Find the available serial ports
Since Linux only support 4 serial ports (ttyS0, ttyS1, ttyS2, ttyS3) under the default condition. Most likely, ttyS0 & ttyS1 are supported by mother board's built-in serial controllers and ttyS2 & ttyS3 are free for additional I/O card.
Serial ports could be checked by the following commands.
setserial  /dev/ttyS0 -a 		(COM-1)setserial  /dev/ttyS1 -a 		(COM-2)
setserial  /dev/ttyS2 -a 		(COM-3)setserial  /dev/ttyS3 -a 		(COM-4)
If COM-1 is used by mouse, the response is similar to
/dev/ttyS0 : Device or resource busy    
If the COM-1 does not attach any device, the response is similar to 
/dev/ttyS0, Line 0, 	UART: 16550A, Port: 0x3f8, irq: 4
                 	Baud_base: 115200, clos_delay: 50, divisor: 0
                 	closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinite
                 	Flags: spd_normal skip_test
In case ttyS2 (COM-3) is free, the response for command  setserial /dev/ttyS2 -a is shown below.
/dev/ttyS2, Line 2, 	UART: unknown, Port: 0x3e8, irq: 4
                     	Baud_base: 115200, clos_delay: 50, divisor: 0
                     	closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinite
                     	Flags: spd_normal skip_test
Find the PCI card resource ( I/O port address & IRQ) for the serial ports
Enter the command  more  /proc/pciThe response is similar to the following      
			Bus 0, Device 11, function 0:
			Serial controller : Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 01).

			I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801]	device 4
From the  /proc/pci file, it is possible to find the PCI card's I/O port address and IRQ. Especially, the NetMos parts always shows
			Vendor id=9710, Device id=9735					Device id=9745					Device id=9835
					Device id=9845	Configure the parameters for ttyS2 or ttyS3
Enter (if ttyS2 or ttyS3 are free)
           setserial  /dev/ttyS2 port 0xc000 UART 16550A
                       irq 11 Baud_base 115200
           setserial  /dev/ttyS3 port 0xc008 UART 16550A
                       irq 11 Baud_base 115200
Check the setting for ttyS2 or ttyS3Type setserial  /dev/ttyS2 -a
      			/dev/ttyS2, Line 2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0xc000, irq: 11
                 	Baud_base: 115200, clos_delay: 50, divisor: 0
                 	closing_wait: 3000, closing_wait2: infinite
                 	Flags: spd_normal skip_test
The ttyS2 or ttyS3 are ready for application
