IRQ Information

The IRQ choice is not user selectable for the PCI type of cards.
The system dynamically assigns an IRQ to our card at boot time.

In a given system:
All the IntelliPort-III PCI cards will share an IRQ.
All the non-PCI IntelliPort-III cards will share an IRQ.
IntelliPort-III PCI and non-PCI cards will use different IRQ's.


I/O address range
The IntelliPort-III uses 8 bytes of I/O address space starting
at this address.

This field is user assignable only for the ISA type of controllers.

For  PCI type of controllers the I/O address is dynamically
 assigned by the PCI BIOS when the system boots.


Bus Type
This field determines if a board is installed and
what type of expansion bus it has

Current selections include

None	(select None when removing a card)
PCI	(select when installing an IntelliPort-III PCI card)
ISA	(select when installing an IntelliPort-III ISA card)


Number of Ports installed
This field determines the total number of ports
installed for each board.

The value defaults to 0 for a newly installed board.

During installation you must enter a non-zero
value in this field for each installed board (those
with Bus Type other than  "None").

Valid choices are 4, 8, 16, 24 , 32, 40, 48, 56, and 64


Device Name Suffix
This is the starting number used for the unique
registry device name for all IntelliPort-III ports.

The name will be of the form  serial##
where  ##  is the number assigned to a
specific port.

The IntelliPort-III ports will be numbered consecutively
starting with this number.


Logical Name suffix
This is the starting number used to create the logical
device name for all IntelliPort-III port.

The name will be of the form  COM##
where  ##  is the number assigned to a
specific port.

The IntelliPort-III ports will be numbered consecutively
starting with this number.

Note: This is the name most applications will use to
access the ports.  Some applications can not access
ports beyond COM9.  Other applications may need
to specify the device name in the form  \\.\COM##\
where  ##  is the number of the desired COM port.
