Chapter 1: Overview.
Guide Organization This guide provides directions on how to install and set up the AT&T Intelligent Ports Card, Model 1600 (IPC-1600). It also explains how the product interacts with other components of your computer system and advises you on troubleshooting.
Guide Organization ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Appendix A, “Hardware Parameter Settings,” provides information about setting the Input/Output (I/O) port address, controller memory starting address, and the Interrupt ReQuest (IRQ) level for the IPC-1600.
What Is an IPC-1600? The AT&T Intelligent Ports Card, Model 1600 (IPC-1600) is a sixteen port, intelligent, serial Input/Output (I/O) controller with an 80C186 16-bit microprocessor running at 12.5 MHz. The sixteen RS-232, asynchronous ports are wired to RJ-45 (10-pin) fanout modules via two 80-conductor ribbon cables.
What Is an IPC-1600? ■ ■ ■ Two diskettes [one 3.5-inch, 720-KB diskette (COMCODE 405977737) and one 5.25-inch, 360-KB diskette (COMCODE 405977752)] each labeled “Intelligent Ports Card (IPC-1600) MS-DOS Device Drivers and Diagnostics, Version 1.
IPC-1600 Architecture The architecture of the IPC-1600 provides many useful and powerful multiuser capabilities under the UNIX system. Furthermore, single-user applications using the IPC-1600 for general-purpose I/O, as well as for industrial control, can be done under MS-DOS.
Ports and Drivers The software that takes care of the I/O tasks between the user terminals/MODEMs/printers and the UNIX system is built into the IPC-1600 firmware to increase the UNIX system performance. End users get the benefit of immediate keyboard/screen response and the enhancement of the overall performance of the UNIX system.
Information in the Examples The contents of most of the displays presented in this guide depend on the particular machine configuration. Therefore, the information displayed on your terminal will vary from the information presented in the examples.
Hexadecimal Notation Throughout this guide, base 16 numbers (hexadecimal) are denoted by a lowercase letter “h” suffix. For example, 100h. 1-8 IPC-1600 USER’S GUIDE.
MS-DOS and UNIX System IPC-1600 Use Strategy Native MS-DOS and UNIX System Operation Requirement: The host computer must be set up to have base memory above 512KB (512KB to 640KB) disabled for the IPC-1600 to use controller memory starting addresses 080000h or 090000h.
MS-DOS and UNIX System IPC-1600 Use Strategy MS-DOS Under Simul-Task and UNIX System Operation If you plan to use MS-DOS under Simul-Task 386 or to use only the UNIX system for the operation of the IPC-1600, skip Chapter 2.
Chapter 2: MS-DOS Device Driver Installation.
Introduction Comment: If you are using only the UNIX system for Intelligent Ports Card operation, you can skip this chapter and go to Chapter 3, “UNIX System Device Driver Installation.” If you plan to use MS-DOS under Simul-Task 386, follow the procedures in Chapter 3.
Installation Procedure The following steps define the sequence of events for installing the IPC-1600 for use in the native MS-DOS environment. Read the entire procedure and supporting paragraphs before doing the installation. Write down the hardware parameter settings for each board to be installed as you read through the procedure the first time.
Installation Procedure Preconfigure the IPC-1600 Boards Set the starting controller memory address (DS1, SW8—1), the I/O address (DS1, SW11—9), and the IRQ level (DS2, SW8—1) for each IPC-1600 to be installed. Note that IRQ levels are not used by the MS-DOS driver.
Installation Procedure Install the Hardware Refer to Chapter 4, “Hardware Installation,” and follow the instructions for the installation of the board. Ignore any instructions in Chapter 4 involving the DS1 and DS2 DIP switches, since they have already been done in this procedure.
Installation Procedure Now, change directory (cd) to IPC and copy the files on the diskette in the “A” drive or in the “B” drive to the system disk drive as follows. The example uses the “A” diskette drive; the system disk is the “C” drive.
Installation Procedure Create or Modify the CONFIG.SYS File Use an editor, such as EDLIN, to change (or create) the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of the drive from which you boot MS-DOS. Add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file if the IPC16DOS.
Installation Procedure Execute IPC16CNF to Configure the Driver The IPC16CNF.EXE program is used to configure or reconfigured the IPC-1600 MS-DOS driver and to specify individual channel (port) parameters. The following screen shows the initial IPC16CNF program display.
Installation Procedure Number of Boards Option The N)umber of Brds option is used to specify the number of installed IPC-1600 boards. The default is seven boards.
Installation Procedure Start Channel Number Option The S)tart Channel # option is used to specify the beginning channel number for all IPC-1600 provided ports. Each IPC-1600 port in the system is assigned a number that distinguishes it from the other ports in the system.
Installation Procedure Channel Parameters Option The following screen shows the initial display for changing parameters for a given IPC-1600 board. The display shows the default parameters. After selecting a channel, options are presented for changing the ENABLE, BAUD, MODE, HANDSHAKE, and NAME parameters.
Installation Procedure After selecting a channel, the following options are available. Q)uit E)nable B)aud M)ode H)andshake N)ame C)hange Chanl # Select Parameter : The E)nable option is used to enable (ENBL) or disable (DSBL) the selected channel (port) as shown in the following screen display.
Installation Procedure The H)andshake option is used to select the flow control for the selected channel (port). The following screen display shows how to select the flow control options. A) NONE B) XON/XOFF C) RTS/CTS D) BOT H Select Handshake Protocol : The N)ame option is used to change the MS-DOS name assigned to the channel.
Installation Procedure Finishing Up Quitting the IPC16CNF program using the Q)uit option produces various messages depending on what has been done before the exit request. During the exit process, a combination of the following prompts can be displayed.
Installation Procedure Reconfigure the Boards If Necessary Requirement: Be sure to take notes throughout this phase of installation. Write down I/O addresses and the memory addresses so that once the device drivers have been installed you will have a permanent record to which you may later refer.
Accessing Serial Ports After you have completed the hardware phase of the installation and the configured driver is loaded, use the serial I/O ports on the IPC-1600 as if they were files with file names COM5 through COM20 .
Removing the MS-DOS Device Driver To remove the Intelligent Ports Card MS-DOS device driver from the system, use an editor, such as EDLIN, to delete the entry in the CONFIG.
Removing the MS-DOS Device Driver The following screen display shows how to remove only IPC-1600 driver and configuration software files from the system disk. The IPC16DIA diagnostic program remains on the system disk. C: $ del ipcipc16dos.sy s C: $ del ipcipc16conf.
Limitations of the IPC-1600 MS-DOS Device Driver All IPC-1600 boards in the system must be assigned the same starting controller memory address; otherwise, only one board can be accessed under native MS-DOS.
Chapter 3: UNIX System Device Driver Installation.
Introduction Comment: If you are using only native MS-DOS for IPC-1600 operation, you can skip this chapter. Chapter 2, “MS-DOS Device Driver Installation,” provides MS-DOS driver installation and setup instructions. If you intend to run MS-DOS under Simul-Task 386, use the installation instruction in this chapter.
Tunable Parameters and Memory Guidelines The following table shows the tunable parameter guidelines for IPC-1600. IPC-1600 TUNABLE PARAMETERS SYSTEM MEMORY PARAMETER 2MB 4MB 8MB 16 MB+ NCLIST 120 170 .
Tunable Parameters and Memory Guidelines Sufficient system memory must be available to support the number of IPC-1600 boards being installed. The following system memory guidelines should be followed.
General Installation Procedures Power up the AT&T WGS computer, making sure that no diskette is in the diskette drive(s) during the boot phase. Wait until the UNIX system is ready, and then log in using either “root” or the privileged access user administration login you have been assigned.
Installation Procedures Comment 1: Comment 2: The installation software displays are dynamic and depend on the type and configuration of the machine. All possibilities are not presented in the examples. AT&T Framed Access Command Environment (FACE) subsystem is an optionally orderable product.
Installation Procedures Enter the number corresponding to the action you want to specify. After you specify either item 1 or 2, you will be asked to confirm your choice. Specifying item 3 terminates the installation process with nothing being installed.
Installation Procedures Specify Shared or Board-Unique Hardware Interrupt Assignment The installation process then asks you to specify how hardware interrupts are to be assigned.
Installation Procedures Specify Shared or Board-Unique Controller Memory Assignment The installation process then asks you to specify how controller memory is to be assigned.
Installation Procedures If you specify to share controller memory among all boards, you are then asked to select the controller memory starting address to be used by all IPC-1600 boards as follows. The IPC-1600 comes from the factory with the controller memory address range set to 080000h-08FFFFh.
Installation Procedures Specify the Number of Boards You are then asked to specify the number of boards to be installed as follows. Remember that the number of boards indicated in the example is dynamic with respect to the system type and available system configuration resources.
Installation Procedures Assigning Board-Unique Hardware Interrupt Request Level If you specified board-unique hardware interrupt assignments, the system now displays a list of available hardware interrupts and prompts you to enter the interrupt number to be assigned to the first board that you wish to install.
Installation Procedures Assigning an I/O Address The system now displays a list of available I/O addresses and prompts you to enter the I/O address to be assigned to the board.
Installation Procedures Assigning Board-Unique Starting Controller Memory Address If you specified board-unique controller memory assignment, the system now displays a list of available starting controller memory addresses and prompts you to enter the address to be assigned to the board.
Installation Procedures Remember that if you are adding more than one board, the controller memory addresses should not conflict. The IPC-1600 is 16-bit transfer board requiring 64KB of host memory. Also, 8-bit and 16-bit transfer boards cannot share a 128KB memory window.
Installation Procedures Confirming the Data After you enter the three items of data, a confirmation screen displays your choices and prompts you either to verify what you have selected or to indicate that it is unacceptable.
Installation Procedures Following the acceptance of the last board, an overall IPC-1600 configuration summary is displayed. The following is an example of how the display and prompt may appear on your screen: Board # TYPE IRQ I/O Addr . Mem. Addr ------ - --- - -- - -------- - -------- - 1.
Installation Procedures Completing Driver Installation After you enter Y in response to the last prompt, the system completes the driver installation by rebuilding the UNIX system kernel. This process takes several minutes. The following message appears: The UNIX Operating System will now be rebuilt.
Installation Procedures Once the kernel has been rebuilt, another message displays: Confirm To complete the install/remove process a shutdown is now being initiated automatically . Make sure your floppy drive is empty. If you are installing or removing controller boards, you may power down the system after the shutdown has completed.
Modifying Kernel Configuration Removing All IPC-1600 Boards To remove all IPC-1600 board information from the kernel, log in as “root” and execute removepkg.
Chapter 4: Hardware Installation.
Introduction The IPC-1600 board can be installed in any 16-bit or 32-bit bus expansion slot in following machines: ■ AT&T 6386E Work Group System ■ AT&T 6386/25 Work Group System ■ AT&T 6386E/33 Work Group System ■ AT&T 6386E/33 Work Group System Model S.
Preparation Prepare Machine for Installation If the machine is powered-up and is running the UNIX operating system, use the shutdown command to bring down the operating system as shown in the following screen display. # cd / # shutdown Set the power switch of the system and of all external devices to “OFF.
Preparation Prepare the IPC-1600 for Installation Set the Controller Memory Starting Address Locate the DS1 Dual In-line Package (DIP) switch (a group of eleven switches) on the IPC-1600.
Connect the 16-Ports Fanout Module Cables After setting the I/O port address, the controller memory starting address, and the hardware interrupt request level for the board, you are ready to connect the ribbon cables and port modular cables to the 16-Ports Fanout module as follows.
Connect the Ribbon Cables to the IPC-1600 Route the ribbon cables from the 16-Ports Fanout module to the host computer. Thread the ends of the ribbon cables through the board slot opening in the host computer and connect them to the IPC-1600 board. The connectors are keyed for proper alignment with the 80-pin headers on the board.
Install the Board Follow the instructions in the documentation that came with your machine for installing a board. Carefully pass the excess ribbon cable through the board slot opening until the board can be plugged into the 16- or 32-bit Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus connector.
Chapter 5: Managing the Serial Ports.
Introduction This chapter defines the IPC-1600 device node names used in the UNIX system. This chapter also describes how to manage the serial I/O ports using either the hipcutils (1) command or the AT&T Framed Access Command Environment (FACE), which is optionally available with the UNIX System V/386 Release 3.
Definition of IPC-1600 Device Node Names Node Names There are two classes of device node names: ■ ttyis xyy (for software) ■ ttyih xyy (for hardware). The x is the board occurrence number. Board numbers are 1 through 7. The yy is the port number on the IPC-1600 board.
Definition of IPC-1600 Device Node Names The following table shows all available device names for the serial ports with multiple IPC-1600 installation.
Definition of IPC-1600 Device Node Names Software Device Class The /dev/ttyis xyy device type must be used for I/O devices (terminals, printers, MODEMs, etc.
Definition of IPC-1600 Device Node Names Hardware Device Class The ttyih xyy provides the standard EIA RS-232C hardware handshaking and monitors the following: ■ ■ ■ Data Carrier Detect (DCD) Clear To Send (CTS) Ring Indicator (RI). The detection of the DCD loss causes the port to log off if the Hang UP on final CLose (HUPCL) flag is set.
IPC-1600 Administration Via hipcutils The hipcutils command is used to administer IPC-1600 ports. The command is used to reset ports that are hung or otherwise not operable and to configure the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) wink and break durations for a port.
UNIX System V Release 3.2 Administration Via FACE The AT&T Framed Access Command Environment (FACE) subsystem is an optionally orderable product which provides an enhanced UNIX system user interface. Contact your AT&T Service Representative or authorized dealer for more information.
UNIX System V Release 3.2 Administration Via FACE In order for the Flow Control selection to select the device properly, you must explicitly set the Flow Control field or, at the least, you must move the cursor through the field.
Chapter 6: System Features.
Features The IPC-1600 works in either 16-bit or 32-bit expansion I/O slots. The IPC-1600 provides sixteen identically configured serial I/O ports with a full complement of Electronic Industries Association (EIA) RS-232C/Consultative Committee International Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT) V.
Features ■ Break sequence (transmit data line held “low” for two consecutive stop-bit sequences). In addition, modem-handshaking line discipline and receive-error detection (such as framing error, data overrun error, and parity error) are built in.
Performance Characteristics The IPC-1600 supports the following bit per second rates: 38400, 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1800, 1200, 600, 300, 200, 150, 134.5, 110, 75, and 50. The performance of the IPC-1600 expressed in terms of line occupancy at a prescribed baud rate in the raw and cooked modes with no flow control is as follows.
Performance Characteristics The output capacity of the IPC-1600 is determined by the number of lines (ports) simultaneously operating at 98% occupancy with no flow control as follows.
Power Consumption The IPC-1600 is supplied with +5V, +12V, and –12V via the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) adapter card. The total typical case power consumption is as follows: +5V @ 2.00 Amperes = 10.0 Watts +12V @ 0.07 Amperes = 0.8 Watts –12V @ 0.
Chapter 7: Troubleshooting the Intelligent Ports Card.
Introduction This chapter includes detailed information on troubleshooting the Intelligent Ports Card and the use of the diagnostic program supplied on the “Intelligent Ports Card (IPC-1600) MS-DOS Device Drivers and Diagnostics, Version 1.0” diskette.
MS-DOS Boot Error Message The following error messages may be displayed at system boot time and can be caused by an incorrect board configuration. SRAM MEMORY ERROR (Indicates faulty memory or memory not found.) BIOS RESET ERROR (Indicates BIOS failed to initialize correctly.
IPC-1600 Diagnostics Copy Diagnostics to the System Disk Comment: This procedure is only for systems running native MS-DOS from the system disk drive. Power up the system [AT&T Work Group System (WGS) computer] to boot native MS-DOS (Version 3.0 or later) from the system disk drive.
IPC-1600 Diagnostics Now, change directory (cd) to IPC and copy the IPC16DIA.COM file on the diskette in the “A” drive or in the “B” drive to the system disk drive as follows. The example uses the “A” drive. Change directory to an optional separate directory to contain the IPC-1600 software.
IPC-1600 Diagnostics How to Run Diagnostics IPC-1600 diagnostics are run by executing the IPC16DIA program under native MS-DOS. There are six diagnostics which can be selectively executed from the IPC16DIA program. The program is terminated by the ESC key.
IPC-1600 Diagnostics You are next asked to select the starting memory address for the board to be tested as follows. Select the appropriate number (1-7) for the IPC-1600 memory address : 1)80000H 2)90000 H 3)A0000H 4)B0000H 5)C0000H 6)D0000H You are then asked to specify the IRQ level for the board to be tested as follows.
IPC-1600 Diagnostics The IPC16DIA program is terminated by entering an escape (ESC). The following screen shows that all diagnostics were successfully executed once for the specified board and then an ESC entered to quit the program.
IPC-1600 Diagnostics IPC-1600 Test Descriptions Host 64KB Dual-Ported Memory Tests The host processor dual-ported memory test diagnostics execute in the host processor. These tests write to memory, read the memory, and compare what is read to what was written.
IPC-1600 Diagnostics IPC-1600 Communication Ports Tests The communication ports tests execute in both the host processor and the IPC-1600. These tests use the IPC-1600 FEPOS to exercise each port on the IPC-1600.
Helpful Hints Typically, the lower interrupts on the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus are used by other circuit boards in the system. Therefore, to prevent configuration conflicts, try using some of the higher interrupts (IRQ 10, IRQ 11, and IRQ 15) for the Intelligent Ports Card.
Helpful Hints When using a Hayes* compatible MODEM, dial out once to configure the MODEM before caIling into the MODEM. The AT&T 446 Laser Printer and the HP† LaserJet Series II printer must be installed on a serial port configured as a ttyih xyy device under the UNIX system.

Appendix C: AT&T IPC-1600 Ports Cabinet.
General Description Purpose The AT&T IPC-1600 Ports Cabinet (Figure C-1) is a wire-frame assembly providing mounting space for two 16-Ports Fanout modules (COMCODE 405977869). The cabinet can be placed on a table or floor or can be mounted on a wall or other stable surface.
Installation Information Comment: Before doing any installation activity, you should first read through all the information in this section to gain a complete understanding of what needs to be done. General Instructions The general sequence to install the IPC-1600 ports cabinet is as follows.
Installation Information Choosing a Mounting Location The AT&T IPC-1600 Ports Cabinet must be located within about 7 cable feet (2 meters), the length of the fanout module cable assembly, of the host machine. The method of mounting (floor, table, or wall) is a matter of convenience for your particular installation.
Installation Information Installing the 16-Ports Fanout Module It is recommended that the upper position of the two mounting positions be used first to facilitate easy addition of the second 16-Ports Fanout module. The 16-Ports Fanout module snaps into the wire-frame assembly from the front of the assembly (Figure C-2).
