Installation and Operation Guide
* Actual configuration may vary.
** If connector is present. Note it is possible to use a serial mouse on a COM port that is not sharing an IRQ.
*** Please note that COM1/COM3 and COM2/COM4 share IRQs so try to avoid IRQ conflicts. Some installations may share an IRQ between the touchscreen and the
modem, but only one may be in use at a time. Most installations performed by Audio Authority will use separate IRQs so all devices can be used at once if the hardware
configuration is possible.
