IBM ValuePoint - Fails to recognize COM3 or COM4
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
PS/ValuePoint 6382/S, 6384/D (except P-60), and 6387/T fail to recognize an internal modem or other serial communication adapter configured as COM3 or COM4.
Problem Isoaltion Aids:
The supported I/O addresses on the above systems for COM3 and COM4 are 3220 and 3228. Many serial communication adapters utilize 03E8 and 02E8 as COM3 and COM4. These are not supported I/O address and will require device drivers that are the responsibility of the adapter manufacturer.
Fix:
Contact the place of purchase of the adapter or the vendor's technical support for drivers to use I/O address 3220 or 3228.
A work around has been devised by carrying out the following:-
Serial port A on the system board is programmable as serial ports 1 through 8. The customer can configure his system for three COM ports by configuring the adapter as COM1 and the system board serial port A as COM3. Should the customer require four COM ports, he will require a serial adapter that can be configured for supported I/O addresses or direct driver software.
