Pcmcia Network Cards - Advantech PCM-3110 Manual

When you insert a modem or fax/modem in a PC/104 PCMCIA
Module slot, the following COM port assignments are made:
•
If no COM port is being used, the PCMCIA modem is automati-
cally assigned to COM 1.
•
If COM 1 is being used, the PCMCIA modem is automatically
assigned to COM 2.
•
If COM 1 & COM 2 are being used, the PCMCIA modem is
automatically assigned to COM 3.
If for example, you have a mouse connected to COM 1 and you insert a
PCMCIA modem card in Socket 1 or Socket 2, the modem is automati-
cally assigned to COM2. Although the hardware COM port assignment
is automatic, in your communication software, you must specify that
your communication device is connected to COM2.

PCMCIA Network Cards

After fax/modem and modem cards, the most commonly available
PCMCIA I/O device is a Local Area Network (LAN) card, which
allows your system to be hooked into a network. The PC/104 PCMCIA
Module hardware and software is fully compatible with most popular
PCMCIA LAN cards, including those from IBM, National Semicon-
ductor (NS) and D-Link, Accton, Svec and Socket Communications
Inc.'s Socket EA card. These cards can be used with PC/104 PCMCIA
Module with no further configuration. Intel's Ethernet card can also be
used, though please note the section below on using Intel's PCMCIA
Ethernet Card.
