1. Introduction The SSP-200/300 is a single channel RS-422/RS-485 asynchronous serial adapter for systems equipped with PCMCIA Type II and/or Type III expansion sockets. The SSP-200/300 is a PCMCIA Type II (5 mm) card and is PCMCIA PC Card Standard Specification 2.

2. DOS/Windows 3.x Two configuration software programs are provided with the SSP-200/300 : a Client Driver, and a card Enabler. Both of these programs are executed from DOS (before entering Windows) and allow operation of the SSP-200/300 in both the DOS and Windows 3.
2 . 1 SSP-200/300 Client Driver for DOS In order to use the SSP-200/300 Client Driver, the system must be configured with Card and Socket Services software. Card and Socket Services software is not provided with the SSP-200/300 but is available from Quatech .
version of Card and Socket Services must be installed on the system or the SSP-200/300 Enabler program must be used to configure the adapter. If the Client Driver reports the desired adapter configuration, the installation process is complete and the SSP-200/300 may be removed and/ or inserted from the system as desired.

2.1.2.3 Example 3 DEVICE = C: SSP-200 SSP231CL.SYS (s0,b300,i5,o2) In example 3, a single command line argument is provided. The Client Driver will attempt to configure a SSP-200/300 inserted into socket 0 with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. If address 300H or IRQ 5 is unavailable, the SSP-200/300 will not be configured.
2.1.2.6 Example 6 DEVICE = C: SSP-200 SSP231CL.SYS (b300,i5) ( ) (i10) In example 6, the three command line arguments of example 5 have been rearranged. The Client Driver will first attempt to configure a SSP-200/300 inserted into any socket with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5.
Available Resources: One function of the Card and Socket Services software is to track which system resources (memory addresses, I/O addresses, IRQs, etc.
The SSP-200/300 Enabler does not support automatic configuration of adapters upon insertion, more commonly referred to as "Hot Swapping". This means the adapter must be installed in one of the system's PCMCIA sockets before executing SSP2 3 1EN.
W address specifies the base address of the memory window required to configure the SSP-200/300 . Set address = D0 for a memory window at segment D000, address = D8 for a memory window at segment D800, etc. Valid settings for address are C8, CC, D0, D4, D8, and DC.
2.2.1.1 Example 1 SSP231EN.EXE In example 1, no command line argument is specified. The Enabler will report an error and display the proper usage of the command.
2.2.1.6 Example 6 SSP231EN.EXE (s0,b300,i5,r) In example 6, the Enabler will release the configuration used by the SSP-200/300 in socket 0 using a configuration memory window at segment D000. The base address and IRQ parameters are ignored and may be omitted.
For systems configured with Card and Socket Services, the SSP-200/300 Client Driver is the recommended method of configuration. 2-13 SSP-200/300 (Rev. I and later) User's Manual.

5 Windows NT 5 . 1 Installing SSP - 200/300 To allow easy configuration of the SSP-200/300 the Quatech Device Manager for Windows NT has been written for the hardware. This configuration util ity supports the SSP-200/300 only in block addressing mode.
1. Locate and double click the Quatech Device Manager icon on the desktop Device Manager Icon on Desktop 5-2 SSP-200/300 (Rev. I and later) User's Manual.
2. Click the ‘Add’ button at the bottom of the Quatech Device Manager Window 3. Follow the steps for the ‘Add Quatech Hardware Wizard’. Windows NT 5-3.
4. Complete the final steps of the installati on, shut down Windows NT and then insert the PCMCIA Card and re-boot the computer. Additional help is available online The S SP- 200 /300 PC Card should now be configured. In the future, Windows NT will automatically recognize and configure the SSP-200/300.
6. Hardware Information 6 . 1 Auxiliary Channel Configuration An auxiliary channel is provided which allows for handshaking between the SSP-200/300 port and a peripheral device. This auxiliary channel may be configured in one of two ways: v RTS-CTS handshake enabled.
6 . 1 . 2 Auxiliary Channel: Handshaking Disabled. The SSP-200/300 ports may be configured so that the RTS-CTS handshake is disabled. This is the default configuration. In this configuration, RTS and CTS from the 16C750 UART will be looped back to each other.
6 . 2 Half Duplex Operation The SSP-200/300 ’s ports may be configured for either full duplex or half duplex operation. By default, the RS-422/485 ports are configured for full duplex operation with the RS-422/485 output drivers always enabled.
Selection of half duplex mode operation is dependent upon the configuration software and/or the operating system used. Each of these, however, ultimately control the half duplex mode by accessing the PCMCIA Configuration Register on the SSP-200/300 .
6 . 3 Termination Resistors No termination resistors are provided on the SSP-200/300 ports. Both output and input signals are connected only to the external connector.
