Installing the Module
Use this chapter to install the module. This chapter describes:
• an overview of the general installation procedure
• how to connect the module to a host through the RS-232C serial port
• how to connect the module to a host through the parallel port
• how to connect the module to a host through the isolated network access port (NAP)
