Some of the information you need is displayed on this screen next to the
corresponding category. To see additional information for any of the categories, point
to the category name and click the left mouse button.
3. Verify the processor type (386, 486, etc.) shown to the right of the Computer
category. To view additional Computer category detail, point to Computer and click
the left mouse button. A 486 or higher PC is required.
4. Verify the Random Access Memory (RAM) shown the right of the Memory category.
A system with eight (8) Mb of RAM might display the following: 640K, 7168K Ext,
1024 XMS). To view additional Memory category detail, point to Memory and click
the left mouse button. Eight (8) Mb of RAM or more is required.
5. Verify the amount of hard disk space by pointing to Disk Drives and clicking the left
mouse button. The total space and available space on disk drives is shown on the
screen. Drive C is typically the drive used for installing the MERLIN LEGEND
Reporter software. The available hard drive space required is 85 Mb.
6. Verify the PC monitory by pointing to Video and clicking the left mouse button. The
video information is shown on the screen. A VGA color monitor is required.
7. Verify the mouse type shown to the right of the Mouse category. To view additional
Mouse category detail, point to Mouse and click the left mouse button. Either a PS/2
or Bus mouse is desirable because neither causes IRQ conflicts with serial ports. If a
serial mouse is connected, see Appendix E of this guide for additional information.
8. Verify the number of communications ports (COM ports) shown to the right of the
Comport category. Two (2) COM ports are required.
It is possible to have two COM ports (also referred to as serial ports or EIA
ports) and still encounter problems. The COM ports may already be used for
another function (for example, internal or external modems). Refer to
Appendix E of this guide for additional information, if needed.
9. Search for IRQ (interrupt request) conflicts by pointing to IRQ Status and clicking the
left mouse button. Typically, sixteen IRQs are shown on the screen with assignments
for each.
Make a note of the IRQs used for the MERLIN LEGEND Reporter (typically COM
ports 1 and 2). Some potential conflicts include: COM ports 3 and 4 may share IRQs
with COM ports 1 and 2, or a serial mouse may share an IRQ with COM port 1 or 2.
(typically IRQs 3 and 4) cannot be used by any other function.
Some Network Interface cards (NIC) are not detected by MSD. In many cases, an
NIC is assigned to IRQs above 5, while COM ports are often assigned IRQs 3 and 4
(that is, no conflict). However, if an NIC is present and you cannot gather call
records, it may be necessary to determine which IRQ the NIC uses.
