Advantech PCA-6359 user manual Password Setting, Onboard Parallel Port 378H/IRQ7, ECP Mode Use DMA

3.10.10 Onboard Parallel Port (378H/IRQ7)

This field sets the address of the on-board parallel port connector. You can select either 3BCH/IRQ7, 378H/IRQ7, 278H/IRQ5 or Disabled. If you install an I/O card with a parallel port, make sure there is no conflict in the address assignments. The PCA-6359 Series can support up to three parallel ports, as long as there are no conflicts for each port.

3.10.11 Parallel Port Mode (ECP + EPP)

This field allows you to set the operation mode of the parallel port. The setting “Normal” allows normal speed operation, but in one direction only. “EPP” allows bidirectional parallel port operation at maximum speed. “ECP” allows the parallel port to operate in bidirec- tional mode and at a speed faster than the maximum data transfer rate. “ECP + EPP” allows normal speed operation in a two-way mode.

3.10.12 ECP Mode Use DMA

This selection is available only if you select “ECP” or “ECP + EPP” in the Parallel Port Mode field. In ECP Mode Use DMA, you can select DMA channel 1, DMA channel 3, or Disable. Leave this field on the default setting.

Note:	If you enable the IDE HDD block mode, the en-
	hanced IDE driver will be enabled.
