Quatech MPAP-100 user manual Auto Fallback configuration, Hot Swapping

Page 23

addr (required) The base I/O address of the MPAP-100. This number must be a three-digit hexadecimal value ending in 0.

irq (required) The interrupt level (IRQ) of the MPAP-100. This decimal number must be one of the following values: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, or 0 if no IRQ is desired.

C(optional) Drive SYNC input of SCC channel A with the Remote Loopback bit of Communications Register (see page 39). If this parameter is omitted, the SYNC input of SCC channel A will be undefined.

4.Save the CONFIG.SYS file, exit the text editor, shutdown the system, and reboot to activate the changes.

5.2.1Tying a configuration to a particular socket

A configuration can be made specific to a socket by appending "=Sx" after the closing parenthesis, where "X" is the desired socket number.

5.2.2Auto Fallback configuration

OS/2 Card Services is capable of automatically determining a configuration for a PCMCIA device, but due to limitations in Quatech's "Syncdrive" driver software, the client driver does not support this feature. This support is planned for a future release of both the client driver and Syncdrive.

5.2.3Hot Swapping

The client driver supports "hot swapping." After installation, it is not necessary for the MPAP-100 to be inserted in the PCMCIA socket at boot time. When the card is inserted, it will be configured according to the command line options. When the card is removed, the resources it used will be made available for other devices.
