If the Symphony PCI Card did not install properly, confirm that the
computer’s BIOS is configured to assign resources to the card.
If the Symphony ISA or PC Card did not install properly, the card most likely
has a resource conflict and is trying to use an IRQ, I/O Base Address, or
Memory Range (if applicable) which is either already in use or not available
for use by the card. To resolve the conflict, open the Windows NT Diagnos-
tics utility in the Administrative Tools section of the Start Menu and click
the Resources tab to view the resources currently in use by the computer.
After you have confirmed what resources are available, click the Adapters tab
of the Control Panel’s Network icon and view the properties for the Sym-
phony ISA or PC Card Adapter to return to the Card Setup screen. Change
the IRQ, I/O Base Address, or Memory Address (if applicable) to match the
resources available for use by the Symphony Card.
Hint:
Generally, the IRQ will be the cause of the resource conflict. You
may find that your computer has no free IRQ available for use.
In this case, try setting the IRQ to a value of 3 or 4, which typically
correspond to COM2 and COM1, respectively. If there is no free
IRQ available 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 Card may be used.
Uninstalling the Windows NT Driver
If at any time you need to uninstall the Symphony driver for Windows NT,
follow these steps:
1. Remove the device from the Adapters list in the Network icon.
2. Remove the driver file, SYMPHONY.SYS, from the WINNT\SYSTEM32\
DRIVERS directory.
3. Shut down the computer and remove the Symphony Card from the
PCMCIA, ISA, or PCI slot.
