Hardware Installation 

Before you begin, take a minute to ensure that your package includes the required components 
that should have shipped with your Xtreme/104. 

•

One Xtreme/104 adapter or Xtreme/104 RS-232 adapter 

•

One CD containing software and documentation 

•

One DB-9 cable (optional) 

If any of these components is missing, 

contact Connect Tech

 (See Contact Details) or your 

reseller.  Also, visit the 

Download Zone

 of the 

Support Center

 on the Connect Tech website for 

the latest product manuals, installation guides, diagnostic utilities and device driver software. 
 

Notes: 
1.  Please refer to the 

RS-232/ 422/485 Interfaces

section in the back of the manual for more 
information concerning RS-232 and RS-422/485 
settings for the Xtreme/104 adapter. 

 
2.  Please refer to the 

Factory Default Settings

 section 

in the back of the manual concerning the factory 
settings for the Xtreme/104 adapter. 

Port Addresses 

Port addresses are configured with the jumper block J1 or JB1 on the Xtreme/104 or Xtreme/104 
RS-232 adapter respectively.  Jumpers 0, 1, and 2 select a set of port addresses for the ports. 

 Status Port Addresses 

Some operating system device drivers can utilize an Interrupt Status Port, for example Windows 
NT offers it as an option and for SCO Unix it is mandatory.  This can improve your system’s 
efficiency.  The Xtreme/104 and Xtreme/104 RS-232 offer a status port and this port is enabled 
and disabled using jumper 5 on jumper block J1 or JB1. 

Please refer to 

Table 1

for a list of supported status port addresses and to 

Figure 1

 or 

Figure 2

for 

a description and location of jumper block J1 and JB1. 

Note

: 

Please make certain that the Status Port Enable jumper is 
disabled if your application is not using the Status Port.  This 
eliminates the possibility of an address conflict with another 
device in your system. 

Custom Port Addresses 

You can generate other port addresses by making changes to the CPLDs found on the 
Xtreme/104 and Xtreme/104 RS-232 adapter.  If you require specific port addresses not listed in 

Table 1

 please contact a 

Connect Tech Customer Service Representative

 for further information.
