Connecting Serial Devices

Connecting Serial Devices

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-NTE. See

Configuring the Serial Ports

on Page 18 for information about configuring port

characteristics.

Note: If your serial devices require a driver that does not support the Windows NT

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, see

RocketPort Serial Port Connectors

on Page 29.

Installing Modems on the RocketPort Serial Ports

A standard 28800 bps modem driver is built into the ATS-NTE image. To add
additional modems that use the standard driver, see Using the ATS-NTE
Standard Modem Driver
(below).

If you want to install a specific driver for your modems on the RocketPort serial
ports (SERIAL PORTS 1-8), see

Using the Modem Manufacturer’s Driver

on Page

Using the ATS-NTE
Standard Modem
Driver

Use the following procedure if you want to use the standard modem driver
configured in the ATS-NTE.

1.

Connect the modem to the serial port you want to configure.

The connector labeled P0 by default corresponds to COM4 (unless you changed
the starting COM port number in the driver setup to a higher number).

COM1 is assigned to the CONSOLE port.

COM2 is assigned to the AUX A port.

COM3 is assigned to the optional
PCMCIA Ethernet/Modem card.

2.

Open the Modem control panel and select
the Add button.

3.

Check the Don’t detect my modem... box
and select Next.
