DMC-1700/1800 Chapter 2 Getting Started • 13
Configuring the Address Jumpers on the DMC-1700
The DMC-1700 address, N, is selectable by setting the address jumpers labeled A2, A3, A4, A5, A6,
A7 and A8 where each jumper represents a digit of the binary number that is equivalent to N minus
512. Jumper A2 represents the 2
2
digit (the 3
rd
binary digit from the right), jumper A3 represents the 2
3
digit (the 4
th
binary digit from the right) and so on up to the most significant digit, which is represented
by jumper A8. The 2 least significant (rightmost) digits are not represented. A location with a jumper
placed on the board means the value of the digit represented by that jumper is 0. If the jumper is open,
the digit is 1.
Because the least significant digit represented by the Address Jumpers is the 2
2
digit (jumper A2), only
addresses divisible by 4 are configurable on the DMC-1700. The DMC-1700 can be configured for
any 4
th
address between 512 and 1024. To configure an address you must do the following:
1. Select an address, N, between 512 and 1024, divisible by 4. Example: 516
2. Subtract 512 from N. Example: 516 – 512 = 4
3. Convert the resultant number into a 9-digit binary number being sure to represent all
leading zeros. Using our example: Converting 4 to binary results in 100. As a 9-digit
binary number, this is represented by 000000100.
4. Truncate the 2 least significant (rightmost) digits. Example: 0000001.
5. Set the jumpers as described above. Again, jumper at the location is represented by a 0,
while no jumper at the location represents a 1.
To simplify this task, there is a complete list of jumper settings for the DMC-1700 found in the
appendix in the section Setting Addresses for the DMC-1700.
Step 3. Install the Communications Software
Before installing the controller in the PC, Galil communications software terminal and drivers should
be loaded. Installing the Galil software prior to installing the card will allow most operating system to
automatically install the DMC-1800 (PCI) controller into both the Windows and Galil registries.
Using Win98SE, ME, NT4.0, 2000, and XP
Install the Galil Software Products CD-ROM into your CD drive. A Galil .htm page should
automatically appear with links to the software products. Select “DMCSmartTerm” and click
“Install…” Follow the installation procedure as outlined.
Using DOS:
Using the Galil Software CD-ROM, go to the directory, D:\July2000 CD\DMCDOS\Disk1. Type
"INSTALL" at the DOS prompt and follow the directions.
Using Windows 3.x (16 bit versions):
Using the Galil Software CD ROM, go to the directory, D:\July2000 CD\DMCWIN. Select
DMCWIN16.exe and follow the directions.
Using Windows 95, 98(first edition):
Using the Galil Software CD ROM, go to the directory, D:\July2000 CD\DMCWIN. Select
DMCWIN32.exe and follow the directions.
