3780Link for Windows
4
When used with 3780Link, the SmartSync/DCP does not require the use of
an interrupt (IRQ) in your computer. Before installing the SmartSync/DCP
board, be sure that the board is configured to NO INTERRUPT mode. Note:
The diagnostic program provided with the DCP-286i and DCP-386i
hardware requires that the IRQ jumper be set. If you wish to run this
diagnostic program, you will have to set the IRQ jumper to a valid IRQ.

Hardware Port Addresses
When installing a SmartSync/DCP board, choose an address that does not
conflict with other hardware installed on your system. Windows NT is able
to detect a hardware port address conflict, and will not allow the device
driver to start if a conflict exists.

Memory Mapped Addresses
Each SmartSync/DCP contains memory that is shared with your Windows
system. This shared memory is located between 640KB and 1MB in 16KB
segments. You choose the memory segment during the 3780Link installation
system. This shared memory is located between 640KB and 1MB in 16KB
segments. You choose the memory segment during the 3780Link installation
−
there is not a hardware switch or jumper associated with this memory
location. Since VGA display adapters usually use selected memory between
0xA0000 and 0xCFFFF, most Windows systems will have only the memory
between 0xD0000 and 0xEFFFF available.

you must resolve this conflict so each adapter has
its own segment.
