Installing Serial Devices
Overview
The COM ports provided by the SERIAL PORTS 1-8 can support any asynchronous
serial modem for use by any application that uses TAPI.
There is a remote possibility that connecting a peripheral using the wrong
configuration (RS-232 device connected to a RS-422 configured port) could
damage the peripheral. Configure each serial port specifically for the peripheral
that will be connected prior to connecting the peripheral to the ATS-XPE. See
Configuring the RocketPort Serial Ports
on Page 26 for information about
configuring port characteristics.
Note: If your serial devices require a driver that does not support the Windows XP
Embedded system, contact Comtrol before driver installation.
Connect your serial devices to the configured ports using the appropriate cables. If
you need to build cables for RocketPort serial ports, see
Installing Modems
This subsection illustrates how to install modems on ATS-XPE serial ports.
1.
Make sure that you have the driver available to the ATS-XPE system.
2.
If you have not done so, connect a modem to the AUX A, CONSOLE, or one of
the RocketPort serial ports.
Note: The ATS-XPE will automatically detect the modem and start the Found
New Hardware Wizard.
3.
Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and Next.
