PC Serial Ports A A-1 Overview This appendix provides detailed information about PC serial ports, including background information about what they are and how they work. It also explains how Microsoft Windows 3.1 manages serial ports, how to resolve problems using COM3 or COM4 under Windows, and how to choose serial port hardware that is well-suite[...]

PC Serial Ports A-2 Background Serial ports (also sometimes referred to as communications ports or COM ports) are hardware interfaces that permit your PC's microprocessor to communicate with peripheral devices using a communications standard called RS-232 (hence, serial ports are also sometimes referred to as RS-232 ports). Many common compute[...]

PC Serial Ports A-3 The microprocessor/serial port communication consists of two aspects: an I/O port address and an interrupt request signal (IRQ). The I/O port address represents a small region of the microprocessor's input/output memory space that is used to pass data back and forth to the serial port. This memory region acts something like[...]

PC Serial Ports A-4 In the PC architecture, IRQs acts like the doorbell in our analogy: They provide a method by which hardware devices in the computer can get the microprocessor's attention to deal efficiently with some process. The serial port hardware makes use of an IRQ to announce that it is ready to receive more outgoing data and/or that[...]

PC Serial Ports A-5 The table below lists the default I/O port addresses and IRQs used by the serial ports of IBM-PC/AT-compatible computers: Serial Port Device Name I/O Port Address IRQ COM1 03F8 4 COM2 02F8 3 COM3 03E8 4 COM4 02E8 3 The values in this table play an important part in understanding the "wrinkles" associated with serial po[...]

PC Serial Ports A-6 Serial Ports Under Windows 3.1 Unlike the DOS-only world of yesterday, today's multitasking environments like Windows permit the microprocessor to communicate with up to four active serial port devices at the same time (COM1 through COM4). For example, under Windows, if you are using a serial mouse (on COM1) within a termin[...]

PC Serial Ports A-7 Workarounds and Solutions to the IRQ Conflict Problem It is important to remember that the IRQ conflict is a problem in hardware; it cannot be resolved in software alone. Consequently, there are only three alternatives for working around or resolving it: Workaround 1: Configure your serial devices such that you use only two at a[...]

PC Serial Ports A-8 Given the scenario described in item (1) above (that is, a mouse on COM1, a fax/modem card on COM2, and the PassageWay adapter on COM3), you might buy a bus mouse and configure it to use, say, IRQ2 or IRQ5. This would then permit you to move the PassageWay adapter onto COM1 (IRQ4), where it then could be used simultaneously with[...]

PC Serial Ports A-9 For example, consider once again the scenario of a COM1 mouse, a COM2 fax/modem card, and a COM3 PassageWay Service Provider. If the COM3 serial port is located on an add-on card that permits IRQs other than 3 or 4 to be selected, you could configure the COM3 serial port to use a different (available) IRQ in your system, say IRQ[...]

PC Serial Ports A-10 Selecting an Add-On Serial Port Card This section presents advice on how to choose an add-on serial port card for use with the PassageWay adapter. Because the PassageWay adapter does not have any unique requirements with respect to serial ports, this advice applies generically to selecting a serial port for use with any periphe[...]

PC Serial Ports A-11 2. For best performance with the PassageWay adapter, choose a card that has hardware support for high-speed communications. The PassageWay adapter operates at a data rate of 19.2 Kbps, and it relies on Windows to manage the flow of data through your PC's serial port. Depending upon your configuration, Windows may have prob[...]
