3.3 Installing a Mouse
In addition to the AutoMax Executive and Windows software, it is
recommended that you also install a mouse and the software
required to support it. Although a mouse is not required, the
Executive software is easier to use with a mouse. A list of
compatible mice is included with the Windows software package.
A mouse is used to move the cursor or pointer on your screen to
make selections or specify areas for data entry. There are two
different types of mice, a bus mouse and a serial mouse. Each type
has its own installation procedure.
A bus mouse requires a bus card that must be configured, usually
by setting jumpers, before it is installed in an expansion slot of your
computer. Each jumper is placed over a set of pins to make an
electrical connection. Refer to the instructions that are provided with
your mouse for the appropriate jumper settings for your computer.
The mouse cable then plugs into a port on the back of the bus card,
visible through the back of the computer.
A serial mouse is installed by plugging the mouse into a serial port
on the back of your computer (COM1 or COM2). Some computers
have a 9Ćpin serial port, others a 25Ćpin port. If the serial port and
mouse connector do not have the same number of pins, an adapter
can be used to connect the mouse cable connector to the serial
port.
For both kinds of mice, a software driver is necessary to enable the
mouse and the Executive software to communicate. The mouse
