Troubleshooting Tips for RAS Configuration
If you receive the message “Error 651” when establishing a
connection, the first items to check are:
•
cable pinouts are correct and have continuity
•
Cable connections are good to the PC serial ports
•
The port you have connected the cable to actually corresponds to
the port name you have configured (e.g.,COM1 vs COM2).
•
Baud rates and other port settings for the configured ports must
be the same on the client and Server PCs
•
Baud rates up to 115,200 have been successfully used on short
cable lengths.
