4. Carefully insert your PCIe-S1x8 card into the PCI Express slot.

5. Replace the PC cover.

6. Power on the computer.

7. Follow the prompt message to finish the Plug & Play steps.

8. Please open the “Device Manager” to verify the COM port installation, as follows steps:
   8-1: In Windows 7, Click “Start” button, and then click “Control Panel”.
   8-2: Click “System and Maintenance”, and then click “Device Manager”.
   8-3: Verify that the COM ports of PCIe-S118/S148 card are listed correctly.

Manual COM Port Configuration

If the auto-configuration for COM Port is messy or that is not what you need, you can change the COM port mappings. For detailed configuration steps, please refer to the following:

1. Open Windows Device Manager and right-click on the serial port of the PCIe-S1x8 series card.

2. Select the “Properties” item from the popup menu.

3. Click the “Port Settings” tab and click the “Advanced…” button.

4. Select the appropriate COM Port number from the “COM Port Number:” drop-down options and click the “OK” button. Note that the COM port display “(in use)” means this COM port is being used.
   Therefore, please do not select it.

5. Click the “OK” button in the “Properties” dialog box.

6. Restart your computer to complete the configuration.

PCIe-5148 Card| RS-485 Wiring| Device
---|---|---
Signal| PIN| PIN| Signal
DATA-| 1| | 2| DATA-
DATA+| 2| DATA+

Note: The RS-485 bus is a differential (balanced) signal, thus you cannot wire the Data+ with Data- directly for a single port loop-back test. It will not work at all.

Self-Test Wiring

Step 1: Connect the DN-09-2 terminal board (optional) to the PCIe-S1x8 series card using the CA-9-6210 and
CA-0910F cables (optional).

Step 2: Wire the Port 0 and Port1.

• PCIe-S118 card (RS-232 Wiring): Shorting the RxD, TxD and GND pins of both Port0 and Port1.

Port0
Signal| PIN| PIN| Signal
---|---|---|---
TxD0| 3| | 2| RxD1
RxD0| 2| | 3| TxD1
GND| 5| | 5| GND

• PCIe-S148 card (RS-485 Wiring): Shorting the Port0 Data+ and Port1 Data+ and the Port0 Data- and Port1 Data- pins.

Execute the Test Program

Step 1: Execute the Test2COM.exe program, which can be downloaded from:
Step 2: Set the appropriate COM Ports, Baud Rate and Data Format information to the values shown in the image below.

1. COM Ports: Enter COM3 (First), and COM4 (Second).
2. Data Bits: Check “8”
3. Parity: Check “None”
4. Stop Bits: Check “1”
5. Baud Rates: Check values 9600 to 115200
6. Test Loops: Type “1”
7. Click the “Start Test” button to begin the

Successful Testing
Once the test is complete, verify the test results.
If the result indicates that the test was successful, the expanded COM Port is ready-to-use.
