Quick Start
Quick Start
Card Setup
The PC-COMM+232 will use I/O Addresses 240H and 248H and allow your
operating system to assign the IRQ. If these I/O addresses are already in use,
please feel free to contact our Technical Support Representatives to identify
possible solutions.
Operating System Installation
Please install the proper software for your adapter before installing the
hardware
installation procedure.
Windows 95/98/ME/2000
. Refer to the supplied software for the correct operating system
1. Ensure that the PCMCIA services are enabled. This is done in the
Control Panel.
2. Install the supplied software (SeaCOM). This installation will
provide the necessary drivers and INF files required to properly
initialize and enable your adapter.
3. Using the Device manager, verify that the ports have been installed
and what ‘Friendly Names’ (i.e. COM5: COM6:, etc.) have been
assigned to your adapter.

Quick Start
Windows NT 4.0
1. Ensure that the PCMCIA services are enabled. This is done in the
Control Panel.
2. Install the supplied software (SeaCOM). This installation will
provide the necessary drivers and INF files required to properly
initialize and enable your adapter.
3. Power down the machine, install the card, and p ower up. This will
allow NT to find the first port at 240H and assign an IRQ.
4. Open ‘Advanced Ports’ found in the Control Panel. Verify that the
first port on your card has been initialized at 240H and identify the
IRQ. The IRQ will be the same for the second port.
5. Select ‘Add Port’. Type in ‘248’ for ‘Starting I/O Address’. Select
the same interrupt that has been assigned to the first port. Do not
select the ‘Share Interrupt’ check box.
6. Click the ‘Add’ button, and then the ‘Apply’ button.
7. Allow your system to Re-boot with the card installed.
8. Installation is complete
Note: Windows NT is not ‘Plug and Play’ nor does it support
‘Hot-Swapping’, therefore power down before card insertions or removals.
Linux
