SERIAL

SOLUTIONS

SOFTWARE.

Introduction.

This chapter is a brief description for the INCLUDED

Serial Solutions software package.

Introducing Serial Solution Software.

The perfect partner for any Serial Port is Serial Solutions

Software! Serial Solutions is a fully featured suite of programs

designed to squeeze the most from PC serial communications, and

is ideal as a teaching aid for you to develop your own serial

comms programs.

Serial Solutions is made up of the following components: -

Serial Solutions for DOS

Serial Solutions for Windows 3.x

Serial Solutions for Windows 95

Serial Solutions for Windows NT

All the Serial Solutions drivers have the following features: -

•Drivers for PC FIFO UARTs e.g. 16550 as well as the new

improved 32 byte 16650 and 64 byte 16750 UARTs.

•Support for any mix of RS232, RS422 and RS485 handshake

schemes.

•Support for wider range of Baud rates and for more than four

serial ports.

Serial Solutions For DOS.

Serial Solutions for DOS consists of the following

programs: -

Serial Solutions PCI Quad / Lynx 8 Port RS232

Chapter 1 Page 2

NewCOM.sys A device driver, it supports COM1 to COM16,

allowing 16 serial ports to be used under DOS.

It also includes an interrupt handler for

enhanced performance with user definable

buffer sizes. Accessible from all DOS

languages, it is the heart of the Serial Solution.

It has extensive handshaking support,

implementing both hardware handshaking

using any combination of the DTR, DSR, CTS,

RTS, and DCD lines, and a software handshake

using the XON/XOFF protocol.

NewCOM24.sys A device driver providing support for 24 ports.

NewCOM32.sys A device driver providing support for 32 ports.

NewMode.exe A replacement for the DOS ’mode com...’

command. NewMode is used to set the serial

parameters, including the port address, IRQ line

used, the baud rate, parity and data and stop bit

options. Baud rates supported are from 110

baud to 115,200 baud! Included is a very handy

query mode that reports the settings of the

various serial ports. Flexible and fast!

EASY programs. The EASY disk contains short, simple to

understand and use EASYBAS, EASYC and

ASYPAS programs, providing straight forward,

file type I/O to serial ports with debug

information. Use these FIRST, base your

sample applications on them. Source code,

make files and compiled ready to run programs

supplied.

TERM programs A suite of larger terminal emulation programs

written in C (Cterm), Assembly language

(Aterm), Pascal (Pasterm), BASIC (BASterm)

and FORTRAN (FORterm) show how to access

the NEWBIOS routines as well as the simple

file I/O to ports. They contain many lines of

code and are thus harder to grasp. They

Chapter 1 Page 3

demonstrate in depth serial port programming

in a variety of languages but they are also

useful tools for using serial devices.

Comtest.exe Comtest is a short but invaluable program that is

used to check that the serial port at a particular I/O

address is functioning correctly and is connected to

the particular IRQ line. The program correctly

identifiesthe UART type by employing the built in

loop back capability of the PC serial port chip, a

full test ofthe baudrate generator, transmitting and

receiving buffer, parity enable and start stop bit is

performed. There is no need for a second serial

port or a cable when using this utility.

Serial Solutions For Windows 3.x

Serial Solutions for Windows 3.x works with Windows 3.0,

3.1 and 3.11 as well as Windows For Workgroups 3.11.

Serial Solutions for Windows 3.x consists of the following

programs: -

Setup.exe The install routine for the package.

Port.DLL Enhanced Control Panel applet. Allows

configuration of extra serial ports from the

Windows Control Panel. Supports single as well

as multiport cards using shared interrupts.

BbLynx.drv Replacement for COMM.DRV.

LynxAPI.dll Enhancement to the Windows Comms API’s

allowing support for more than 9 ports.

Term.exe Terminal program.

EasyCWIN C source code, project files and ready to run.exe

program for an easy to understand Windows

terminal program. Learn how to write Windows

comms apps correctly the easy way.

Serial Solutions For Windows 95.

Windows 95 has an improved communication API and

directly supports up to 255 ports. Our Windows 95 driver supports

the shared interrupt mechanism used on our multiport cards. Serial

Serial Solutions PCI Quad / Lynx 8 Port RS232

Chapter 1 Page 4

Solutions for Windows 95 consists of the following programs: -

SSCards.inf The information file to aid the installation

process "Have Disk....”

Ssmodem.inf Setup file for Serial Solutions modems.

sscardui.dll

ssportui.dll The device manager configuration DLLs and…

ssenum.vxd

ssv485.vxd ...the virtual device drivers providing the shared

ssvel.vxd interrupt handlers and dispatch routines etc for the

ssmult.vxd various Serial Solutions serial cards.

ssm485.vxd

Serial Solutions For Windows NT.

Windows NT has an improved communication API and

directly supports up to 255 ports. No extra driver is necessary for

Windows NT to drive multiport cards. Serial Solutions for

Windows NT consists of the following programs: -

Setup.exe Expands into the Control Panel applet and

associated files which allows the configuration of

all ports on Serial Solutions serial cards.

Ssmodem.inf Setup file for Serial Solutions modems.

Complete Documentation and Technical Backup.

We believe in supplying complete documentation with

every package we sell. The Serial Solution Software Package is no

exception, it has an attractive manual in an A5 binder, containing

over 150 pages of in-depth technical detail with comprehensive
