lets you map the address of the infrared port to

avoid address conflicts with other devices. The default
setting is

DISABLED

. Other possible settings are

COM1

,

COM2

,

COM3

,

COM4

,

and

AUTO

.

If you are using Windows 95 and this option is set to

AUTO

, the operating system can remap the port automati-

cally to avoid address conflicts with other devices. If any
other setting is used, this automatic mapping does not
occur.

If you are using Windows 3.x set this option to

COM3

, and

set the

SERIAL PORT

option to

DISABLED

,

COM2

, or

COM4

.

When mapping the infrared port, be careful not to create
a conflict with the serial port. Table 2-2 shows the avail-
able infrared port mappings.
