RS-422 Configuration
Serial Configuration
1. Determine the number of serial ports installed in your system. Each
serial port will have an unique "COM" designation. Configure the
ports of the RS422-550 for two unused COM addresses.
2. Determine which IRQs (interrupts) are free in your system. Configure
each serial port on the RS422-550 for an unused IRQ. Although some
devices allow sharing of IRQs, this is not recommended. If you are
using Windows and are unsure which IRQs are available in your PC,
open Control Panel, System, Device Manager, and double-click on
Computer.This will list the IRQs that are . Select two unused
IRQs for the 2 ports on the RS422-550.
3a. For Serial 1, install the jumper above the number corresponding to
the desired IRQ, so that it covers the pin in the bottom row and the
pin in the middle row.
3b. For Serial 2, install the jumper above the number corresponding to
the desired IRQ, so that it covers the pin in the top row and the pin
in the middle row.
used
Do not install more than one IRQ jumper per serial port.

4. For Windows users: After you have configured the RS422-550
jumpers, you will need to go through the “Add New Hardware”
procedure in Windows Control Panel. Install the two ports on the
RS422-550 as Standard Communications Ports when prompted.
Please note that after completing the Add New Hardware
procedure, you will likely have to return to Control Panel, System,
Device Manager, and modify the settings in the Ports section by
changing the Basic Configuration to match your RS422-550
hardware jumper settings.
Note: To disable a port, remove the jumper from both the COM
the corresponding IRQ jumper configuration pins.
