Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 44)

in an active slot when you first install the Apple IIe Card software.
Note: The illustrations in this section show how to change settings in the
Serial Card for the modem port. The steps are exactly the same for changing
the settings in the Serial Card for the printer port.
To change the settings, follow these steps:
1. To open the Option Panel, press Control-Command-Esc.
The Option Panel appears, with the General Controls panel displayed.
2. Scroll if necessary to locate the Serial Card icon representing the port
your device is plugged into.
If the device you want to configure is plugged into the modem port, click the
modem port icon; if the device is plugged into the printer port, click the
printer port icon. Remember, if the device is a printer, you should be using
the Printer Card, not a Serial Card.
Warning message? If you get a message telling you the Serial Card is not
installed, you can continue with this section, but changing the settings will
not have any effect until you install the Serial Card in an active slot, as
explained in "Changing the Slot Settings," later in this chapter.
3. Click the button for the device you want to assign to this Serial Card.
Clicking either of the top two buttons -- Apple Data Modem 2400 or Apple
Personal Modem 1200 -- automatically sets the Serial Card parameters. If you
click the Other Device button, the Port Characteristics box in the lower
portion of the panel becomes active.
Use this part of the panel to select the settings required by the device
you're connecting. (See the manual that came with the device for the
appropriate settings.)
4. For each setting you want to change, position the pointer over the small
triangle to the right of the setting, and then press the mouse button.
A pop-up menu of settings appears with the current setting highlighted.
5. Drag through the menu until the setting you want is highlighted, then
release the mouse button.
The setting you choose appears in the box.
6. Click the Restart IIe button to restart the Apple IIe Card.
The Apple IIe Card restarts, with the new slot settings in effect.
If you don't want the new settings to take effect yet, click the Continue
button.
!! WARNING: Be sure to save your work on a floppy disk before clicking the
Restart IIe button. Any work that has not been saved on a disk will be lost.
