PCI LPT & RS232
Software Guide
Chapter 3 Page 31
IRQ, Range.
/I 11,5-6
11 is the IRQ and since the COM port range is COM5 COM6
range is entered as 5-6.
Number Buffer.
/B6
Six buffers are defined, though only four ports are in use this is
because buffers in DOS are assigned in a sequential order from
COM1. Since the PG LPT & RS232 has been assigned COM port
values of 5 to 6, all preceding COM ports, must have buffers
assigned to them also.
Buffer Size.
/S512
Buffer size set to 512 bytes.
Hardware Handshaking.
/H,4
Type 4, 3 Wire Handshake selected for all ports. Type 4, 3 Wire
Handshake selected for all ports.
Modifying Command Line Parameters.
When "assembled" the NEWCOM.SYS command line looks like...
DEVICE=NEWCOM.SYS /A5-6,0140 A 11,5-6 /B8 /S 512 /H,4
... and should be entered into the CONFIG.SYS file. Once you are
sure that these parameters have been entered correctly, restart your
PC and your PCI LPT & RS232 should be ready to use
immediately.
Sample terminal applications are provided on "Serial Solutions
Disk 1 & 2" enabling communications to be established to your
peripherals quickly and easily.
