Using NECCSD Utilities 2-13
NOTE
When an option is selected for one serial
port, that selection is not available for the second
port.
Parallel Port
Selectable parameters for this field are Disabled,
Enabled (default), and Auto. The parallel port device
can be auto detected by choosing Auto. When Auto is
selected, the first free LPT port is assigned. Setting this
field to Auto enables the device, but the BIOS does not
place its resources unless the “PnP OS” field described
previously is set to “No.”
Select Enabled if you want to choose a specific address.
The following options become available:
Mode
Choices include: “ECP” for setting the parallel port
to the Enhanced Capabilities Port (ECP) mode,
“Disabled,” “Output Only,” and “Bi-directional”
(sets the parallel port to input/output mode only).
The default setting is “Bi-directional.”
Base I/O address
Available addresses include “378h” (the default),
“3BCh,” and “278h.”
Interrupt
Available IRQs include “IRQ5” and “IRQ7” (the
default).
