Common Problems

Identifying the 232PCC2

The 232PCC2 when installed shows up as a DSP-100.

Generic Client Drivers Generic Client Drivers

Many Card and Socket Services packages include a generic client driver (or SuperClient) that configures standard I/O devices. If one of these generic client drivers is installed, it may configure the 232PCC2 causing the 232PCC2 client driver to fail installation. In these cases, the user should do one of the following:

•Modify the operation of the generic client driver to disable the configuration of modem/serial port cards. Consult the Card and Socket Services documentation for availability and details of this feature.

•Place the 232PCC2 client driver before the generic client driver in the CONFIG.SYS.

Available Resources

One function of the Card and Socket Services software is to track which system resources (memory addresses, I/O addresses, IRQs, etc.) are available for assignment to inserted PCMCIA cards. Sometimes, however, the Card Services software assumes or incorrectly determines that a particular resource is used when it is actually available. Most Card and Socket Services generate a resource table in a file (typically in the form of an .INI file) that the user can modify to adjust the available system resources. Consult the Card and Socket Services documentation for availability and details of this feature.

Multiple Configuration Attempts

Some Card and Socket Services have a setting that aborts the configuration process after a single configuration failure (such as a requesting an unavailable resource). The user should change this setting to allow for multiple configuration attempts. Consult Card and Socket Services documentation for availability and feature details.

Older Versions of Card and Socket Services

Some versions of Card and Socket Services dated before 1993 do not support general-purpose I/O cards. If, after careful installation of the Client Driver, the 232PCC2 does not configure or operate properly, an updated version of Card and Socket Services may be required.
