The "/com#" switch indicates what COM port you want your
Serial Card to be set up on. If you want COM4 instead of
COM2, you would use the following:
ENABLE /com4 /sA /MD000
The "/s" switch indicates which PCMCIA slot contains your
Serial Card. If you wanted slot B instead of slot A, you would
use the following:
ENABLE /com2 /sB /MD000
(On machines with more than one slot, there is no standard way
to distinguish which port will be A and which will be B. Usually
they are not labeled. You may need to find out through trial and
error.)
The "/M" switch indicates what memory window the ENABLE
program will use for communication with your Serial Card. The
four-character number following the /M is a hexadecimal
address. If you have a memory conflict at the default D000
range, you could change it to something else. For example, if
you wanted D800, you would enter:
ENABLE /com2 /sA /MD800
3.
If you are not using an expanded memory manager such as
EMM386.SYS, skip to step 4. If you are using an expanded
memory manager such as EMM386.SYS, you must exclude the
memory range you specified in step 2. (Each expanded
memory manager has a command line switch that allows you to
exclude a range of memory addresses from the memory
manager's control. See your memory manager documentation
for the exact form of the command line switch.) If you used the
default D000 in step 2, you must exclude the range D000-D3FF;
if you used D800, you must exclude D800-DBFF, etc.
If you are using an expanded memory manager before you run
Microsoft Windows, you must also add an "EMMExclude" line to
the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file to inform
Windows of the excluded range. For example:
NOTE: Putting the above line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file will
cause the Enable program to run each time you reboot or turn
your PC on. Do not add this line if Card and Socket Service
programs are being used.
