Intellex Serial Interfaces and Text Recording
Internal COM ports
Intellex units with version 2.1 hardware or later have only one external serial port. It
should be configured as COM 2 and is dedicated to the Touch Tracker interface. (The
motherboard BIOS parameters for COM 2 are I/O Address=2F8, Interrupt=IRQ3).
Any additional serial ports must be added by means of a USP serial port expander.
Port Expanders
The serial port expander supported by Intellex is the Edgeport/4 by Inside Out
Networks. The Sensormatic part number is RDVEXP01. The Edgeport/4 driver is
already installed on DV16000 systems manufactured with version 2.5 software.
Port Assignments
The serial port assignment is made by the Edgeport driver. It assigns COM ports
based on the serial number of the port expander. This means that if you plug one port
expander in and it is assigned serial port numbers COM 3-6, and you remove it and
plug in another port expander, it will then be assigned serial port numbers COM 7-10.
Always keep the same port expander with the same Intellex. If you switch Edgeports,
you must then renumber the COM port setup in Intellex.
COM Port Assignments
These are the COM port assignments that are expected by Intellex.
COM 1
COM 2
COM 3, COM 4
COM 5
COM 6 and higher

These COM ports are assigned to either the external
USB modem or the port expanders. The external USB
modem must use COM 3 or COM4 to be used with
pcAnywhere.
This COM port is used by the internal modem if it is
installed. If there is no internal modem, it is assigned
to the port expander.
