                ===================================

Notes:

       The most recent information about EasyIO adaptors can
       be found in the Stallion Technologies CD ROM Resources CD or
       at www.stallion.com.

       The EasyIO/PCI adaptor requires ATA Rev 5.4.0 or later. It has no
       switches to configure and it is configured by the PCI BIOS.
       It is capable of supporting higher baud rates of 460,800.

       Rev 3 EasyIO4 & EasyIO8 adaptors requires ATA Rev 5.3.1 or later
       and both devices are  capable of supporting higher 
       baud rates of 230,400 and 460,800 respectively.

Manual Interrupt Settings
-------------------------

The Rev3 EasyIO4 also requires the manual selection of IRQ settings. The jumper
positions are shown on the board itself. 

Note that the edge/level IRQ setting should be set to the default of edge
triggered interrupts unless sharing of interrupts is required. This is only
possible if the adapter is installed in an EISA slot and if operating system
support is available. 

Windows 95 does NOT support sharing of interrupts. 


RJ45 Pinout
-----------

Note: In Rev 3, the former pinouts 1 & 10 are not present, as shown below:

	DSR            10			|	

Notes:
	The 10 pin RJ45 female connector will also mate with RJ11 and RJ12 
	and 8 pin RJ45 male connectors.  The RJ11 has four pins and will 
	connect with pins 4-7 on the RJ45.  The RJ12 has six pins and will 
	connect with pins 3-8 on the RJ45.  The 8 pin RJ45 connects with 
	pins 2-9 on the 10 pin RJ45.

	For software handshaking you can use any RJ connector.

	For hardware handshaking you must use an RJ12 or RJ45 connector.

	For modems using all of the above lines, you must use an RJ45
	connector with 10 pins.

	For Windows NT, if your application needs DSR high to open a port
	and you are using RJ45 with 8 pins only, you can use the work around
	described in the Miscellaneous section of the file WNT.TXT.


COMMON RS232C CABLES
====================

The following section sets out some common wiring configurations for both 
DB25 and RJ45 connectors.  These wiring diagrams can also be displayed 
during the Port Configuration process described in Chapter 2 - Standard 
Installation Procedures.

Notes:

. If the terminal or printer does not use DTR (pin 20) to indicate
  a busy condition, substitute the correct signal on the correct pin for DTR
  (pin 20) on the terminal or printer end of the cable in the above diagrams.

. Some printers also require either or both of the signals DSR and DCD to be
  held high to enable the printer to receive data. This can be achieved by
  linking DCD and DSR to another signal on the printer, such as DTR or RTS.
  Make sure this signal is not used as the hardware handshaking signal.

FCC Interference Statement
--------------------------

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  These limits 
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference 
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.  This equipment 
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed 
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful 
interference to radio communications.  Operation of this equipment in a 
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the 
user will be required to correct the interference at his or her expense.


Glossary
--------

ISA     Industry Standard Architecture.   
	This type of Bus is used in IBM PC/XT PC/AT or similar machines.  
	ISA boards usually have to be configured by the user.  Also, the 
	user must specify the configuration of the board to the driver 
	manually.

EISA    Extended ISA.  
	This is an extended ISA Bus.  EISA boards can be configured using 
	software, and the configuration can be detected by drivers without 
	user intervention.
