HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

The FHL-8124 has only one jumper block for the modem power. All other configuration is done using the configuration options on the reference diskette. The ADF file for the FHL-8124 is @6DBE.ADF.

PC MEMORY WINDOW ADDRESSES

The FHL-8124 supports two 16 KB windows in the PC memory space to access the memory on the board. There are seven possible choices of segment address for each window. The defaults are D000 for Window 0 and D400 for Window 1.

WINDOW 0: C000, C400, C800, CC00, D000, D400, D800
WINDOW 1: C400, C800, CC00, D000, D400, D800, DC00

PC I/O BASE ADDRESS

There are seven possible choices for the base PC I/O address for accessing the FHL-8124 adapter card. The default I/O base address is 300.

I/O ADDR: 300, 320, 340, 360, 380, 3A0, 3E0

PC INTERRUPT REQUEST LEVEL

There are five choices for the PC interrupt request level to be used when the board microcode wants to interrupt the PC. The default interrupt request level is IRQ 3.

IRQ: IRQ2, IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ7

J1 - MODEM POWER

A two position jumper (s/n 8100001-8100430) selects an optional regulated +8 volt DC power source on V.24 pin 25. Installing the shunt on positions 1-2 enables this power source, removing the shunt disables this feature. The maximum current used should not exceed 0.5 amps.

A three position jumper (s/n 8100431+) selects an optional regulated +9 volt DC power source on one of two V.24/RS-232 pins. Installing the shunt on positions 1-2 enables this power source on V.24 pin 9, installing the shunt on positions 2-3 enables this power source on V.24 pin 25, removing the shunt disables this feature. The maximum current used should not exceed 0.5 amps.
