Getting Started with CAN for Windows NT
Figure 2-5. CAN Interface That Is Working Properly
To select a particular interface, click on that interface in the list.
When you install a PCI-CAN interface, your computer automatically
assigns valid resources to it. Because this resource assignment is automatic,
you do not need to use the Resources dialog box for the PCI-CAN, and you
do not need to restart Windows NT.
When you install a PCMCIA-CAN interface, your computer assigns
default resources to it. Because the default resources may conflict with
other devices in your system, you must use the Resources dialog box to
select valid resources for the PCMCIA-CAN. Figure 2-6 shows the
Resources dialog box for the PCMCIA-CAN.
