MULTIUSER DOS 7 GOLD configures standard serial devices via the CONFIG.EXE utility. When installing DFlex boards under the MULTIUSER DOS 7 GOLD operating system, refer to Boards and Ports under the Installation and Configuration section of the MULTIUSER DOS 7 GOLD Users Guide for more information.

Configuration

Dipswitch settings (SW1):

• 1,2,6 must be off.
• 3,4,5 are set for the I/O address chosen.
• 7 must be on to enable the status port.
• 8 must be on so all ports interrupt on Channel A.

Note: All ports must interrupt on one channel.

To install a DFlex adapter under MULTIUSER DOS 7 GOLD:

1. Type CONFIG at the C:\ prompt.
2. Select Boards and Ports.
3. Hit the INSERT key to add another board.
4. Select Standard Board.
5. Edit board details:
   Board Name – can be changed to “DFlex”
   Board Model – Standard Driver
   Number of Ports – 2,4 or 8
   IRQ Number – whatever was selected on the DFlex
   I/O Port or Poll Reg. – 0000
6. Hit ALT, then select Assign/Edit Ports.
   Here you can choose one of the stations, modems or printers that have been defined and assign it to this port.
7. After assigning the port you can then provide all of the Port Details.
8. Setup the Port AND Mask and Port XOR Mask as per chart below:
   PORT AND MASK XOR MASK STATUS PORT
   P1 01 00 *
   P2 02 00 *
   P3 04 00 *
   P4 08 00 *
   P5 10 00 *
   P6 20 00 *
   P7 40 00 *
   P8 80 00 *

* Status port depends on the selected port base address (SW 3,4,5).

The ports are standard DB-9 pinouts and are DTE (requires null modem cabling).
