Introduction

Quatech RS-232 UPCI boards completely meet the PCI 2.3 specification for Universal connectivity and Low Profile boards, as well as all other aspects of the specification so that you can be certain that every Quatech Universal PCI board will function properly and perform reliably in your system. Serial port connection are made via an onboard DB-9 male port for single port models, and via included cables providing two, four, or eight DB-9 male connectors for multiport boards.

The new Low Profile PCI footprint was designed to provide greater flexibility for embedded systems, thin-clients, and desktop and server environments. The boards are mechanically similar to standard PCI boards, but use a shorter board and a different mounting bracket. They are designed to fit into systems as low as 3.350" without using riser cards. The boards are built on 32-bit addressing, and can be used in standard PCI backplanes or with specialized Low Profile PCI brackets. Quatech's RS-232 boards are built using the smallest (MD1) Low Profile board specification, which allows them to be used in even the smallest size systems without riser cards.

PCI 2.3 requires that all plug-in cards support 3.3V signaling. However, many systems still use 5V signaling. To accommodate both system types, Quatech Low Profile boards also use a Universal PCI connector compatible with both 3.3V and 5V signaling. This means that they can be used with current equipment, and will not need to be replaced as systems are upgraded. It also means that a single serial board solution can be used across a diverse network comprised of many different types of computer.

COM port allocation:

Windows 95/98/Me: For these versions of Windows, Windows will allocate the board a COM port starting at the next free COM port at COM5 or higher - note that this is a 'feature' of Windows 95/98/Me and not a limitation of the Quatech cards. However, it is easy to change the COM port allocation (i.e. to use COM1 -4 or other ones), refer to this document for further details.

Windows 2000/XP: The cards will always takes the next available com port number. Note that if some other installed hardware has been installed and has not removed/uninstalled it but just been unplugged, Windows will reserve that COM port for that device and the Quatech device will take the next free COM port number(s).
