A standard DMS i1000 Module is wired to communicate

with the LCR network on COM2, IRQ3, at a baud rate of

19200, therefore select

COM2 and press ENTER. This will

open another list box window. The new list box window is

for selecting the

IRQ used by the port. This list box window

contains interrupt request (IRQ) values between
