Peripherals Menu Options

same information is also available in the topic titled
“Peripherals Menu” in the online System User’s Guide.
Integrated Peripherals

Serial Port
SERIAL PORT lets you map the address of the serial port
to avoid address conflicts with other devices or disable
the port for security. The default setting is
COM1 . Other
possible settings are DISABLED , COM2 , COM3 , COM4 , and
AUTO .
If you are using Windows 95 and this option is set to
AUTO , the operating system can remap the port automati-
cally to avoid address conflicts with other devices. If any
other setting is used, this automatic mapping does not
occur.
If you are using Windows 3.x and this option is set to AUTO ,
the serial port is automatically set to the default, COM1 .
When mapping the serial port, be careful not to create a
conflict with the infrared port. Table 2-1 shows the avail-
able serial port mappings.
