1.7.3 Serial connection
Serial connectivity is an option if you do not have a
free USB port. The TalkSwitch package does not
include a Serial cable. The PC and TalkSwitch unit
must be in close proximity.
1. Connect the cable to the Serial port on your PC and to the Serial port on
the back of TalkSwitch.
2. Press the Power button on the front of your TalkSwitch and turn on your
computer.
Make sure that no other communication programs are running at the
same time as the configuration software.
Examples: Palm Pilot, Hot Sync, TalkWorks, Digital Camera, UPS Tracking
software, etc. These programs tend to occupy the COM ports, preventing
other programs from using them.
Look in your system tray for programs using your
COM ports. Rolling your mouse cursor over each
icon will also indicate the name of the associated
program.
