Installing the Parallel PCI card under DOS for use with Windows 3.x or DOS
PURPOSE OF UTILITY
The purpose of the program is to enable our board from DOS level. It configures DOS to accept our board and it may set the PCI bus address to what you have set as a parameter. You can leave that parameter out and DOS will be configured to what the PCI bus on your system has configured our card to.
DOS can have a maximum of three parallel ports enabled. So you can have up to 3 Parallel PCI cards in a system as long as there are no other parallel ports in the system. The three standard addresses are 3bc 378 278. The lava card cannot install on 3bc because it may cause problems with video cards. You may assign the card any address you wish other than 3bc. You must omit parameter 2 and three if there is only one parallel Pci card in your system.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) Insert the Lava Parallel PCI into a free PCI slot.
2) Boot into DOS.
3) With the Lava Parallel PCI floppy diskette in the floppy drive, copy the setaddr.sys file to root directory of the hard drive.
Use the following command:
copy a:\DOS\setaddr.sys c:
4) Add the following line to your config.sys above (following) all devices to be loaded such as HIMEM and EMM386, or if you are running DOS under Windows 95 add this line also to your Config.dos.
device=c:\setaddr.sys [1] [2] [3]
where [1] [2] [3] (leave the [] out) are the I/O addresses that you wish to assign to the Lava Parallel PCI cards started with Lava Parallel PCI with the lowest PCI slot number. Consult your motherboard manual to verify which slot is the lowest slot number. You can use other addresses for the Parallel PCI card such as 378 or non standard addresses such as 288,238,2b8,338.
NOTE!!
DO NOT USE THE STANDARD ADDRESS 3BC! This address could cause problems with your video.
here are some examples:
1 Lava Parallel PCI installed on address 278:
device=c:\setaddr.sys 278
1 Lava Parallel PCI installed on PCI bus assigned address
device=c:\setaddr.sys
2 Lava Parallel PCI installed on PCI bus assigned address
device=c:\setaddr.sys
3 Lava Parallel PCI installed on PCI bus assigned address
device=c:\setaddr.sys
2 Lava Parallel PCI cards installed on address 278 and 378 first card 378 second card 278.
device=c:\setaddr.sys 378 278
3 Lava Parallel PCI cards installed on address 278 and 378 288 first card 378 second card 278 third card 288.
device=c:\setaddr.sys 378 278 288
You can also leave out these parameters and the Parallel PCI card will be assigned the PCI bus assigned address like 6000,5000....
5) Reboot into DOS and our setaddr.sys utility will report the IRQ and address assigned to our card.

NOTES ON INSTALLATION OF THE LAVA SERIAL DEVICE ON THE LAVA DSERIAL PCI CARD IN WIN 3.X
1) With the power off on your computer, insert the Lava DSERIAL PCI card into an empty PCI slot.
2) Power up the computer and boot into DOS mode.
3) Run the lavaconf.exe utility found on the Win3.1 directory on the diskette provided.
4) Record the IO addresses and IRQ that it reports.
5) Boot into Win3.X and enter Control Panel and then Ports.
6) Modify the IO addresses and IRQ for the COM3 and COM4 port to match what you have recorded in step 4.
7) Restart Win3.X.
KNOWN ISSUES
Win3.X only has the ability to install up to 4 COM ports.
NOTE: This utility can also be used for the configuration of COM ports under DOS. Use the addresses and IRQ reported in by this utility to configure the ports in your DOS application. Refer to the DOS applications manual or Readme.txt for details on how to configure the port.

1) Insert the Lava Parallel PCI into a free PCI slot.
2) Boot into DOS.
3) With the Lava Parallel PCI floppy diskette in the floppy drive, copy the setaddr.sys file to root directory of the hard drive.
Use the following command:

4) Add the following line to your config.sys above (following) all devices to be loaded such as HIMEM and EMM386, or if you are running DOS under Windows 95 add this line also to your Config.dos.
device=c:\setaddr.sys [1] [2] [3]

Consult your motherboard manual to verify which slot is the lowest slot number. You can use other addresses for the Parallel PCI card such as 378 or non standard addresses such as 288,238,2b8,338.
NOTE!!
DO NOT USE THE STANDARD ADDRESS 3BC! This address could cause problems with your video.
here are some examples:
1 Lava Parallel PCI installed on address 278:
device=c:\setaddr.sys 278
1 Lava Parallel PCI installed on PCI bus assigned address
device=c:\setaddr.sys
2 Lava Parallel PCI installed on PCI bus assigned address
device=c:\setaddr.sys
3 Lava Parallel PCI installed on PCI bus assigned address
device=c:\setaddr.sys
2 Lava Parallel PCI cards installed on address 278 and 378 first card 378 second card 278.
device=c:\setaddr.sys 378 278
3 Lava Parallel PCI cards installed on address 278 and 378 288 first card 378 second card 278 third card 288.
device=c:\setaddr.sys 378 278 288
You can also leave out these parameters and the Parallel PCI card will be assigned the PCI bus assigned address like 6000,5000....
5) Reboot into DOS and our setaddr.sys utility will report the IRQ and address assigned to our card.

Setup for LavaPort PCI under Windows 3.1/3.11
1) Please note that Windows 3.1/3.11 does not support more than 4 Com Ports. Windows 3.1/3.11 users are therefore strongly recommended to set the LavaPort PCI jumper to the Com 3 position. After this is done, insert the LavaPort PCI into a PCI slot in your system (make sure power is off).
2) Power on your PC. If the system automatically enters Windows, exit to DOS.
3) Copy the file "Lavaconf.exe" from the Win3.11 directory of the LavaPort PCI floppy diskette to your hard drive.
4) Run Lavaconf.exe
5) Lavaconf.exe will display the two I/O addresses and one IRQ that are used by the LavaPort PCI. Make a note of them.
6) If Lavaconf.exe reports "IRQ=0", you will need to manually make an IRQ available to the PCI bus through CMOS (BIOS) settings. To do this reboot the system, and press DELETE to enter CMOS. Each CMOS setting is different, but most have a PCI configuration screen that will list IRQ assignments. Assign an unused IRQ to the PCI bus.
7) Enter Windows (WIN)
8) Install the Windows 3.1/3.11 driver. To do this click File, Run, and then access Setup.exe in the Win3.11 subdirectory on the LavaPort PCI diskette. The driver will install and ask you to reboot your system. After reboot, the Lava Configuration Utility will appear.
9) Using the Lava Configuration Utility, configure your Com Ports for the proper UART type, I/O address, IRQ, etc. You may use the Lava Configuration Utility to configure your existing (non-Lava) Com Ports as well as the LavaPort PCI. If you have 2 Com Ports previously installed on your mainboard, the LavaPort PCI ports will be configured as Com 3/4, but you will have to manually type in the I/O address and IRQ (as reported by Lavaconf.exe) into the appropriate screens.
10) In the Windows subdirectory, find the file called "System.ini" and open it using Write or Notepad. In this file there will be 2 lines that read:
ComXSHAREIRQ=0
where X are the port numbers (usually 3 & 4) that you have assigned in Step 9 using the Lava Configuration Utility. Both of these lines must be changed to
ComXSHAREIRQ=1
11) Save settings, exit Windows, and reboot.
12) Enter Windows and check that all settings have been saved in the Lava Configuration Utility. If you have problems entering the Lava Configuration Utility, you may have to open Control Panel and then Ports to verify your settings. If so, do not make changes in Control Panel, simply enter and exit, then open the Lava Configuration Utility again.

8) Install the Windows 3.1/3.11 driver. To do this click File, Run, and then access Setup.exe in the Win3.11 subdirectory on the LavaPort PCI diskette. The driver will install and ask you to reboot your system. After reboot, the Lava Configuration Utility will appear.
9) Using the Lava Configuration Utility, configure your Com Ports for the proper UART type, I/O address, IRQ, etc. You may use the Lava Configuration Utility to configure your existing (non-Lava) Com Ports as well as the LavaPort PCI. If you have 2 Com Ports previously installed on your mainboard, the LavaPort PCI ports will be configured as Com 3/4, but you will have to manually type in the I/O address and IRQ (as reported by Lavaconf.exe) into the appropriate screens.
10) In the Windows subdirectory, find the file called "System.ini" and open it using Write or Notepad. In this file there will be 2 lines that read:
ComXSHAREIRQ=0
where X are the port numbers (usually 3 & 4) that you have assigned in Step 9 using the Lava Configuration Utility. Both of these lines must be changed to
ComXSHAREIRQ=1
11) Save settings, exit Windows, and reboot.
12) Enter Windows and check that all settings have been saved in the Lava Configuration Utility. If you have problems entering the Lava Configuration Utility, you may have to open Control Panel and then Ports to verify your settings. If so, do not make changes in Control Panel, simply enter and exit, then open the Lava Configuration Utility again.

Observations
STEP1 BIOS(CMOS SETTINGS)
a) Shut down the Computer and enter your BIOS (CMOS) setup. Ensure that PnP OS installed is set to NO or DISABLED.
Reserve IRQs you have chosen for jumpered cards to Legacy ISA. This will eliminate any possibility of conflicts being created with those devices. Make sure that there is an IRQ available for our card.
Do this in the following manner:
Enter PNP CONFIGURATION SETUP.
Change RESOURCES CONTROLLED BY from AUTO to MANUAL.
Scroll down to the IRQ assigned to our card and change that IRQ from PCI/ISA PnP to Legacy ISA to make it unavailable for our card. If all the IRQs are made unavailable then the LavaPort PCI product will not install.
The previous method applies to an Award BIOS version 4.51 PG. Consult your motherboard manual to find similar settings changes and how to enter your BIOS setup.
STEP2 INSTALLING CARD:
a) With the power off place the Lava Parallel PCI into a PCI slot.
Ensure that the slot is not a Shared PCI/ISA slot. Consult your mother board to verify that the slot is not a shared PCI/ISA slot
b) Power up the computer and boot into Windows NT4.0 and log on as Administrator.
c) Run the setup.exe located on the NT4.0 directory on the floppy.
d) After setup has completed and the system has rebooted verify that the LavaPort has installed properly by going to Start Settings Control Panel and entering the LavaPort Control Panel Applet.
STEP3 ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT (FOR LAVA PARALLEL PCI PORTS ONLY)
To change the address assignment for the Lava Parallel PCI go to Start Settings Control Panel and Double Click the LavaPort Icon.
The LavaPort Control Panel Applet will appear and the Lava Parallel Port(s) will appear under the Lava Parallel Ports Tree.
The Lava Parallel PCI allows for manual Address Assignments. There are two manual addresses available: 0378 and 0278.
To change the address then hilite the port you wish to change and click Properties. In the drop down list for Base I/O Port Address you will have a choice of Default (PCI bus assigned address), 0378 or 0278.
If you are installing a printer to the Lava Parallel PCI choose the PCI Bus assigned address.
If you are installing a non-printer peripheral such as a scanner or external drive then choose either 0278 or 0378 . Ensure that you do not assign the Lava Parallel PCI to an address used by your onboard parallel port. To find out where your OnBoard Parallel Port is installed go to Start - Programs - Adminstrative Tools - Windows NT Diagnostics. Enter the Resources Tab and then click the Devices button to the bottom right. In the list of Devices that appear, double click the ParPort device. The IO address associated with the ISA bus is the OnBoard Parallel Port Address.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The LavaPort drivers will show messages in the Event Viewer regarding success or failure. If you are having trouble with the LavaPort go to Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - Event Viewer. Ensure that the System Log is enabled from the Log Menu. Write down any messages reported by the following services:
DetectLava,
SerialLava,
Serial,
and,
ParPort

Use of the LavaPort Control Applet:
USE OF LAVA CONTROL PANEL APPLET
1. The LavaPort Control Applet was written in a "Plug and Play" manner. It will attempt to install your card and attempt to show you any conflicts.
2. Information from LavaPort Control Applet installation is written to the System Log. Please refer here for more detailed information.
3. "Lava strongly recommends the use of the LavaPort Control Applet for use with your LavaPort-PCI product, for both installation and to make user-defined settings changes."
4. By clicking in Control Panel - LavaPorts you will find information on your LavaPort-PCI product. Double click it and you will see one of these possibilities:
* Just the icon, indicates NO CONFLICTS.
* Red "X" through the icon, indicates the hardware has been disabled. This can happen if you override the standard Com settings. Accessing the System Log will indicate the overlap in the Com Registers.
* Blue "!" exclamation point, indicates a System Conflict.
* Yellow "?" question mark, indicates a card not enumerated by the System (the conflict is unresolved).

NOTE: Reserving the IRQs in the BIOS is just a precautionary measure. It eliminates the possibility of our card on an IRQ already being used by an ISA device. ISA devices are not capable of sharing their IRQs.
However, the Plug and Play Operating System setting must be set to NO or DISABLED. If your BIOS does not have this setting it may be that it is set to this setting 'behind the scenes'.

1. The LavaPort PCI hardware must be installed with the jumper set in
one of the four positions. Please note that the jumper configures the
I/O address for Port 1 only. Port 2 is automatically configured for a
hexadecimal address 400 hex above that of Port 1.
2. In Windows95, Port 2 will always be detected as Com 5 (unless, the
jumper for Port 1 is set for Com 5 in which case Port 2 will be seen as
Com 6). If you would like Port 2 to be named Com4 instead of Com5 (some
application programs do not work beyond Com4), use the Lava Port
Redirector found in the Utils subdirectory of this disk.
