Choose an IRQ for your Echo. It is possible to have the even
ports on one IRQ and the odd ports on a different IRQ, but
we recommend having all ports on one IRQ. Good choices of
IRQ's are 5, 10, 11, 12 and 15. The two serial ports that
come with your system usually use IRQ 4, 3 and LPT1 is
usually IRQ 7. Please refer to the Table showing typical IRQ
usage in
Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
. For our
example we will choose IRQ 10.
Figure 17
shows the
example IRQ setting. Please refer to
Figures 2,
or

in
Chapter 1: Introduction
for the location of the jumper block
