NOTES:
1. You must specifically select either UTP (10BaseT, using RJ-45 connectors) or BNC (10Base2).
2. Although the Boot ROM is disabled, do not use address D000h. We have found the Boot ROM if installed on the cards will sometimes
interfere with the CTI card even though the Boot ROM is disabled. Alternative ROM addresses available are C800h or D400h.
3. Alternative I/O Base addresses available are 320 and 360. Before using address 360, check that the parallel port is not assigned to ad-
dress 378.
4. Alternative Interrupt is 5.
