drive letter followed by a colon and [ENTER] (if you are keeping it on a copy of the original diskette) or the hard-disk letter followed by a colon, a backslash, the subdirectory name, and [ENTER] (if you’re keeping it on the hard drive).

c)At the next DOS prompt, run the Emulator’s diagnostic program by typing

emdiag [ENTER]

A copyright screen appears, prompting you to press [ENTER] to continue. Then a diagnostic screen appears, showing the PC I/O addresses the Card supports. Use the cursor to highlight the address you want to test-run, then press [ENTER].

d)If this test fails for the given address, there might be a conflict for that address that you’re not aware of. Check the address settings of the PC’s I/O components again, carefully, and try setting the Card to use a different address. If the test fails for any address you try, you probably have a bad Card. See Section 9.4.

e)If this test is successful, the program prompts you to let it do a modem-loopback test. Select “N”; the program ends.

For remote operation (connection to host across modem link): Across EIA RS-232D/CCITT V.24 interface: Straight-through- pinned DB44 male to DB25 female (product code EHN061-

0020);

Across CCITT X.21 interface: Straight-through-pinned DB44 male to DB15 female (product code EHN060-0020);
