Locating the serial port
A – MobilePro Serial Port
2. Align and attach the PC Connect cable to the serial port on the
MobilePro. (If your cable is labeled, insert the cable with the word
Up visible on the top. If your cable has an arrow near the
connector, insert the cable with the arrow visible on top.)
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the 9-pin serial port on your
host PC. If your host PC has a 25-pin serial port, use an adapter
(available in most computer stores).
Note Before connecting the PC Connect cable to the serial port on
your host PC, be sure that the serial port is enabled in the host PC's
BIOS setup and that no conflicts exist for the port. For details, see a
previous section in this chapter, “Ensuring the Availability of the Serial
Port.”
Be sure to properly align the cable connectors
in the ports. Incorrect connection can damage the MobilePro and the
computer.
