Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years
from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-
lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous test-
ing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an
Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware
and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any
onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return
merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows
us to process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-
ranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Chapter 2 Installation
This chapter describes how to install the PCI-1202. Please follow these
steps below to install the PCI-1202.
• Check what you have (section 2.1)
• Check PCB Board (section 2.2)
• Install hardware (section 2.3)
• Install software driver (section 2.4)
Understanding the I/O signal connections and their operation (chapter
3,4)
Understanding the connectors’ pin assignments (the rest of the sections)
and wiring the connections
2.1 Check What You Have
In addition to this User Manual, the package should also include the fol-
lowing items:
• PCI-1202: 2-Port AMONet RS-485 Master Card
• Advantech Driver Disc
• An optional terminal board for wiring purposes. (If a different model is
ordered.)

2.3 Hardware Installation
2.3.1 Hardware Configuration
PCI-1202 is a standard extension device of PCI for PC systems. All the
functions in a base system, such as the memory allocation, I/O port loca-
tions, and the address assignment, should be setup by following the man-
ual.
2.3.2 PCI-Slot Socket Selection
Most PCs have both PCI and ISA slots. Don’t force the PCI-1202 card
into an ISA slot. PCI-1202 can be only used in PCI slots.

CN1 RJ-45, AMONet extension connector
CN2 RJ-45, AMONet extension connector
CN5 DSUB 15-pin digital I/O connector

PCI-1202 User Manual 10
2.3.3 Installation Procedure
1. Please read this manual first, and then setup the jumper and switch
of the product in accordance to your needs.
2. Turn off your PC’s power, and make sure the AC power is discon-
nected. Also turn off the power on all accessories (printer, modem,
monitor, etc.) connected to the computer.
3. Open the chassis cover of the PC, and install the card. PCI-1202
can only be installed in a standard 32-bit PCI extension slot. It can’t
be used in a standard ISA or other extension slot.
4. Before handling PCI-1202, discharge any static buildup on your
body which may damage the product.
5. Position PCI-1202 in the correct PCI slot, and fix it. Secure the card
in place at the front PCB panel of the system unit by using screws
removed from the socket.
6. When removing the product, be sure to cut off the power first. Then
take PCI-1202 out of the system board.
2.3.4 Troubleshooting
If your system doesn’t boot correctly, please turn it off and make sure the
AC power is disconnected. Open the chassis cover of the PC and confirm
that PCI-1202 is firmly attached in its socket, that screws are locked and
PCI-1202 is set with correct jumper and switch configuration.
Please make sure the PC system is working correctly when PCI-1202 is
removed. If the PC system is working correctly after removing PCI-1202,
please follow standard installation steps to reinstall PCI-1202. If the sys-
tem still can’t boot correctly after the reinstallation of PCI-1202, please
contact your supplier for support.
2.4 Driver Installation
Auto-Run from the Advantech Driver CD. Choose Driver Installation ->
PCI-1202.
Follow the procedures of the installer.
After setup installation is completed, restart Windows.
