Serial Ports (COM1~2)
The ASMB-586 offers two serial ports onboard, COM1 and COM2 (one can be con-
nected to rear panel via the dedicated COM cable kit in the accessory box) for the
use in a serial mouse, printer or communications network, etc. The IRQ and address
ranges for those ports are fixed. However, if you want to disable the port or change
these parameters later, you can do this in the system BIOS setup. Different devices
implement the RS-232 standards in different ways.
Up to eight COM ports may appear in Windows Devices Managers when all devices
are enabled. Besides COM1 and COM2 for RS-232, COM3 is reserved as a virtual
COM port for Linux OS users, COM4 is for Intel AMT or IPMI SOL support,
COM5~COM8 are additional serial ports for when an optional Advantech COM mod-
ule for RS-232/422/485 is installed on the LPC1 connector.
