access the hardware. When you add an ISI card, you must give
the ISI ports unique names so they do not conflict with existing

basename having less than five characters. The base name you
select will be used for all ports on each card you install. ISI port
designations will have this form:
[basename prefix][board number][port letter].
basename: Length is one to four characters.
board number: Values will be 1, 2, 3, or 4, depending on
how many ISI cards are installed in your
computer.

modems. For ISI4608-PCI, use letters A through H for modems.
(For terminal control devices, use lower-case letters as port
identifiers.)

base name. This prefix identifies each port that supports a terminal

printing). Specify a unique printer base name (printer parameters
are outlined in the Multi_Setup Utility section in this manual ).
