Serial Ports
The PCA-6143P offers two serial ports: one RS-232 and one
RS-232/422/485. These ports let you connect to serial devices (a
mouse, printers, etc.) or a communication network.
You can select the address for each port (3F8H [COM1], 2F8H
[COM2] or 3E8H) or disable it, through the BIOS Advanced Setup
program, covered in Chapter 5.
The card mounting bracket holds the serial port connectors. This
lets you connect and disconnect cables after you install the card.
The DB-9 connector on the top of the bracket is the RS-232 port.
The second DB-9 connector is the RS-232/422/485 port. The
following sections tell how to make RS-232 and RS-232/422/485
connections.
RS-232 connections
Different devices implement the RS-232 standard in different
ways. If you are having problems with a serial device, be sure to
check the pin assignments for the connector. The following table
shows the pin assignments for the card's RS-232 port:
