Windows 95/98 Installation
Once Windows 95/98 system has been started, the plug & play function in
95/98 system will find the new serial communication card. If this is the first
time to install serial communication card in your Windows 95/98 system,
you will be informed to install the driver. Please follow the instruction
message to input the COM port number starting value for the first and
second cards.
Because the resource will be assigned by PCI BIOS, it is not easy to check
which card is first or second from resource. So the switch will play the role
for system to fix the COM port number for each card.
After you had installed the driver, you might be informed to have new
hardware found. You do not have to install the driver again, Windows
95/98 will add the COM port automatically.
1.
You can install up to two cPCI-3534/3538 cards in one 95/98
system.
2.
When you need to install two same type cards in one 95/98 system,
you must confirm to let one card’s switch is ON, and the other
card’s switch is OFF.
3.
The card with switch ON will have COM port number assigned for
first card. The card with switch OFF will have COM port number
assigned for second card.
4.
If you install two the same type serial communication cards with
switch ON or OFF simultaneously, we can not confirm that both
cards will active properly.
5.
If you install multiple cards in one 95/98 system simultaneously,
please confirm that the COM port number assigned does not
overlap for different card. Or you may have improperly operation in
your system.
6.
For easy to maintain 95/98 system’s COM port number, we suggest
that you must set the switch ON for the first card to be installed in
95/98 system.
7.
The serial communication card can be used in interrupt shared
mode. PCI BIOS will assign IRQ for each serial communication
card. For multi-card application, we can just share one IRQ in each
card, but you must confirm that one system may have minimum
one IRQ left for P&P function. If there are no IRQ left to be
