Each COM: port in the system should have a unique address. Typically COM 1: -
COM4: addresses are 3F8, 2F8, 3E8, and 2E8 Hex.
Refer to Chapter 5 for common address contentions.
The second mode of address selection provides the compatibility mode. In
this mode, the DIP switch sets the base address and the adapter occupies 32
consecutive I/O locations. Table 3-2 describes the location of each port and
its relationship to the other ports.
NOTE
For switches 1-5 to become active, switches 6, 7, and 8 must be set in the “On” or
“Up” position.
