Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista Installation
3-1 Driver Installation
Once Windows 2000 system has been started, the Plug & Play function in
2000/XP/2003/Vista system will find the new PCIPORT card. If this is the
first time to install PCIPORT card in your 2000/XP/2003/Vista system, you
will be informed to install the driver. Please follow the instruction
message to specify the driver location.
A:\WIN2000 (NOTE: don't select wrong path a:\WIN95)
If we got CD for driver installation, we need to specify the path for

each card type and OS type. For example, D:\P588U\WIN2000.
Because the resource will be assigned by PCI BIOS. It is not easy to check
which card is first card or second card from resource. So we have one jumper
in each card to set the first card or second card for this PCIPORT card.
THen we can fix the COM port number for each card. This is very important
for PCIPORT card. Traditionly, we check the resource in each card to confirm
the card number. Use this rule we can assign the COM port number for each
card. But in PCI bus all the resource for each card is assigned by PCI BIOS
in power on procedure. So it is not easy for us to confirm the COM port
number for each card. Then it is not easy to maintain the application
environment for different time point (You may change your system
configuration due to add extra new card. This may change your PCI system's
resource condition). So our jumper to assign card number is very important.
Due to the COM port start number will be assigned by WIN2000/XP/2003/Vista

in driver installation procedure. If you need to specify other COM port start
number for PCIPORT card, you may need to setup it in our driver. When you
installed PCIPORT driver in your WIN2000/XP/2003/Vista system, you can enter
"control panel--> system-->Hardware-->Device Manager-->Multi-port serial
adapter--> setup" to specify your target value.
3-2 Note for multi-PCIPORT card installation.

a) When we need to install two PCIPORT cards in one WIN2000/XP/2003/Vista
system, we must confirm to let one card's jumper is ON. And the other
card's jumper is OFF. We need to insert both card one by one.
b) The card with jumper ON will have COM port number assigned for first
card. The card with jumper OFF will have COM port number assigned
for second card.
c) For easy to maintain one WIN2000 system's COM port number we suggest
that user must set the jumper ON for the first card to be installed in
one WIN2000/XP/2003/Vista system.
d) In WIN2000 system the driver for port is installed automatically. In

WIN XP/2003/Vista system the driver for port is installed and confirmed
for each port.

Chapter 4
Windows 7 system Installation
Once Windows 7 system has been started, the Plug & Play function in
WIN7 system will find the new PCIPORT card. If this is the first time to
install PCIPORT card in your WIN7 system, you will NOT be informed to
install the driver. Because our driver is not embedded in WIN7 system. When
WIN7 find our card in hardware and could not find corresponding driver in
system, WIN7 system do not install and ask us to install driver. WIN7 just
specify our card as "Other devices" in "Control Panel".
Now, we need to enter "Control Panel" "System and Security" "System"

"Device Manager" "Other Devices" to find "!PCI Sinple Communications
Controller". Please select this device and update new version driver.
A) Double strike in this device to enter "properties" screen.
B) Select "Update Driver"
C) Browse my computer for driver software
D) Specify the path for our driver
E) next
F) Install this driver software anyway
Please follow the instruction message to specify the driver location. WIN7
system will use same driver as WIN2000/XP/Vista system.
A:\WIN2000 (NOTE: don't select wrong path a:\WIN95)
If we got CD for driver installation, we need to specify the path for

each card type and OS type. For example, D:\P588U\WIN2000.
After driver installed, we may find extra COM ports generated.
But we may find the COM port number for each serial port do not have
correct relationship with physical location. For example, we may have
8 serial ports in P588U card with physical name port A--H. In WIN2000,
XP,Vista system we may have correct relationship for COM3--COM10 in
port A--H. In WIN7 system we may have random COM port number for port
A--H. It is not easy for user to know which COM port number is which
serial port. Fortunately, we have SETUP in PCIPORT card's driver to
set COM port start number for serial port A--H. In "control panel"
"device manager" you can select PCIPORT card in "multi-port Serial Adapters"
and double strike mouse to enter "Properties" "SETUP" screen. Then you can
modify COM port start number to other value. So we can have serial
port A--H with corresponding COM port sequentially.
You can have extra COM port with correct COM port number in next boot.

Chapter 5
Windows XP embedded Installation
1. Windows XP embedded system is Component based system. So every driver

must be a component to be added in target system.
2. Our driver for WIN2000/XP/2003/Vista will be used in Windows XP embedded

system. So we need to convert our driver to Component firstly.
3. In "Component Designer" we can import "r2kpci1.inf" and "r2kpci2.inf"

from our driver diskette. Then we can convert to "r2kpci1.sld" and
"r2kpci2.sld" component file.
4. In "Component Database Manager" we can add "r2kpci1.sld" and "r2kpci2.sld"

component file to component database.
5. Now we can start "Target Designer" to create new image file for your
target system.
a) In the component list you can find our driver as component in
following location.
b) Hardware--->Devices--->Ports(COM and LPT)--->RAYON PCI584-1 Port
This is serial COM port component to be added.
c) Hardware--->Devices--->Multi-port Serial Adapters
---> RAYON PCIPORT P584 Adapter
This is multi-serial port card to be added.
d) Now you can run "Dependency Check" as your normal procedure. Maybe
you can find something error. But you can fix such error in Microsoft
guideline for you. Please run repeatedly until no error message.
e) Now you can run "build image" as your normal procedure. Because we
do not copy our driver files to target directory. So we may get
error message about some file could not be found in some directory.
Generally it is in the second directory under
\Windows embedded Data\Repositories\ path.
f) Please copy all files in our driver diskette to this directory.
g) Then you can run "build image" again. It must be no error message
about our driver now.
6. Now you can have new image file for your target device in
\Windows embedded image\ directory.
7. When you use this new image in your target system. Then you can have
our PCIPORT available now.

Chapter 6
Windows NT Installation

Once Windows NT system has been started, login using an account with
administrative rights.
a) Start the [Control Panel] applet by double clicking its icon in the
[Program Managers] main group.
b) In the [Control Panel] applet, double click [Network] icon to bring

up the Network Control Panel Applet(NCPA).
c) Within the NCPA, select the [Add Adaptor] button. A list of possible
adaptors should be displayed. Go to the end of this list and select
'<Other> Requires disk from manufacturer'
d) When prompted for the path, specify the drive and directory where the
NCPA can find the new driver for the card you installed.
a:\P584\NT4 ===> specify for P584/P584U/P485/P485U/P514U/P524U/P534U/P114U
a:\P588\NT4 ===> specify for P588/P588U/P588U4/P5588U/P8485U/P5x88U/P118U
a:\P220\NT4 ===> specify for P220/P422I/P422N/P232
a:\P984\NT4 ===> specify for P984/P985/P924
NOTE: It is very important for user to assign correct directory for each
type of cards.
e) Now, you can follow the configuration dialog boxes to finish the
PCIPORT card's driver. The important thing is to let COM port number
no confliction with other card.
f) After above procedure we need to select "Binding" function to let more

serial port available. If you do not have "Binding" function done, you
may not have extra COM port available in next boot procedure.

a) When we need to install two same type PCIPORT cards in one NT system,
we must confirm to let one card's jumper is ON. And the other card's
jumper is OFF.
b) The card with jumper ON will have low COM port number. The card with
jumper OFF will have higher COM port number to follow the card with
jumper ON.
c) For easy to maintain one NT system's COM port number we suggest that
user must set the jumper ON for the first card to be installed in one
NT system.
d) User must confirm that you do not have IRQ number conflicted with other
card. Some new motherboard may have USB controller built-in. But we do
not support USB driver in NT system. So user must disable such USB
controller in BIOS setup.

Chapter 7
Windows 95/98/Me Installation
Once Windows 95/98 system has been started, the Plug & Play function in
95/98/Me system will find the new PCIPORT card. If this is the first time
to install PCIPORT card in your 95/98/Me system, you will be informed to
install the driver. Please follow the instruction message to input the
COM port number start value for first card and second card.
A:\WIN95 (Don't select wrong path in a:\win2000)
NOTE: You must specify correct path for system to find INF file.
If you got CD for driver installation, you need to specify the correct
path for card type and OS type.
Because the resource will be assigned by PCI BIOS. It is not easy to check
which card is first card or second card from resource. So we have one jumper
in each card to set the first card or second card for this PCIPORT card.
Then we can fix the COM port number for each card. This is very important
for PCIPORT card. Traditionally, we check the resource in each card to confirm
the card number. Use this rule we can assign the COM port number for each
card. But in PCI bus all the resource for each card is assigned by PCI BIOS
in power on procedure. So it is not easy for us to confirm the COM port
number for each card. Then it is not easy to maintain the application
environment for different time point (You may change your system
configuration due to add extra new card. This may change your PCI system's
resource condition). So our jumper to assign card number is very important.
After you had installed the PCIPORT driver, you might be informed to have
new hardware found. But you do not need to install the driver again. Windows
95/98/Me will add the COM port automatically.

a) When we need to install two PCIPORT cards in one 95/98/Me system,
we must confirm to let one card's jumper is ON. And the other card's
jumper is OFF.
b) The card with jumper ON will have COM port number assigned for first
card. The card with jumper OFF will have COM port number assigned for
second card.
c) For easy to maintain one 95/98/Me system's COM port number we suggest
that user must set the jumper ON for the first card to be installed in
one WIN95/98/Me system.
d) In WIN98/Me system we need to assign from COM5 or later. Because

COM3/4 had been reserved for legacy COM port. If user specify COM
port number from COM1/COM2/COM3/COM4 may have some unpredictable
problem in some application package.

5. Then you can find the cards installed in your system. Each card will
show the card number in this system (this card number will be used in
application program to specify the target card and target port), the
card model, the card jumper setting for 1'st card or 2'nd card, the
IRQ assigned and COM port number in this card.
for example,
card[1] PCIPORT P588 1'st card

IRQ number : 11
COM port : 8
card[2] PCIPORT P588 2'nd card
IRQ number : 12
COM port : 8
NOTE:
You may have following error message:
a) PCIPORT & INDPORT Already Install.
====> The driver had been installed.
b) Please check 'JP1' in the P588 or P584
====> You may install the same type card have same JP1 setting.
c) PCIPORT not in system.
====> There is no PCIPORT card to be found in PCI slot.

a) We can install upto eight P584,P588,P514,P518,P124 in one DOS system.
But each type of cards must have different jumper setting for card
number. For example you can not have both P584 card with JP1 ON.
b) The PCIPORT driver function call description can be found in DOS
driver diskette. We also have one DEMO program for user to modify
to meet their target application program.
c) Because we need to specify the target PCIPORT card for access in
application program. We must give each card one unique card number.
We will give each card's card number in driver installation console
out message. User need to record such card number for each card.

Linux driver Installation
1. Login with superuser or root.
2. Change your directory to root and copy our driver diskette to system.
#cd /
#tar xvf /dev/fd0 (For CD you need to uncompress first)
3. change directory to /etc/rayon and run Install command.

#cd /etc/rayon
#./Install
4. You will have following procedure to configure your module.

1. choose your card type. (PCIPORT card)
2. choose your linux kernel version.
3. rebuild your system.
4. exit & reboot with new setting.
5. Then, you can have extra serial port to be used.

1. the device name will be /dev/tty8[1--2][a--h]
2. For the card set in first card number (Jumper ON) will be
/dev/tty81[a--h]
3. For the card set in 2'nd card number (Jumper OFF) will be
/dev/tty82[a--h]
NOTE: Above driver installation procedure will install module type driver.
Due to the system configuration is very important from kernel 2.4.x
we can not offer OBJ type driver to install. So we offer the source
file type driver to install. User must have kernel source file in
/usr/src/linux directory to link with our driver's source file. But
some distribution Linux system (ex. REDHAT) may have different
directory name for kernel source. User must rename such directory
to linux or link such directory to "/usr/src/linux". Or they may have
error message in driver installation procedure. (because we can not
find the path for kernel source to link). User also need to use this
kernel source file to generate run time image file in boot.
NOTE: Right now we have ver5.xx driver to support kernel version 2.2.x
and kernel version 2.4.x. We have ver6.xx driver to support kernel
version 2.4.x and kernel version before 2.6.9. We have ver7.x.x
driver to support kernel version 2.4.x and kernel version after
2.6.10. In ver7.x.x driver we have special Install file for REDHAT
Fedora core 4 system, Suse Linux 9.3 and Slackware 10.2 system
(kernel version 2.6.x). For other older Linux system we still use
standard Install file.

When we need to install two PCIPORT cards in one Linux system,
we must confirm that one card's jumper is ON. And the other card's
jumper is OFF.
9-3 Anytime you can send me E_mail in "rayon@ms1.hinet.net" for Linux

driver support.

Chapter 10
SCO OpenServer Installation
User can use /etc/custom command to install our driver or use following
procedure to install our driver.
******We strongly suggest that you use "custom" method to install firstly.
1. Login with superuser or root.
2. Change your directory to root and copy our driver diskette to system.
#cd /
#tar xvf /dev/fd0135ds18 (For CD you need to uncompress first)
3. change directory to /etc/pciport and run "build" command.

#cd /etc/pciport
#./build
4. Please follow the installation procedure and reboot your system.
5. Then, you can have extra serial port to be used.

1. the device name will be /dev/tty8[1--2][a--h]
2. For the card set in first card number (Jumper ON) will be
/dev/tty81[a--h]
3. For the card set in 2'nd card number (Jumper OFF) will be
/dev/tty82[a--h]
NOTE: Due to the PCIPORT card's resource is assigned by PCI BIOS. We may
have different resource to be assigned for different environment
changed. We may need to re-install our driver for this condition.
User may need to run "build" command again to remove old driver and
install new driver again. We strongly recommend that user need to
re-install our driver for PC environment changed condition.
NOTE: Because SCO UNIX is not P&P OS, so user must set in BIOS setup for
non-P&P OS type to be used.
a) We can install upto two PCIPORT cards in one SCO system.
b) When we need to install two PCIPORT cards in one SCO OpenServer

system, we must confirm that one card's jumper is ON. And the other
card's jumper is OFF.
c) In SCO OpenServer system PCIPORT card can not be used in interrupt

shared mode. PCI BIOS will assign IRQ for each PCIPORT card. For
multi-PCIPORT application we must have sperate IRQ for each card.
So user must confirm that one system may have enough IRQ left for
P & P function. If there are no unique IRQ to be assigned to PCIPORT
card, you may have wrong operation. Please use our PCIIOP card in
this condition. Because PCIIOP card don't need IRQ pin.
d) User must insert our PCIPORT card in PCI slot before installed our
SCO OpenServer driver.

RJ422 card support 4 * RS422 interface port.
Note: In RJ422 card we use one jumper for each port to insert terminator
resistor in receiver or not. When one port do not connect with other
device, we must not insert the terminator resistor (the jumper OFF)
for that port. This condition can promise such port with mark
condition in receiver. When you insert the terminator resistor in
no use port, we may have indetermined state in receiver.
Generally we suggest that user may not insert terminator resistor
in each port. Except that you run in high baud rate and long cable
in your application.
Note: In RJ422 card the RS422 signal is balanced type. We use the plus(+)
and minus(-) signal pair in direct connection. But some manufacture
may use inverse definition in such signal pair. So you need to check
the signal definition for each device to prepare your cable.
Note: Because RJ422 card do not have ground isolation function in RS422
interface. User must confirm the ground condition for all the device
connectted are good. Or the ground voltage difference between both
device may be higher than common mode voltage limitaion and damage
the interface IC. If user can not confirm such condition, we suggest
to use P485 card with ground isolation feature.

RS4232 Isolated Box user guide
B-1 Introduction.
RS4232 box is used to convert RS232 input signal to isolated RS232, RS422
or RS485 interface. So we can support signal ground isolation system between
PC system and external application system. We have two models to support
four ports(RS4232-4 model) or eight ports(RS4232-8 model).
In RS4232-4 box each port have two bit DIP switch to set for RS232, RS422
or RS485 interface. In RS4232-8 box each port have one bit DIP switch to
set for RS422 or RS485 interface. In RS485 mode we had auto data direction
function to maintain no local echo condition. But user may still need
to maintain just only one port to output data. So RS485 mode must be used
in half-duplex transmission environment. For full-duplex transmission
environment user may need to use RS422 mode.
In RS4232 box we have one built-in switching power supply. This power
supply can accept 100-265VAC input or 48--60VDC input(option).
In RS4232-8 box we can use one DB62 to DB62 cable to connect with P588
card. In RS4232-4 box we can use one DB37 to DB37 cable to connect with
P584 card. All the cable is connected in pin to pin direct connection type.

Note: In RS4232-8 box we just support RS422/RS485 interface. In RS4232-4
box we can support RS232/RS422/RS485 interface.
Note: Each connector port have isolated ground.
Note: RS485 mode may let pin9 & pin11 short together as DATA+ and pin10
& pin12 short together as DATA- to connect with other device.
Note: In RS422 mode the pin 2/3/4/5/6/8/20 may be in floating condition and
with 5K ohmn pull down resistor to GND.
Note: In RS232 mode the pin 9/10/11/12 may be in floating state.
Don't connect any RS232 signal to these pins.
Note: We have 120 ohmn terminator resistor built in each input signal pair.
In RS485 mode you may need to have this terminator resistor in both
end device. In other location we may need to remove such terminator.
User can set jumper On/Off to use/remove this terminator resistor.
Note: The pin definition for DB62 female connector of RS4232-8 box is same
as table A-1 in Appendix A. But it is DCE type connector.

B-5: RS422 interface application note
RS422 interface is used for point to point connection or multi-drop
application. But user may need to keep in mind that we can only let one
driver output signal to be actived in one time. Or you may let the driver
IC to be burnt.
Even though we had put one 120ohmn terminator resistor in each input signal
pair. User may need to remove this terminator resistor for proper operation.
Due to proper operation user may not let one cable left in un-connected
condition. Because the crosstalk problem may let one transmit data signal
to be coupled to receive data input. This may lead wrong process in some
application environment.
B-6: RS485 interface application note

RS485 interface is used for multi-drop half-duplex application. Because
we had put Auto-Data-Direction-Control capability in RS4232 box, user may
not use RTS signal to control the data direction. So it is no use for RTS
/CTS signal in RS485 interface. Because we had put one 120ohmn terminator
resistor in RXD input signal pair.User may or may not need to remove this
terminator resistor for proper operation.
Due to proper operation user may not let one cable left in un-connected
condition. Because the crosstalk problem may let one transmit data signal
to be coupled to receive data input. This may lead wrong process in some
application environment.
Due to the relationship between DATA+/DATA- and signal in UART may be

different from other manuafacture's definition. In our RS4232 box we have
DATA+ with same phase as signal in UART (somebody may invert it).

Troubleshooting procedure for PCIPORT card
==========================================
1. Please confirm your card type firstly:

a)PCIPORT card:
P588, P584, P422I, P124, P485, P514, P518, P640N, P984, P985, P924.
P584U, P588U, P588U4, P8485U, P485U, P114U, P104UP, P134U, P640NU.
2. Please specify your target O.S. type:

a) DOS. b) Linux. c) SCO Openserver. d) WIN95/98/Me.
e) WIN NT. f) WIN2000. g) WIN XP/2003/Vista. h) XP embedded.
3. Please confirm following boot procedure in which step to be wrong:

a) In power on boot procedure we can not see the PCI BIOS screen to show
our PCIPORT card.
NOTE: After the power of PC is truned on, the PCI BIOS will scan the
card to be inserted in PCI slot. If one PCI card were inserted
in PCI slot, the PCI BIOS will assign the memory map, I/O map
and IRQ number to every cards. Generally PCI BIOS will show the
vendor ID and device ID of each card in screen. You can also see
the bus number, function number and IRQ number for this card.
Our PCIPORT card will have vendor ID "10B5" or "144A". THe device
ID will be "9050". So we must see such information in PCI BIOS
boot procedure display screen. If we can not see such card, it
means that PCI BIOS can not find our card. Then we may change the
PCI slot for our card (we suggest that PCI slot may be damaged)
or clean the golden finger of our PCIPORT card (we suggest that
our PCB is dirty in golden finger and the touch is not good) to
try again.
b) When we can find PCIPORT in PCI BIOS boot procdure, we can install our
driver from diskette. But there are some problem to install the driver.
NOTE: Every O.S. must have corresponding driver to be installed. We have
many OS's driver in different directory. If user did not specify
the correct path for corresponding driver in driver installation
procedure, you may have problem to install our driver.
Generally this condition is happened in WIN2000 or WIN95/98 system.
Because WIN2000 system may choose the path for our WIN95 driver's
directory and user do not change to WIN2000 directory. Then user
may install driver and with error message finally. In this
condition user must remove the INF file and force WIN2000 system
to enter P&P procedure to install new driver (or WIN2000 system
may record your old bad driver always).
c) When we install driver successfully. But we can not find the extra
target COM port in next boot procedure.
NOTE: In power on boot procedure our driver will start to work.
Generally our driver will check the contents of driver and the
hardware information in PCI card. If the driver assigned for one
card were not the card installed, our driver will say "card not
found". And there are no extra COM port available.
Generally you can check same hardware configuration in different
OS type. If there were no problem in new OS system, then you may
have some driver installation problem. You may need to check with
us to solve your problem (E_Mail to rayon@ms1.hinet.net). If
there were problem in other OS system, you may have hardware
－21－
problem in such card. Please check with supplier.
d) When we have extra target COM port in next boot procedure. But there
are no data transmission or receiving in such COM port.
NOTE: Generally one need to send/receive data from COM port may have
two steps. The first step is to open such COM port. The second
step is to send/receive data in IRQ mode or polling mode.
In our driver diskette we prepare "RAYONTTY.EXE" utility file.
This file is terminal emulation program. You can run this file
to use one COM port for data communication.
When you run "rayontty.exe" you can assign the target COM port
and set the target parameter. Then you can ask to "connect". If
you set the COM port that you can see in "control panel" and
"rayontty.exe" say "OPEN FAIL", then you may not have such COM
port (even though we can see in "control panel"). This condition
is due to some problem in driver installation. Please contact
with us to fix your problem.
If we could open such COM port without any error message, then
we need to check hardware operation. If we had one loopback
connector to insert in such COM port. In normal condition we can
strike any key in keyboard and see the console out in screen.
If we strike any key in keyboard and there are no console out
in screen (the system is hung), then you may have IRQ assigned
with confliction to other device. Please change PCIPORT card to
other PCI slot and you may be assigned other IRQ without
confliction. Or you may enter BIOS setup to let some IRQ value
to be used by ISA card in "legacy" mode.
Even though our PCIPORT card is IRQ shareable. But ISA card is
not IRQ shareable. When one IRQ is set to be "P&P mode" in BIOS
setup. And one ISA card need such IRQ (by jumper or manual set).
Then PCI BIOS may assign such IRQ to PCIPORT card. So we may
have big problem in PCIPORT card's IRQ service routine.
e) We can install Linux driver without any error message. But there are
correct action or system hung in next boot procedure.
NOTE: We offer source file type driver to install in Linux system.

So our driver will be compiled and linked with kernel source
file in current system configuration. But user may use the
booting image file for different system configuration. User
must use current kernel source file and configuration to
generate one image file to boot.
4. The other condition to specify and troubleshoot:

a) Generally we test our PCIPORT card in DOS system.
b) In some condition the action in DOS environment may be different from
other OS environment. So there are no problem in DOS test environment
may not say no problem in other OS environment.
c) So anybody need to troubleshoot PCIPORT card must specify the OS type.
And they may need more detail information about the problem in
PCIPORT card operation.
d) Then we may test in DOS environment firstly and test in other OS
environment as customer specified later.
e) So user must specify the problem in which environment to test.
f) Please send E_mail to rayon@ms1.hinet.net before returned your cards.

如何在 DOS 系統安裝 PCIPORT 卡驅動程式
1. 此目錄所有檔案拷貝到你的 DOS 系統。
例如：XCOPY /S/E/C A:\DOS\*.* C:\RAYON
2. 此時我們可以執行〝PCIPORT〞命令或者〝P984〞命令即可完成 DOS 驅動程式

安裝。
例如：C:\RAYON\PCIPORT。
或：C:\RAYON\P220\P984。
※注意：P584、P588、P485、P584U、P588U、P485U、P8485U、P118U、P524U
卡是採用〝PCIPORT〞安裝。
P232、P422I、P422N、P984、P985、P924 卡是採用〝P984〞安裝。
3. 此時您可以發現畫面出現每一片找到的卡資料，要注意卡號在我們寫應用程式時很
重要。我們會根據一定的順序來找到卡號 1，然後再找卡號 2。例如：
card[1]PCIPORT P588 1’st card
IRQ number：11
COM port：8
card[2]PCIPORT P588 2’nd card
IRQ number：12
COM port：8
※注意：在此所說的卡號是上面所說的 Card[ ]裡面的號碼，這個號碼與我們用跳
線來指示 PCIPORT 卡是第幾片卡無關。
4. 如果您在安裝時，出現某些異常現象，則可能出現下列訊息。
a) PCIPORT & INDPORT Already Install.
表示您已經安裝過驅動程式，不用再安裝。
b) Please check〝JP1〞in the P588 or P584.
表示您有兩片卡的 JP1 都設成一樣，同時 ON 或同時 OFF，請將其中一片設
成另一種狀態。
c) PCIPORT not in system.
表示根本找不到任何 PCIPORT 卡在本系統上。
5. 如果您想要移除本驅動程式，則只要執行〝freepci〞命令即可。
6. 應用程式撰寫注意事項：
a) 我們所有 DOS 驅動程式的功能呼叫函數之定義都在磁片的 READ.ME 檔案
上。使用者可以參考該檔案了解各個功能來撰寫應用程式。同時我們也附有
DEMO 程式及其原程式供參考。使用者可以修改本程式來符合自己之所需。
b) 請注意所有功能呼叫都要指定每一片卡的卡號，所以使用者在安裝驅動程式時
要記錄每一片卡的卡號顯示（亦即 Card[ ]）然後根據此值來指示自己期望的

如何在 Windows 95/98/Me 系統安裝 PCIPORT 卡驅動程式
一、程式的安裝
■ 進入 Windows 95/98/Me 作業系統後，會自動 Plug & Play：
1. 找到〝PCI Communication Device〞，請按[下一步]。
2. 選擇 ž搜尋裝置的最適用的驅動程式，請按[下一步]。
3. 將磁碟片放入 A:，在指定的位置打勾R，輸入驅動程式路徑 A:\WIN95，請按
[下一步]。
4. 系統會找到 RAYON PCIPORT P584 (依據您是哪種多用戶卡而顯示)，請按
[下一步]。
5. 到此步驟，Windows 已經安裝好新硬體裝置所需要的軟體，請按[下一步]。
6. 此時已經安裝完成，可以到〝控制台〞→〝系統〞→〝裝置管理員〞下，查
看目前卡及 COM 端口所使用的資源 (預設 COM 端口啟始值為 COM5)。
二、使用上注意事項
1. 我們可以在 Win95/98/Me 系統上安裝兩片 PCIPORT 卡，但一定要確保第
一片卡的 JP1 跳線接通(ON)，第二片卡的 JP1 跳線為斷開(OFF)。如果兩
片 PCIPORT 卡的跳線同時為接通或斷開狀態，則可能造成不當的動作出
現，一定要避免。
2. 若是 COM 端口啟始值為 COM5，則 COM5 為 Port A… 第 2 個端口為 Port
B… 以此類推至最後一個 Port。若是需要更改 COM 端口啟始值，請到〝控
制台〞→〝系統〞→〝裝置管理員〞→〝MultiFunction〞→〝RAYON PCIPORT
P584〞→〝Setup〞中設定。
3. 使用者在給定 COM 端口啟始值時，一定要確保其 COM 端口號的範圍不要
與其他卡相衝突，否則可能出現不可預期的問題。
4. PCIPORT 可以工作在 IRQ 共享模式，所以多片 PCIPORT 卡可以共用同
一個 IRQ。但是 PC 上至少要留一個 IRQ 可供 P&P 功能指定之用。如果
一個 PC 系統都沒有留下至少一個 IRQ 供 PCIPORT 卡使用，則
PCIPORT 卡無法正常工作，而當 IRQ 衝突時，可換 PCI 插槽試試看。可是
我們仍然要注意 PCIPORT 卡所被指定的 IRQ 如果與其他卡相同，則我們必
須確認該卡也要支援 IRQ 共享模式才可以。
5. 在 WIN95/98/Me 系統，多用戶卡之 COM 端口啟始值會由 COM5 開始安
裝，因為 COM3/COM4 已經保留給傳統 COM 端口。

如何在 WINDOWS NT 系統安裝 PCIPORT 卡驅動程式
一﹑驅動程式的安裝
■開機進入 Windows NT 系統後，請依下列步驟進行安裝工作：
1. 進入→控制台→網路→介面卡→按〝新增〞
2. 點選〝從磁片安裝〞
3. 放入磁碟片到 A:，輸入驅動程式路徑(參考以下列表)，按〝OK〞
目錄 a:\P584\NT4 ===> 支援P584/P584U/P485/P485U/P514U
/P524U/P534U卡
目錄 a:\P588\NT4 ===> 支援 P588/P588U/P118U/P8485U卡
目錄 a:\P220\NT4 ===> 支援 P220/P422I/P422N/P232卡
目錄 a:\P984\NT4 ===> 支援 P984/P985/P924 卡
4. 選取 OEM 選項：反白字 RAYON XXXXX 為要安裝的卡 →確定

5. 設定 COM 端口號啟始值(預設值為 5)，按〝Apply〞
6. 系統提示〝Reboot you system to ensure the com is ready〞按〝確定〞→關
閉→重新開機,是(Y)。
二﹑使用上注意事項
1. 我們可以在 Windows NT 系統上安裝兩片 PCIPORT 卡，但一定要確保第一
片卡的 JP1 跳線接通(ON)，第二片卡的 JP1 跳線為斷開(OFF)。如果兩片
PCIPORT 卡的跳線同時為接通或斷開狀態，則可能造成不當的動作出現，一
定要避免。
2. 在 PCIPORT 卡上的跳線接通者(ON)為第一片卡，其擁有的 COM 端口號值
較小；而跳線斷開(OFF)為第二片卡，其 COM 端口號接續第一片卡，值較
大而跟隨其後。
3. 如果使用者想要指定自己期望的 COM 端口啟始值，則必須要到→〝控制台〞
→〝網路〞→〝介面卡〞→〝內容〞→去做設定的工作。
4. 所有的安裝過程一定要確保每片卡的 COM 端口號不能有互相衝突出現，否
則擁有相同 COM 端口號的不同卡可能出現不可預期的錯誤動作。
5. 由於 Windows NT 系統會記下每一個 PCI 插槽的硬體資源使用情況，為避
免發生問題，任何時刻不再安裝附加卡時，也必須將該卡的軟體刪除，以避
免不必要的困擾。
6. 當驅動程式安裝成功後，在→〝控制台〞→〝連接埠〞→中會顯示新增成功
的 COM 端口。若是找不到期望的 COM 端口，則表示 Port 的驅動程式並未
安裝，亦即 PCIPORT 卡的驅動程式並未正確安裝。此時請重新依照安裝步驟
重新安裝驅動程式，並記錄每個過程的訊息以幫助找出可能問題原因及解決
對策。請利用 rayon@ms1.hinet.net 與本司聯絡。本公司將提供解決方案資
料供用戶參考。

如何在 Windows 7 系統安裝 PCIPORT 卡驅動程式
■第一次把 PCIPORT 卡插到 WIN7 系統後開機，進入作業 WIN7 系統後，系統
會自動執行 PnP 找到 PCI 簡單通訊控制卡。可是因為我們的 PCIPORT 卡並
非 WIN7 內建的產品，所以 WIN7 不會自動安裝驅動程式也不會問(在 Vista 以
前的 Windows 會問)，於是就好像沒看到我們的卡一樣。
■現在我們要自己手動來安裝驅動程式
1.首先我們要到〝控制台〞〝系統及安全性〞〝系統〞〝裝置管理員〞看到
〝其他裝置〞底下有〝!PCI 簡單通訊控制器〞。
2.這就是我們的 PCIPORT 卡，WIN7 系統找不到驅動程式安裝卻不問我們而
給放在此地。
3.我們用滑鼠移到此裝置雙擊左鍵進入〝內容〞畫面,選〝更新驅動程式〞。
4.瀏覽電腦上的驅動程式軟體。
5.現在我們可以用瀏覽來指出我們的驅動程式路徑。
6.例如： D:\NCD001\P588U\WIN200_XP_2003_Vista
7.完成上述卡的驅動程式安裝，隨後也會自動完成串口的驅動程式安裝。
1.我們可以在 WIN7 系統上安裝兩片 PCIPORT 卡，但一定要確保第一片卡的
JP1 跳線接通(ON)，第二片卡的 JP1 跳線為斷開(OFF)。如果兩片
PCIPORT 卡的跳線同時為接通或斷開狀態，則可能造成不當的動作出現，
一定要避免。
2.當我們安裝完成卡與串口的驅動程式，我們可以在〝裝置管理員〞的〝連接
埠〞看到各個 RAYON PCI Port 串口裝置，但是卻無法知道那一個串口是那
一個 COM 端口號。在 Vista 以前的系統我們可以有串口與 COM 端口號有順
序性關係，幸運的是我們可以重新給予 PCIPORT 卡的起始 COM 端口號之
指定來解決。
3.如果使用者想要指定自己期望的 COM 端口啟始值，則必須要到〝裝置管理
員〞→〝多重連接埠序列介面卡〞→找到我們的卡(例如 RAYON PCIPORT
P588 Adapter)點選〝內容〞後再選 SETUP 進行設定工作。完成此動作則各
個串口的 COM 端口號會依據此值照順序給.則下一次開機您就可以自己指定
的 COM 端口號在各個串口
4.使用者如果在安裝完 PCIPORT 卡的驅動程式後，卻在〈Control Panel〉找
不到期望的 COM 端口，則表示 Port 的驅動程式並未安裝，亦即 PCIPORT
卡的驅動程式並未正確安裝。請先刪除 PCIPORT 卡，再利用搜尋新的硬體
來重新安裝，並記錄每個過程的訊息以幫助找出可能問題原因及解決對策。

如何在 Windows XP embedded 系統安裝驅動程式
1. 由於 Windows XP embedded 系統是以 Component 為導向的作業系統，所以我

們的 Driver 要被先裝入 Component 系統中才可以在日後被使用。所以驅動程式
的安裝，最重要的工作，是把我們的驅動程式變成一個 Component 而且被加入
Windows XP embedded 系統中。
2. 首先我們提供的 Windows 驅動程式可供 WIN2000、WIN XP、WIN2003、Vista

使用的版本，就是被用來安裝在 Windows XP embedded 系統的版本。
3. 當我們執行 Component Designer，則可以把我們的驅動程式盤片上面的

r2kpci1.inf 及 r2kpci2.inf 檔給 import 來產生 r2kpci1.sld 及 r2kpci2.sld 檔來安裝。
4. 於是在 Component Database Manager 底下，我們可以利用 Add Component 方

式，把上述動作產生的 r2kpci1.sld 及 r2kpci2.sld 這兩個 Component 給添加上去。
於是可以在未來期望系統中安裝。
5. 現在我們開始進行 Target Designer 的工作。
6. 於是我們在左手邊的 Component List 找到期望的 Component 來添加。
7. 我們的 PCIPORT 驅動程式現在變成 Component 在下列位置，請您點選添加到目

標系統中。
8. Hardware→Devices→Ports（COM and LPT）→RAYON PCI584-1 Port
9. 這些串口的添加，請依據期望卡的類型添加相應物件。
10. Hardware→Devices→Multi-port Serial adapters→RAYON PCIPORT P584

Adapter
11. 這些多埠卡的添加，請依據期望卡的類型添加相應物件。
12. 現在開始進行 Dependency Check 動作，此時如果有出現一些 error，則其會列表

這些內容，我們可以雙擊這些內容，則會有些簡單導引請您添加或選擇某些物件
來移除 error。請持續本動作直到 Dependency Check 不再出現 error。
13. 於是我們可以開始 build image 動作，由於我們有一些 file 要被驅動程式所使用，

可是我們目前尚未把這些檔案複製到期望位置，因此 build image 會顯示 error，
告訴我們某些檔案在某一位置找不到。通常這個位置是在 \ Windows embedded
Data \ Repositories \ 目錄底下的第二個目錄（請由 error message 找到位置）現
在我們要把我們驅動程式盤片上面所有的 file 全部複製到此目錄底下即可。
14. 完成上述動作，重新 build image 則可以排除全部 error message，則您就有一個

image 檔在 \ Windows embedded image \ 目錄底下，您可以用此 image 檔供您
的目標系統使用，而且我們的 PCIPORT 卡也可以在您的目標系統使用。

如何在 Linux 系統安裝 PCIPORT 卡驅動程式
1. 我們的 PCIPORT 卡目前在 P220、P232、P422I、P584、P485、P588、P124、

P514、P518、P984、P985、P924、P422N、P584U、P588U、P485U、P8485U、
P524U、P118U 卡等都可以使用在 Linux 系統。
2. 基本上每個系統都可以插兩片 PCIPORT 卡。
a) 對於 1’st card（跳線短接）而言，我們可以得到下列裝置名稱
/dev/tty81[a～h] 來對應到 Port a～Port h
b) 對於 2’nd card（跳線斷開）而言，我們可以得到下列裝置名稱
/dev/tty82[a～h] 來對應 Port a～Port h
3. 由於 Kernel 2.4.X 版本以後，每個系統的設定都非常重要，往往不同系統設定所

產生的 OBJ 檔，到另一個系統就不能用。所以我們不再提供 OBJ 類型驅動程式，
而是提供 Source 源程式檔案驅動程式供客戶安裝。基本上在 OBJ 類型驅動程式
時代，不必 Kernel 源程式就可以安裝的好處，在我們現在提供源程式類型的驅動
程式情況下就無法安裝了。但是源程式類型的驅動程式有一個好處就是 Kernel 版
本的小變動，基本上在 PCIPORT 驅動程式的安裝都不會造成問題。以往 OBJ 必
須針對每個 Kernel 版本的小變動都要重新提供 OBJ 的困擾不存在了。
4. 使用者要先到根目錄下，把驅動程式盤片內容拷貝到 Linux 系統上。

＃cd /
＃tar xvf / dev / fd0
5. 然後再到 /etc/rayon 目錄執行 Install 命令開始安裝。

＃cd / etc / rayon
＃﹒/ Install
6. 在給定卡的類型（PCIPORT）及 Kernel 版本類型等選項後就開始進行驅動程式

的編譯及安裝工作。然後重開機就可以有額外的串口可以使用了。
※注意：由於我們提供是源程式驅動程式，所以一定要與 Kernel 源程式一起編譯
才可以。基本上我們假設 Linux Kernel 的源程式是放在 /usr/src/linux 目
錄底下。但某些廠商的系統（例如 REAHAT）卻不在此名稱目錄底下。
於是使用者必須把源程式目錄名稱改成 /usr/src/linux 或者利用 Link 命
令把原有源程式目錄鏈結到/usr/src/linux 才可以。
7. 基本上 Linux Kernel 版本一直在更新之中，如果使用者在 Linux 系統的驅動程式

安裝上碰到問題，請隨時以 rayon@ms1.hinet.net 與我們聯絡。

PCIPORT 卡 SCO open server 使用注意事項
1. 我們的 PCIPORT 卡目前有 P584、P485、P588、P124、P514、P518、P584U、

P588U、P485U、P8485U、P524U、P118U 卡都可以使用在 SCO open server
系統。
2. 基本上每個系統可以插兩片 PCIPORT 卡。
3. 對於 1’st card（jumper ON）而言，我們可以得到下列裝置名稱。

/dev/tty81[a～h]
4. 對於 2’nd card（jumper OFF）而言，我們可以得到下列裝置名稱。

/dev/tty82[a～h]
5. 使用者可以使用 /etc/custom 命令來安裝驅動程式。
6. 使用者也可以使用〝 tar 〞命令來拷貝磁片後再利用 build 方式來安裝驅動程式。

a) 先以 Super User 進入後，到根目錄.
b) 利用〝 tar 〞把磁片拷貝到系統.
tar xvf /dev/fd0135ds18
c) 到 /etc/PCIPORT 的目錄下執行 build 動作.
＃ cd /etc/PCIPORT
＃ ./build
7. 由於 PCIPORT 卡的系統資源是在開機時由系統指定，所以當安裝環境改變時，
我們所擁有的 PCIPORT 卡的系統資源可能會改變。由於我們的驅動程式必須與
系統核心緊密配合，所以在系統資源改變時必須通知系統，於是必須重新進行鏈
結動作。
8. 所以在安裝 PCIPORT 卡的驅動程式前，我們建議使用者把所有需要安裝的硬體

都插上後，再進行驅動程式的安裝。因為 PCIPORT 卡在每次系統環境改變時都
必須重新安裝驅動程式(先移除舊有驅動程式再安裝新的)。所以 PCIPORT 卡的驅
動程式最好是你的系統最後一個被安裝的驅動程式。
9. 任何時刻如果因為不明原因而讓你的 PCIPORT 卡無法正常工作時，請先移除

PCIPORT 卡的驅動程式即可。
10. 由於系統的限制，我們最多只可以在系統上安裝兩片 PCIPORT 卡，雖然 P124、

P514、P518 等卡可以設定在兩片以上，但仍請設定其 card number 在 1’st card
及 2’nd card 以避免困擾。
11. 由於每片卡要利用到一個 IRQ，且不可以與其他卡共用，所以在安裝 PCIPORT

卡請確定你的主機板有足夠的 IRQ 可供使用，否則將可能無法正常安裝驅動程式
及正常工作。
12. 一定要確認在安裝 PCIPORT 驅動程式時，硬體卡有插才可以，否則安裝不會成

功。

瑞旺 PCI 卡問題反映流程與解決
一﹑PCIPORT 卡的型號確認
P584、P588、P422I、P124、P485、P514、P518、P640N、P984、P584U、
P588U、P485U、P8485U、P118U、P524U、P640NU、P232、P422N。
二﹑所使用的作業系統種類
1. DOS
2. Linux
3. SCO UNIX
4. Win95/98/ME
5. WinNT
6. Win2000
7. Win XP
8. 其他
三﹑請確認下列開機過程,在何步驟出現錯誤現象
1.在開機過程無法在 BIOS 畫面顯示我們的卡。
說明：電腦電源打開後，接下來開機過程中 BIOS 會搜尋 PCI 插槽上所有存
在的卡，並且根據其硬體資源需求而指定 Memory 及 I/O 地址空間及
IRQ 值給每片 PCI 卡。我們的卡擁有 Vender ID 為 10B5 或 144A，同
時 Device ID 為 9050，基本上只要有插我們的卡在 PCI 插槽上，就
一定可以看到上述訊息，如果看不到上述訊息，就表示主機沒有找到
我們的卡，則需要更換插槽(我們假設該插槽已損壞)或是清潔 PCI 卡
的金手指部分(我們假設金手指髒，造成接觸不良)再測試。
2.當 BIOS 有找到我們的卡,於是就可以進行 Driver 的安裝工作，可是卻無法完
成 Driver 的安裝工作。
說明：由於各種 OS 有不同版本的 Driver 來被安裝，如果使用者未在正確位置

進行安裝，或者指定 Driver 磁片的路徑不正確，都可能造成 Driver 安裝
失敗。
請依據手冊的指示，逐一步驟來進行安裝，如仍有問題請專業工程師
幫忙解決。
－61－
3.當 Driver 正常安裝後，重新開機後卻無法找到期望的 COM 端口。
說明：當重新開機的過程，我們的 Driver 會開始工作，基本上我們會核對每一

片卡的內容與所安裝的 Driver 是否配合，如果我們指定的卡的 Driver 與
真正所安裝的卡不同，則我們在核對的過程會認為找不到卡，當然不會
有期望的 COM 端口出現。
一般而言，如果用其他的 OS 環境測試該卡是正確的，可是在這一個環
境就是有問題，則可能不是硬體上的問題，而是軟體安裝問題，這就要
找專業工程師來諮詢。如果在其他的 OS 環境測試該卡也有問題，則可
能是硬體上的問題，請連絡專業工程師確認後寄回維修。
4.當重新開機後，有找到期望的 COM 端口，但是該端口卻不能正常送收資料。
說明：一般而言，我們對於端口進行送收資料的動作，分成兩個步驟，第一個
步驟是打開(Open)該端口，第二個步驟是真正利用 IRQ 或 POLING 方
式來傳送或接收資料。
在我們的 Driver 磁片上都有〝RAYONTTY.EXE〞程式，請執行之，這

是一個終端機模擬程式，我們可以利用<Setup>來指定要工作的 COM 端
口及相關參數。當我們要進行 Connect 時，如果出現 Open fail，就表示
系統根本沒有這個 COM 端口(雖然我們可能在控制台有看到)，這有可
能在 Driver 安裝過程中有出現問題，請咨詢專業工程師有關後續處理動
作。
當我們已成功進行 Connect 時，如果我們利用一個 Loop back 接頭(一般
是第 2 與 3 腳短接即可)，來安裝在 COM 端口上，則此時您任何敲的鍵
都會在畫面顯示。如果不會顯示，而且可能畫面被咬住，則可能是卡的
IRQ 與別人衝突，請重新更換卡的 PCI 插槽以嘗試獲得不同的 IPQ 指定
值，或者我們要到 BIOS SETUP 進行設定，把 ISA 使用的 IRQ 給設成
Legacy mode，而不可以是 P&P mode。
這是因為 ISA 卡的 IRQ 是不能與別人分享的，如果設成 P&P mode，則
可能其他的 PCI 卡又被設定該 IRQ 值，於是產生問題。
－62－
四﹑其他問題的描述與維修程序:
1. 基本上我們所有的卡的維修測試都是在 DOS 環境下進行。
2. 有些情況下 DOS 環境與其他 OS 環境的工作流程與特性並不相同，所以 DOS
環境測試無誤，並不代表在其他環境無問題。
3. 所以使用者在將卡送修過程中，一定要詳細描述出問題的作業環境 OS，以
及自己認為出問題的現象為何。
4. 因此我們在維修過程，經 DOS 環境測試正常後，會在依據客戶所描述的環

境來進行核對，如此才可以保證用戶所反應的問題已經確實解決。如果無法
提供詳細資料，則我們只有能保證 DOS 環境使用正常，並不能保證用戶搭
配自己環境後的問題已經解決。
五、維修與收費條款：
1. 本公司所有產品於出貨日起一年內為保固期。
2. 在保固期間內，因為下列因素所導致的損壞並不在保固範圍內。包括意外，
濫用，誤用，電力問題，非授權之修護，未依產品說明之使用等。
3. 客戶在發生問題時，需先與本公司工程師聯絡，詢求支援。在確定必須送回
原廠維修情況下，取得 RMA 碼由客戶送回本公司維修。
4. 客戶在送回維修品時，需詳述使用環境及出現之問題，如果我公司在進行維
修時並未發現問題，而且客戶又未附上問題描述，則我公司將向客戶收取費
用。
5. 在保固期間內，產品送至本公司的運送費用由客戶負擔，產品維修完畢送回
客戶的運送費用由本公司負擔。不在保固範圍內的產品維修，運送費用全部
