IO Device Configuration ->
This sub-menu allows you to enable or disable the Eclipse's six COM ports and single
LPT port. Press [Enter] to view the following selections, described below.
COM1: [Enabled - IO Addr=3F8, IRQ=4]
This selection enables or disables the front panel DB9 serial connector. The
default setting is "Enabled". Select "Disabled" to turn off the port and use the
resources elsewhere.
COM2: [Enabled - IO Addr=2F8, IRQ=3]
This selection enables or disables COM2, used for the Touchscreen Interface in
the Eclipse.
COM3: [Enabled - IO Addr=3E8, IRQ=15]
This selection enables or disables COM3, used for the 3-Track Mag Card reader
mounted to the front of the Eclipse.
COM4: [Enabled - IO Addr=2E8, IRQ=11, RS422+]
This selection enables or disables and defines operating modes of COM4, a
multi-purpose RS422 or RS232 port. When the port is enabled, the following
modes are available.
Mode: [RS422+]
The default 'RS422+' mode supports MICROS IDN printing devices from
applications such as 3700.
Mode: [RS422-]
This setting supports the rare instances where the Eclipse is connected to a
Local Cluster Controller (LCC), Remote Cluster Controller (RCC), or
Network Cluster Controller (NetCC), as part of an 8700 installation. Other
applications do not support this type of interface.
Mode: [RS232]
This mode enables a two-wire RS232 interface capable of driving peripherals
such as an cash drawer or printer. Handshaking signals are not available on
this interface. See Appendix B for connector pin-outs and examples of cables
that can be used with this port.
COM5: (Enabled - IO Addr=338, IRQ=6]
This selection enables or disables COM5, a spare COM port not dedicated to a
particular device. This port is not available when using the Windows 2000
operating system.
