Properties. Select a device will confirm the connection, and Configure will
confirm the max speed. If not at 38400 bps, reset and click OK, OK.
For the Win XP communications cable connection, always disconnect the
network connection on your CT PC before removing the V24 cable (click on the
networking icon, lower right on your screen, and select Disconnect. If not, the
V.24 NMS port on the NCC card can think it is still connected and not correctly
answer further connection attempts. If in doubt, reboot the terminal (power off,
pause, power on).
If rebooting is not an option because of disruption to service, try the following.
With the V.24 cable installed, proceed from the 9500 MXC Connect window to:
Properties > Networking > Internet protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties > Advanced,
and deselect (untick) the tickbox for 'Use default gateway on remote connection',
followed by OK, OK, OK, Connect.
This procedure is applicable to PCs running Windows XP. It is generally
applicable to Windows 98 and 2000.
There may be slight differences between different versions of the XP service
pack.
This is a generic guide for third-party USB to serial adaptors, such as provided by
Radio Shack and Edgeport. There will be slight differences in setup requirements
from one manufacturer to another. These devices require driver software, which
is normally supplied on a floppy disk or CDROM, though in some instances may
be included in the driver suite on Windows XP.
For a PC with a USB port the procedure covers:
• Installing the USB-to-Serial Adapter
• Changing the Assigned COM port, if required
• Installing the V.24 Modem Driver for USB
• Installing V.24 Dial-up Connection for USB
