Hardware and Software Requirements
Using the protocol logging functions of the Test Set requires a number of specific
hardware and software items not supplied directly by Hewlett-Packard. It is the
user's responsibility to acquire those items not provided by Hewlett-Packard.
CAUTION:
Attempting to use hardware and software items other than those specified in this module
may result in unsatisfactory performance. Hewlett-Packard does not make any claims of
suitability as to the form and/or function of such substitutions.
Hardware Requirements
Three pieces of hardware, besides the Test Set and mobile station, are required to
use the protocol logging functions of the Test Set.

chronous Receiver/Transmitter). This will allow serial communication even if the proces-
sor is busy and cannot immediately handle the serial port interrupt requests. A 486 33MHz
class microprocessor is adequate, but a 586 100 MHz class processor will reduce the like-
lihood of missed characters sent from the Test Set.

An industry standard PC compatible computer
Break-out Adapter HP P/N 08924-61029 (37 pin "D" connector to two 9-pin and one
15-pin "D" connectors)
The break-out adapter is shipped as standard equipment with the Test Set.
A null-modem cable, no more than six feet in length.
The null-modem cable is not provided by Hewlett-Packard, but is a readily available
standard serial cable. The end of the null-modem cable that mates to the Test Set
(break-out adapter) will be a nine-pin male sub-miniature "D". The end that connects
to the computer will be a nine-pin female male sub-miniature "D" or a 25-pin sub-min-
iature "D", depending on the computer. The User Manual for PROCOMM PLUS
