lets you map the address of the infrared port to
avoid address conflicts with other devices. The default
setting is
DISABLED
. Other possible settings are
COM1
,
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 set this option to
COM3
, and
set the
SERIAL PORT
option to
DISABLED
,
COM2
, or
COM4
.
When mapping the infrared port, be careful not to create
a conflict with the serial port. Table 2-2 shows the avail-
able infrared port mappings.
