Using a USB or Serial Port With an IrDA Cable
Installed
When an IrDA cable is installed on a USB or serial port, that port
is always being used by the cable. If you need to use that port
for another device, you must disable the IrDA/serial cable using
Windows
®
and then shut down your computer before
disconnecting it, starting your computer up again, and then
using the port with another device or cable. For example, if you
have an IrDA/Serial cable installed in a serial port and want to
download a different device using a standard straight through
serial cable, you will need to disable the IrDA cable and remove
it to install the straight through serial cable. When you wish to
download the GX-2003 again, reconnect the IrDA cable, enable
the IrDA cable using Windows
®
, and then restart your computer.
See your IrDA cable and Windows
®
documentation for
instructions to enable and disable an IrDA device. In general,
you can enable or disable a device by going to the Control
Panel, double clicking System, selecting the Hardware tab,
clicking Device Manager, double clicking the IrDa cable under
Infrared Devices, and making the appropriate selection in the
Device usage field. The process may differ slightly in your
particular Windows
®
system.
