Access Manager 2000 User Manual

IRQ: The Shared I/O Status Port Mask always has the same value for the
same port, number-independent of the port address range of the board.

Status Mask: The following range of starting and ending Port Addresses
and Shared I/O Status Port Addresses may be used (each port address is
8h above the previous port on the board):

CAUTION

When adding Comline definitions, make sure you add them in
consecutive ascending Comline Name order (COM1, COM2, COM3,
etc.) and consecutive ascending port number (port 1, port 2, port 3,
etc.).

If your computer has DigiCHANNEL MC/4 or MC/8 boards and if you
add Comline definitions in any other order, Access Manager may lock up
your computer. For example, this may happen if you do not install port 1
as COM3 and then install port 3 as COM2. IF ANY OF THESE
CONDITIONS EXIST, YOUR COMPUTER MAY LOCK UP. The
following list may assist you in troubleshooting this problem:

Reboot your computer and restart Access Manager. The database
recovery process should delete the incorrect record and allow you to
log onto Access Manager.

Copy the COMLINE.DAT and COMLINE.KEY files from the
original database disk and restart Access Manager. If this does not
clear the problem, contact Verilink Field Service for assistance.
Current revisions of Access Manager have software to prevent the
user from performing an incorrect installation for every other
combination.
