Start Channel Number Option
The S)tart Channel # option is used to specify the beginning channel number for all IPC-1600 provided ports. Each IPC-1600 port in the system is assigned a number that distinguishes it from the other ports in the system. These channel numbers are used by the driver and INT 14h calls. Selecting the starting channel number specifies the range of numbers the communications ports will use. The standard MS-DOS COM1 and COM2 ports use channel numbers 0 and 1. The default starting channel number for the first IPC-1600 port is 4.
The following screen display shows how to specify the starting channel number.
