To verify successful installation:
1. From the main desktop, click on My Computer, then
double-click on Control Panel, System, and Device
Manager.
2. Double-clickoneitherone of thePorts(COM&LPT)or
SIIG CyberPCI device options. The CyberSerial PCI
16C550(COMx)shouldbedisplayedwhensuccessfully
installed. The port is ready to connect your new device.
Speed Change
The default baud rate for yourCyberSerial PCI is 115.2Kbps.
If you connect a higher speed device, you may change the
baud rate to support up to 460Kbps. Two DOS utility files,
cs1000hi.exe and cs1000lo.exe, are provided for changing
the speed.
Runningcs1000hi.exewill permanently set the baud rate to
high speed. cs1000lo.exe enables you to switch back to the
default 115.2Kbps speed again, (following the same
procedures below.)
NOTE
Only switch to 460Kbps when using a device that
supports a baud rate faster than 115.2Kbps. Any
speedlessthan115.2Kbps,keepatdefaultsetting.

Software Installation
Perform the following steps to change the baud rate speed:
1. Start or reboot your system and press the <F8> function
key when the “Starting Windows 95” message is
displayed.

c. From the C:\> prompt, type a: and press <Enter>.
d. Type cd dos and press <Enter>.
e. From the A:\DOS> prompt, type cs1000hi and press
<Enter>.
3. “Set highest baud rate = 460K” will be displayed.
4. Removethe diskette and reboot the system. Your system
is now ready to support speeds up to 460Kbps.
3-2 Windows NT 4.0 Driver Installation

5. From the “Choose Destination Location” window, click
Nexttoinstallthedriverfilesinthedefaultfolder,orclick
Browse to change. Then click Next to proceed.
6. From the next “Setup Complete” window, select Yes to
restart.
7. Remove the diskette and click on Finish to reboot your
system.
To verify successful installation:
1. From the main desktop, click on My Computer, then
Control Panel.
2. Double-click on theCyberSerial PCI icon. The assigned
COM port (i.e. COM3) is displayed. To verify the Base
I/O Address, double-click onSettings, then Advanced.
NOTE
During system startup after installing the
CyberSerial PCI, a non-conflicting COM port and
base I/O address will be assigned. In certain
cases,however,youmayhaveanapplicationthat
requires a specific conventional COM setting
(Standard com1~4) that was not assigned by the
system. Ifyouhavethissituation,youcanoverride
the auto-setting by going into the Control Panel’s
CyberSerialPCIscreentochangeittoacompatible
setting.
Speed Change
The default baud rate for yourCyberSerial PCI is 115.2Kbps.
If you connect a higher speed device, you may change the
baud rate to support up to 460Kbps. The DOS cs1000hi.exe
utilityis provided forthis purpose.Refer tosection3-3.2for
instructions.

3-3 DOS/Windows 3.x Utilities
For DOS support, run the dosinst.bat file to copy DOS
driver files cs1000hi.exe, cs1000lo.exe and cs1000pc.exe to
subdirectory c:\siig\cs1000> on drive C.
1. Insert the CyberSerial PCI Driver Installation diskette in
the floppy drive.
2. From the C:\> prompt, type a: and press <Enter>.
3. From the A:\> prompt, type cd dos and press
<Enter>.
4. From the A:\DOS> prompt, type dosinst and press
<Enter> to copy the files to subdirectory c:\siig\cs1000.
5. Remove the floppy diskette.
3-3.1 Change I/O Address - cs1000pc.exe
During your system’s startup after installing the CyberSerial
PCI card, PCI plug-n-play automatically assigns the next
available COM port and I/O address. The auto-settings
should work for most configurations, however, in certain
cases, you may have an application that requires a specific
conventional COM setting, such as COM3 3E8h, that was
not assigned by the system. If you are using Windows 3.x or
DOS only, and you have this situation, you can use
cs1000pc.exe to change the I/O address.
Running cs1000pc.exe
cs1000pc.exe can be used to show the current settings of the
CyberSerial PCI board and to change the pre-assigned I/O
address set by PCI plug-n-play. It can be run directly from
the driver diskette DOS subdirectory or from installed
C:\siig\cs1000 subdirectory on drive C.

CyberSerial PCI User's Manual
Toruncs1000pc.exe,attheDOSpromptofitsdirectorypath,
type:
cs1000pc [/d] [/a] [/s] [/p] [/?]
Use the following usage switches when executing the
CS1000pc command:
/dDevNum Selects the particular CyberSerial PCI
/aIO address Assigns the I/O base address to
CyberSerial PCI
/s Shows the current settings of all
CyberSerial PCI
/p[DevNum] Shows all or (specified) PCI devices
/? Displays the usage switch definitions
For example, to change the address to the next available
standard COM port address, type:
c:\siig\cs1000> cs1000pc
This is a temporary setting, and may be reassigned by the
system when rebooted. To keep the next available standard
COM port address setting, you must add the following
command line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
device=<path>cs1000pc
For example:
device=c:\siig\cs1000\cs1000pc
3-3.2 Speed Changer - cs1000hi.exe/cs1000lo.exe
The default baud rate for yourCyberSerial PCI is 115.2Kbps.
If you connect a higher speed device, you may change the
baud rate to support up to 460Kbps. Two DOS utility files,
cs1000hi.exe and cs1000lo.exe, are provided for changing
the speed.
Runningcs1000hi.exe will permanently set the baud rate to
high speed. cs1000lo.exe enables you to switch back to the
default 115.2Kbps speed again, (following the same
procedures.)

NOTE
Only switch to 460Kbps when using a device
that supports a baud rate faster than
115.2Kbps. Any speed less than 115.2Kbps,
keep at default setting.
Perform the following steps to change the baud rate speed:
1. First create a bootable DOS diskette.
a. Insert a diskette into the floppy drive. Make sure it
does not contain any wanted files.
b. AttheDOSprompt,type formata:/sandpress<Enter>
to create a bootable diskette.
WARNING: All files will be erased.
2. Copy the cs1000hi.exe file from the c:\siig\cs1000
subdirectory on drive C to the bootable diskette.
3. Reboot the system with the bootable diskette in drive A.
4. FromtheA:\>prompt,type cs1000hi andpress <Enter>.
5. “Set highest baud rate = 460K” will be displayed.
6. Remove the diskette and reboot the system. Your system
is now ready to support speeds up to 460Kbps.
3-3.3 IRQ Setup in Windows 3.x
If you are using Windows 3.x, proceed with the following
steps to set the IRQ for the CyberSerial PCI in Windows 3.x:
1. Determine the CyberSerial PCI’s IRQ setting:
Run the cs1000pc.exe utility by typing the following
command (from the DOS prompt of its subdirectory) to
display the current settings of the CyberSerial PCI:
c:\siig\cs1000> cs1000pc /s
