Installation
POWER OFF THE COMPUTER AND ALL ATTACHED DEVICES AND
PERIPHERALS.
Locate a free serial port to be used with the SmartBeam™. It is
usually labeled as a COM port. This can either be a DB9 male or
DB25 male. If it is a DB25, the included adapter must be used to
that the SmartBeam™ cable can be attached properly. Once
attached, tighten the thumbscrews until snug. Do not over-
tighten. Take note of this COM port.
DB9 serial port
DB25 serial port
Jumper Setting – IrDA Mode or Sharp ASK Mode
The SmartBeam™ is factory set to IrDA Mode.
If you wish to use it with Sharp organizers, it must
be set to ASK mode.
Unplug the SmartBeam™ from the serial port.
Carefully remove the black plastic label which
covers a hole at the back of the SmartBeam™
Insert a small screwdriver, only about ½" inside,
and separate the top part of the case from the
bottom. Be careful not to touch the circuitry!!!
Locate the jumper
and set accordingly.
IrDA mode is setting
the jumper toward
the cable; ASK is
setting the jumper
away from the cable
Snap the cover back onto the base with the circuit board
holes on the posts, and the white cable tie inside the case.
The cable tie must be inside the case so as to provide
strain relief.
Replace the black plastic label and cover the rear hole.
Re-attach the SmartBeam™ to the serial port.
Note: Do not change the jumper setting while attached.
