Onboard Serial Port1
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request ( IRQ
) for the onboard serial port1 ( COM1 ).
Ø
The choice: Disabled, 3F8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3,
or Auto.
Onboard Infrared Port
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request ( IRQ
) for the onboard infrared port.
Ø
The choice: Disabled, 3F8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3,
or Auto.
UART Mode Select
This field is available if the Onboard Serial Port 2 field is set to any option
but disabled. UART Mode Select enables you to select the infrared com-
munication protocol-Normal ( default ), IrDA, or ASKIR. IrDA is an infra-
red communication protocol with a maximum baud rate up to 115.2K
bps. ASKIR is Sharp's infrared communication protocol with a maximum
baud rate up to 57.6K bps.
Ø
The choice: SCR, IrDA, or ASKIR .
UR2 Duplex Mode
This item is available when UART 2 mode is set to either ASKIR or
IrDA. This item enables you to determin the infrared function of the
onboard infrared chip. The options are Full and Half ( default ).
Full-duplex means that you can transmit and send information simulta-
neously. Half-duplex is the transmission of data in both directions, but
only one direction at a time.
Ø
The choice: Full or Half.
Onboard Parallel Port
This item allows you to determine onboard parallel port controller I/O
address and interrupt request ( IRQ ).
Ø
The choice:: 378/IRQ7, 278/IRQ5, 3BC/IRQ7, or Disabled.
Parallel Port Mode
Select an operating mode for the onboard parallel (printer) port. Select
Normal, Compatible, or SPP unless you are certain your hardware and
software both support one of the other available modes.
Ø
The choice: SPP, EPP, ECP, or ECP+EPP.
