Technical Notes
RocketPort 550 PCi controller
(This note DOES NOT apply to the RocketPort 550 Universal or BroadPort 550
Universal controllers)
The chip set used on the original RocketPort 550 means that each controller has a
hardware configuration which appears as two multifunction
‘parent’ devices to
Windows 2000. Each RocketPort 550 controller has two PCI DEVICE ID’s
This requires that the installation process is repeated , once for the first and once
for the second multifunction device.
Each multi-function device 'owns' a number of serial ports. One multi-function
device on a RocketPort 550 controller owns the first 4 ports, the other multi-
function device owns the remaining ports on the controller, this can be 4
(eight
port card) or 12 (16 port card) depending on the board type.
Also, note that a four port only controller still supports the second multifunction
device. It has to be installed but owns no ports.
RocketPort 550 Universal & BroadPort 550 Universal ONLY
The chipset used on the RocketPort 550 PCi Universal range leads to the
controller appearing as one multi-function parent device to Windows 2000. Each
RocketPort 550 Universal & BroadPort 550 Universal controller has a single PCI
DEVICE ID. This is similar to other PCI multiport serial cards. The installation
procedure occurs only once. The single multifunction parent device owns all the
child serial (COM) ports.
2. Windows will detect the new hardware during boot and display the
"Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog window for the first of the
multifunction devices (see previous technical note).
Note: There may be a delay while Windows detects the device.
