaLINK+485I to an Upstream Host
or Hub.
This indicates that the system has recognized the new device and will now
proceed to locate a driver.
