1. Before you begin
V1.10 and above of the DOS sample software supports the original
RocketPort/BroadPort 550 range, the RocketPort/BroadPort 550 Universal range and
the new BroadPort 550 Universal RS422 SMPTE cards.
When this document refers to RocketPort/BroadPort 550 it is relevant to the
RocketPort/BroadPort 550, the RocketPort/BroadPort 550 Universal controller and
the BroadPort 550 cards. If the text is relevant to only one controller type then the
reference will be to the ‘RocketPort/BroadPort 550 Universal’ , ‘original
RocketPort/BroadPort 550’ or BroadPort 550.
The MS DOS sample source code for the RocketPort/BroadPort 550 is supplied as a
self extract file.
The sample source code is intended for use with standard MS DOS. It can also be
used in a DOS session under Windows 9x. It will work with a single
RocketPort/BroadPort 550 controller, however developers are free to modify the code
for operation with multiple RocketPort/BroadPort 550 cards.
This software’s primary purpose is to assist DOS developers in the porting of their
existing Hostess 450/550 register level driver software to the RocketPort/BroadPort
550.
The sample source, as supplied, builds a simple application called ‘TERM’EXE’.
NOTE: The DOS sample source code accesses the RocketPort/BroadPort 550
controller at the register I/O level. Executable code produced using these techniques
cannot be used under Windows NT, XP or 2000.
2. Extracting the driver files to the PC’s hard disk
Terminology means press the enter key.
The term ‘directory’ will be used which is synonymous with a Windows ‘folder’
The following assumes that you are running MS DOS or a DOS session under Windows 9x. If
running under Windows, then you may, of course, use Windows Explorer to create a working folder and
copy/paste files.

Software installation documentation is available. Rocket Port 550 Sample MS-DOS I/O application
**************************
1.0 Introduction
================
This software comprises a sample MS DOS I/O application called TERM.EXE,
including 'C' source code for the RocketPort 550 PCi controller range.
Supported controllers
---------------------
One of the following
ORIGINAL ROCKETPORT 550 PCi
===========================
RocketPort 550 PCi 4 RJ45
RocketPort 550 PCi 4 Quadcable
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 RJ11
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 Octacable
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 (used with RocketPort I/F box)
RocketPort 550 PCi 16 (used with RocketPort I/F box)
ROCKETPORT 550 PCI UNIVERSAL (including Low Profile versions)
=============================================================
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 Universal Low Profile (used with RocketPort I/F box)
RocketPort 550 PCi 16 Universal Low Profile (used with RocketPort I/F box)
RocketPort 550 PCi 4 Universal RJ45
RocketPort 550 PCi 4 Universal QUAD ( Low Profile aka mini )
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 Universal OCTA
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 Universal RJ11
RocketPort 550 PCi 16 Universal SMPTE (16 x RS422)
The code consists of I/O modules that provide a driver level interface to
the hardware including interrupt handler and PCI Bios routines supporting
a simple application that operates in a similar manner to the 'TERM' program
that ships with the original ISA base Hostess card MS DOS driver.
The modules are built into an MS DOS .EXE program also called 'TERM'.
This sample code is designed for use under true MS-DOS. It has been
tested with MS DOS version 6.2
===============================================
Notes on use under MS Windows 9x
It has undergone some testing within an MS Windows 95 (retail version only)
DOS session and appears to operate satisfactorily.
A generic INF file has thus been provided to handle the PCI card bus enumeration.
In order to 'see' the controllers under Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98, the
generic INF file can be used with the 'Add new hardware' wizard to enumerate
the card.
However no guarantees are made regarding operation of the sample
I/O application under MS Windows 95 or 98 as the software is intended for use
under true MS DOS.
If true MS DOS is not available and problems are encountered with a Windows
95/98 DOS session, then it is suggested that the PC is shutdown to MS DOS
mode or shutdown and rebooted to console operation (ie press F8 just as the
starting Windows 9x message appears and select console boot).
This software performs direct register I/O and so cannot be used
under an MS windows NT console session.
**************************
1.0 Introduction
================
This software comprises a sample MS DOS I/O application called TERM.EXE,
including 'C' source code for the RocketPort 550 PCi controller range.
Supported controllers
---------------------
One of the following
ORIGINAL ROCKETPORT 550 PCi
===========================
RocketPort 550 PCi 4 RJ45
RocketPort 550 PCi 4 Quadcable
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 RJ11
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 Octacable
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 (used with RocketPort I/F box)
RocketPort 550 PCi 16 (used with RocketPort I/F box)
ROCKETPORT 550 PCI UNIVERSAL (including Low Profile versions)
=============================================================
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 Universal Low Profile (used with RocketPort I/F box)
RocketPort 550 PCi 16 Universal Low Profile (used with RocketPort I/F box)
RocketPort 550 PCi 4 Universal RJ45
RocketPort 550 PCi 4 Universal QUAD ( Low Profile aka mini )
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 Universal OCTA
RocketPort 550 PCi 8 Universal RJ11
RocketPort 550 PCi 16 Universal SMPTE (16 x RS422)
The code consists of I/O modules that provide a driver level interface to
the hardware including interrupt handler and PCI Bios routines supporting
a simple application that operates in a similar manner to the 'TERM' program
that ships with the original ISA base Hostess card MS DOS driver.
The modules are built into an MS DOS .EXE program also called 'TERM'.
This sample code is designed for use under true MS-DOS. It has been
tested with MS DOS version 6.2
===============================================
Notes on use under MS Windows 9x
It has undergone some testing within an MS Windows 95 (retail version only)
DOS session and appears to operate satisfactorily.
A generic INF file has thus been provided to handle the PCI card bus enumeration.
In order to 'see' the controllers under Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98, the
generic INF file can be used with the 'Add new hardware' wizard to enumerate
the card.
However no guarantees are made regarding operation of the sample
I/O application under MS Windows 95 or 98 as the software is intended for use
under true MS DOS.
If true MS DOS is not available and problems are encountered with a Windows
95/98 DOS session, then it is suggested that the PC is shutdown to MS DOS
mode or shutdown and rebooted to console operation (ie press F8 just as the
starting Windows 9x message appears and select console boot).
This software performs direct register I/O and so cannot be used
under an MS windows NT console session.
