A window will now appear with the headings
RESOURCE
TYPE
and
SETTING
. The settings shown are probably wrong.
Do not worry we will change them later. Click
NEXT
.
Another window will appear. Click on
FINISH
.
6.
You will now see a
SYSTEMS SETTINGS CHANGE
window
prompting you to reboot the machine and since the settings
are wrong click
NO
. If you have more Echo serial ports to
add you should repeat steps 4 - 6 until you have enough
additional new COM ports installed.

You now go to the
SYSTEM PROPERTIES
menu by clicking
on the
SYSTEM
icon in the
CONTROL PANEL
. Click on the
DEVICE MANAGER
tab. A list of devices will appear. Click on
PORTS (COM & LPT)
and it will expand showing all the ports.
Choose the new COM port just created. Click on
PROPERTIES
(double clicking the COM port will also bring up
PROPERTIES
). This is where we tell Windows 95 about the
settings for the Echo adapter.

You should now have a
COMMUNICATIONS PORT (COM??)

settings we want to change. There are three steps to follow:
8.1.
First select

in the

BASED ON
area.
8.2.
We now need to change the
INPUT/OUTPUT RANGE
under
the
RESOURCE TYPE
heading, so double click there. A
new window will appear and this is where you can enter
the Echo I/O port address (Example 200-207) or use the
UP/DOWN arrows of the dialog box to find one to
select. Click
OK
.
8.3.
We now need to change the
INTERRUPT REQUEST
under
the
RESOURCE TYPE
heading, so double click there. A
new window will appear and you can now enter the IRQ
of you Echo card (example IRQ 10) or use the
