Connecting A Serial Device - Getac S400 User Manual

Connecting a Serial Device

Your computer has one or two serial port (depending on model) for
connecting a serial device such as a serial mouse or serial communication
device (modem).
Follow this procedure to connect a serial device:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Plug the device cable to the serial port on the rear of the computer.
3. Turn on the computer.
NOTE: Portable modems that derive power through the serial port cannot be
used with the computer. Instead, use a modem that is powered by its own internal
battery or external AC power.
