6. If the Properties window indicates that the card has been assigned
resource settings, then either the card failed to load due to a resource con-
flict or your computer is having a system conflict. Refer to the section
below that corresponds to the type of Symphony-HRF adapter you have
installed:
Symphony HomeRF PC Card:
A resource conflict occurs when another device is already using the Interrupt
Request (IRQ), I/O Base Address, or Memory Range for which the Symphony
HomeRF PC Card is configured. Highlight the entry that reports a resource
conflict and click <Change Setting...> to find another available resource.
Note:
You may need to uncheck the Use automatic settings box before
you can click the <Change Settings> button.
Click <OK> after you have configured the PC Card to use the new resource
setting and restart the computer when prompted.
Hint:
Generally, the Interrupt Request will be the cause of the
resource conflict. You may find that your computer has no free
Interrupt Request available for use. In this case, try setting the
Interrupt Request to a value of 3 or 4, which typically corre-
sponds to COM2 or COM1, respectively. If there is no free
Interrupt Request, and you are actively using both COM1 and
COM2 or other devices are using these resources, then you will
need to remove and uninstall one of the other devices from the
computer before the Symphony HomeRF PC Card may be used.
Symphony-HRF USB Adapter:
A computer’s Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller automatically assigns
resources to a Symphony-HRF USB Adapter. Refer to your PC’s manual or
contact your PC’s manufacturer if there is a problem with the computer’s USB
controller.
The LED on the front of the USB Adapter will turn green when the driver is
properly installed and the device is ready for operation.
