a user defined configuration (Enabled), or by allowing the BIOS or

 

Auto

 

OS to choose the configuration (Auto).

 

 

 

 

 

Base I/O Address/IRQ:

3F8/IRQ 4

[3F8/IRQ 4]

Allows user to set the serial port base I/O address and interrupt

 

2F8/IRQ 3

 

request when serial port is Enabled.

 

3E8/IRQ 4

 

 

 

2E8/IRQ 3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Infrared Port:

Disabled

[Enabled]

Configures the infrared port using either no configuration (Dis-

Base I/O Address/IRQ:

3F8/IRQ 4

[2E8/IRQ 3]

Allows user to set the infrared port I/O address and interrupt

 

2F8/IRQ 3

 

request when the infrared port is Enabled.

2E8/IRQ 3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DMA Channel:

DMA 1

[DMA 3]

Allows user to set the infrared port DMA Channel when the infra-

 

DMA 3

 

red port is Enabled.

nected parallel device. Output Only (Half Duplex) allows informa-

 

 

 

 

tion to be transferred in only one direction, from your notebook to

 

 

 

 

the printer or similar device. ECP Mode allows communication

 

 

 

 

with the ECP class of parallel I/O devices.

 

 

 

 

 

Base I/O address:

378

[378]

Allows user to set the parallel port base I/O address when the par-

 

278

 

allel port is Enabled.

 

3BC
