Quatech SSP-100 Network Card User Manual


 
2.1.2.7 Example 7
DEVICE = C:\SSP-100\SSP100CL.SYS (s0,b300,i5) (s1,b340,i10)
The type of configuration shown in example 7 may be desirable in systems where more
than one SSP-100 is to be installed. In this example, the Client Driver will attempt to
configure a SSP-100 inserted into socket 0 with a base address of 300H and IRQ 5. If the
SSP-100 is inserted into socket 1, the Client Driver will attempt to configure it with base
address 340H and IRQ 10. This allows the user to force the SSP-100's address and IRQ
settings to be socket specific which may simplify cable connections and software
development. As in the previous examples, however, if the requested address or
interrupt resources are not available, the SSP-100 will not be configured.
2.1.2.8 Example 8
DEVICE=C:\SSP-100\SSP100CL.SYS (s0,b300,i5,e3)
In Example 8, the Client Driver will attempt to configure an SSP-100 into socket 0 with a
base address of 300H and IRQ 5. The COM 3 spot of the BIOS Equipment list will be
occupied with the SSP-100. If the requested socket, base address or interrupt resources
are not available, the SSP-100 will not be configured and no update of the equipment
list will take place. If the requested spot in the BIOS equipment list is not available, but
the requested socket, base address, and IRQ are available, the SSP-100 will be
configured but an error message will appear stating that no update of the equipment
list can take place.
2.1.2.9 Example 9
DEVICE=C:\SSP-100\SSP100CL.SYS (s0,a3)
In Example 9, the Client Driver will attempt to configure an SSP-100 into socket 0 with
the COM 3 standard address of 3E8H and IRQ 4. The COM 3 spot of the BIOS
equipment list will be updated automatically. If the requested socket is unavailable, or
the COM 3 resource settings are unavailable, the SSP-100 will not be configured and no
update of the BIOS equipment list will be made. If the requested spot in the BIOS
equipment list is not available, but the requested socket, base address, and IRQ are
available, the SSP-100 will be configured but an error message will appear stating that
no update of the equipment list can take place.
