2.1ISI Card Installation

This chapter provides you with the procedures to install the Multi-Tech ISI551PC card in your ISA or EISA bus personal computer.

Hardware installation involves:

1)Opening your PC.

2)Setting card configuration (determining I/O address DIP-Switch setting and IRQ jumper setting).

3)Installing the card into the PC.

2.2Determining Current System Settings

When you install a serial device into your computer, the processor must have a means of routing information to and from the device and the device must have a means of gaining the processor's attention. These are called Input/Output (I/O) addresses and Interrupt Requests (IRQs), respectively. The ISI551PC card requires eight I/O addresses and one IRQ value which are not used by any other device in your system. When selecting a unique base I/O address, be sure that the other addresses are also unused. (For example, if you
