Normal RS-232C serial port
IrDA
Infrared Port
ASKIR
Amplitude Shift Keyed Infrared Port
RxD, TxD Active :
Consult your IR peripheral documentation to select the correct setting
of the TxD and RxD signals.
Onboard Parallel Port :
This option is used to assign the I/O address for the onboard
parallel port. The options are “378/IRQ7” (defaults), “278/IRQ7”, “3BC/IRQ7” and
“Disabled” (disable the onboard parallel port). Note: Printer port always use IRQ7
when set to “378/IRQ7” or “278/IRQ7”, or from “3BE/IRQ7” to “Enabled”.
Parallel Port Mode:
There are four options “Normal” (default), “ECP”, “ECP/EPP” and
“EPP/SPP”. Change the mode from “Normal” to the enhanced mode only if your
peripheral device can support it. When it is set to ECP mode, the printer port always
uses DMA3.

ASSWORD
The “SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD” utility sets the password. The SBC is shipped
with the password disabled. If you want to change the password, you must first enter
the current password, then at the prompt -- enter your new password. The password is
case sensitive, and can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters. Press <Enter> after you
have finished typing in the password. At the next prompt, confirm the new password by
re-typing it and pressing <Enter> again. When you are done, the screen automatically
reverts to the main screen. Remember that when you use this feature, the “Security
Option” line in BIOS FEATURES SETUP will determine when entering the password will
be required.
To disable the password
, press the <Enter> key instead of entering a new password
when the “Enter Password” in the dialog box appears. A message will appear confirming
that the password is disabled.
If you have set both supervisor and user password, only the supervisor password allows
you to enter the BIOS SETUP PROGRAM.
Note : If you forget your password, the only way to solve this problem is to discharge the
CMOS memory.
