Board Setup
COM-2(PCI), COM-4(PCI), COM-8(PCI)

Notes!
- The second board cannot be properly installed unless the
resources (I/O addresses and interrupt level) for the board can
be allocated. Before attempting to install the second board,
first determine what PC resources are free to use.
- The resources used by each board do not depend on the
location of the PCI bus slot or the board itself. If you remove
two or more boards that have already been installed and then
remount one of them on the computer, it is unknown that which
one of the sets of resources previously assigned to the two
boards is assigned to the remounted board. In this case, you
must check the resource settings.
Checking resources
Follow the steps below to check the assigned resources managed by
the OS.
(1) Double-click on the [System] option in [Control Panel] to open
the [System Properties] property sheet. Select the [Device
Manager] tab.
(2) Click [Multi-function adapters] folder.
(3) Click [CONTEC Co., Ltd.-COM-x(PCI)] folder to display its
properties.
(4) Select the [Resources] tab to check the device type, resource
settings, and the conflicting device list.
Precautions when using the API-SIO(98/PC)W95 bundled with
the API-PAC(W32):
To use the API-SIO(98/PC)W95 after installing the
hardware, install the API-SIO(98/PC)W95 from the
API-PAC(W32) and then run Config.exe.
API-SIO(98/PC)W95 can be used by a system's restarting after
choose [Tool] > [API-SIO] and set up board to use.
However, the board and another board can't used as standard COM
such as Hyper Terminal using API-SIO(98/PC)W95.
The API-SIO(98/PC)W95 cannot be used simultaneously
with another allocated standard COM.
