Verify the Hardware Resources
For every port of the newly installed serial interface, double-click on
the name of the serial port in the Device Manager. Then, click on the
Resources tab. If the resources were assigned correctly, the Resources
page shows which resources are assigned to your serial ports.
If Windows Me/9x did not assign any resources to the port, the Resources
page shows only a Set Configuration Manually button. Click on the Set
Configuration Manually button and try to assign conflict-free resources
to your serial hardware. For instructions, refer to the Selecting
Conflict-Free Resources section of AppendixC, Troubleshooting and
Common Questions. You might have to free an interrupt request level so
that one can be assigned to your serial hardware. For instructions, refer to
the section Freeing an Interrupt Request Level in Appendix C,
Troubleshooting and Common Questions.
When you have finished verifying the hardware resources, proceed to the
next section.
