Chapter 2: SETUP Inspection Your 3PCISD4x serial card was tested for proper operation before shipment. It should be in perfect mechanical and electrical condition upon receipt. The card is normally pre-configured for RS-232 operation on all ports. The data clock speed for all 4 ports is set by one jumper to x1 (normal) operation or to x4 operation. The operating mode of each port on the card is set using 9 jumpers: 5 jumpers select RS-232 operation or RS-422/485 operation, 2 sele
