PowerTALK 98 – Windows GUI software
PowerTALK 98 is the 32 bit Windows interface to PowerTALK 101. The Windows software
connects to a serial port on PowerTALK 101.
PowerTALK 98 is developed to simplify the process of setting up a number of PowerTALK 101
units locally or from remote. PowerTALK 98 requires one serial connection from a PC running
Windows 95, 98 or NT to a PowerTALK 101 unit. Over such serial link, all PowerTALKs including
the Ethernet connected ones can be configured, and re-configured.
Upon start-up PowerTALK 98 needs to establish serial communication with any PowerTALK 101
unit. The first screen asks for the serial port details previously set up on the PowerTALK 101
units. Factory defaults on PowerTALK 101 units are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
First PowerTALK 98 setup screen
The Default Password on PowerTALK 98 is set as “martian”. The system is delivered in the open
state, i.e. the default password enables changing of any networked PowerTALK 101 unit. Should
the user want to password protect the system, the passwords on each PowerTALK 101 unit may
be changed, and the default password on the screen below may also be changed.
Once communication to the serially connected PowerTALK 101 unit is achieved, all networked
PowerTALK 101 units will be listed. Any PowerTALK units located across a network bridge or
router (101B or 101C models) will not be seen by this list until their IP addresses are manually set
up in PowerTALK 98.
