Instruction Manual

Notes:
• When installing two cards in the same system, the card with the jumper ON will be

assigned the lower COM port number. The card with the jumper OFF will have the

higher COM port number.

DOS

When installing multiple cards in DOS, it is important to install the card designated

card Number 1 (with the jumper ON) first.
1. Change your active directory to the target directory:

ex: c:\RAYON

2. Insert the driver disk into the disk drive and copy the DOS files from the driver diskette:

ex: xcopy /s/e/v a:\DOS\*.*

3. Run the driver installation command:

ex. c:\rayon\pciport

4. The cards will now be installed in your system. Each card will show the card number

in the system (for the application to specify the target card and target port), the card

model, the card jumper setting (for card number 1 or 2), the IRQ assigned, and the

COM port number for the card.

You may see the following error messages:
• PCIPORT already installed. This means the driver has already been installed.
• Please check the “JP1”. Both cards in the system may have their jumpers set to ON or
• OFF.
• PCIPORT not in system. There is no card in the PCI slot.

Notes:
• The driver function call description can be found on the DOS driver diskette. There is

also a DEMO program for the user to modify to meet their target application program.

LINUX

1. Login as super-user (SU) or root.
2. Change your directory to root and copy the driver diskette to the system:

# cd /

# tar xvf /dev/fd0

3. Change the directory to /etc/pciport and run the Install command:

# cd /etc/rayon

# ./Install
