DOS and Windows 3.x Installation

1. With the power turned off, insert the DSerial-PCI/LP card into any

free PCI slot in your PC. Turn your PC on.

2. Place the DSerial-PCI

installation diskette into your floppy drive.

In the Win3.11\16550 subdirectory of this diskette you will find a file
called “Lavaconf.exe”. Copy this file to your hard drive and run it.

3. When run, Lavaconf.exe will display two I/O addresses and one IRQ.

These correspond to the addresses and IRQ chosen by your PC when
configuring the DSerial-PCI

. Make a note of them.

4. If you are using Windows 3.x, start Windows and go to Control Panel

| Ports. Choose Com 3 for Port 1 and Com 4 for Port 2 on the DSerial-
PCI

. Click the Advanced button and enter the I/O address and IRQ

for each port as reported by Lavaconf.exe. Reboot your PC for these
changes to take effect.

Note: DOS and Windows 3.X support a maximum

of four Com Ports in a PC.
