Installation and Start-Up
Configuration of the service PC
22
All Service Programs use the RS232 port in order to communicate with the MAMMOMAT.
This port is usually handled as COM1 by the OS of the service PC. Modern PC’s can be
equipped with new types of communication hardware, e.g. infrared port and built-in
modem, which may act as COM1 or share resources with COM1. This could cause mal-
function of the Service Programs for the MAMMOMAT, which requires the OS and com-
puter BIOS to be re-configured.
The following procedures are designed to ensure general compatibility with the OS’s

95, Windows

98 and Windows

2000 Pro on modern PC’s. If the settings are
saved, this procedure has to be done only once.
Configuration of computer BIOS
22
1. Enter the BIOS setup, usually done by pressing e.g. <F2> during the boot
sequence of the BIOS.
2. Find the configuration of the IrDA (Infrared device) port and disable it.
3. Find the configuration of a built-in modem and make sure it is configured as
COM3.
4. Find the configuration of COM1 and make sure it uses the interrupt IRQ 4 and the
memory address range 03F8 - 03FF.
5. Save the BIOS settings and restart the PC.
Configuration of Windows
®
22
(This example is for Windows
®
2000 Pro. Windows
®
95 and Windows
®
98 has a similar
approach, consult the OS documentation for details.)
1. Choose Settings from the Start Menu.
2. Choose Control Panel.
3. Choose System.
4. Choose the tab Hardware.
5. Press the button Device Manager.
If the IrDA-port was disabled in the computer BIOS, it should not be present in the
list of available hardware. If the IrDA is present anyway and its icon is not marked
with a red cross:
6. Double-click on the device row.
7. Choose the tab General In the appearing dialog box.
8. In the section Device Usage, change the status to "Disabled in the current
hardware profile".
9. Exit the dialog by pressing the OK-button.
Having performed the described configurations above, the Service Program should be
able to communicate without difficulties.
