•Reboot the system and note the message displayed when the 232PCC2 Client Driver is loaded. If the Client Driver reports an "invalid command line option", correct the entry in the CONFIG.SYS file and reboot the system again. If the Client Driver reports "Card and Socket Services not found", a version of Card and Socket Services must be installed on the system or the 232PCC2 Enabler program must be used to configure the adapter. If the Client Driver reports the desired adapter configuration, the installation process is complete and the 232PCC2 may be removed and / or inserted from the system as desired. On each insertion into the PCMCIA socket, the 232PCC2 will be automatically re-configured according to the command line options.

Command Line Options

The 232PCC2 Client Driver accepts up to eight command line arguments from the user to determine the configuration of the 232PCC2. If any arguments are provided, the Client Driver will attempt to configure any 232PCC2s with the options specified in the order they are entered on the command line. Each argument must be enclosed in parenthesis and must be separated from other arguments by a space on the command line. Within each argument, any or all of the following parameters may be specified using a comma (no spaces) to separate each parameter:

Baddress specifies the base I/O address of the 232PCC2 in hexadecimal and must reside on an even 16-byte (10H) boundary. This option must be omitted if using the Dmode option. If both the Dmode and Baddress option are omitted, Card and Socket Services will assign a block mode base address.

Dmode

specifies a COM mode base I/O address configuration

 

for the 232PCC2. The D1 option configures the

 

232PCC2at COM1/COM3 (3F8/3E8), and the D2

 

option configures the 232PCC2 at COM2/COM4

 

(2F8/2E8). This option must be omitted if using the

 

Baddress option. If both the Dmode and Baddress

 

options are omitted, Card and Socket Services will

 

assign a block mode base address.
