Verifying a Serial Modem Connection

When attaching a modem to the serial (RS232) port, verify that the port
assigned to your modem is Serial USB (COMx), where x is the number
of the COM port.

If the operating system does not detect automatically that your modem
is assigned to Serial USB (COMx), run the Hardware Wizard again and
choose

Select from the list instead of Autodetect. Then, select Serial

USB (COMx) as the COM port.

Error Message on Your PDA

If the error message “Connection Not Established” appears on your
PDA, check that the COM port setting in either your HotSync or
ActiveSync software matches the setting on the docking station. See
“Verifying Devices are Installed” to verify the COM port setting on the
docking station.

Some older versions of the Palm® Desktop software are not compat-
ible with the USB to Serial conversion. Please contact your PDA
vendor for software updates.
