Connecting the Interface
There are two types of the Interface Cradle available. The first connects to the computers
serial (RS232) communications port and the other connects to the computers USB
(Universal Serial Bus) communications port. Although there may be multiple connectors
on the computer for each of these types of communications ports, the shape of each is
unique and therefore it is not possible to connect the Interface Cradle to the wrong type
of communications port. The software supports the connection of multiple Interface
Cradles at the same time and therefore as many serial and/or USB Interface Cradles as
are needed and the computer supports may be connected.
The connectors for the serial (RS232) communications ports typically look like the
following picture.
Serial (RS232) communication ports can be typically found at the rear of the computer
and there are usually at most two ports installed on a single computer. Most serial
Interface Cradle connectors will have screws included on the plug and as such we
recommend that these are tightened when the connector is plugged in so that it does not
accidentally pull out during usage.
The connectors for USB devices typically look like the following picture.
Connectors for USB devices and the sockets on the computer where USB devices are
plugged in will often display a USB logo nearby to help them be identified. Example
pictures of the USB logos that may appear are:
