Connecting a Serial Device

Your computer has a private port for connecting a serial device such as a
serial mouse or modem through the private cable.

Follow this procedure to connect a serial device:

1. Make sure the COM Ports item is set properly in the SCU program.

(See “Advanced Menu” in Chapter 5 for information.)

2. Make sure the computer is not turned on.

3. Plug the included private cable to the private port.

4. Plug the device cable to the serial port on the private cable.

5. Turn on the computer.

NOTE: Portable modems that derive power through the serial port cannot be used with

the Tablet PC. Instead, use a modem that is powered by its own internal battery or

external AC power.
