CONNECTING DEVICES TO THE PORT REPLICATOR
When connecting a new device to any port on the port replicator, the
corresponding software drivers must be installed. Consider the following
guidelines when preparing to connect new devices:
If your operating system is Windows 98, you will be prompted
by a series of screens beginning with Add New Hardware
Wizard. You may need your Windows 98 CD to complete the
installation.
If your operating system is Windows 2000, the operating
system drivers will install automatically.
With either operating system, you must run the Setup or
Install that was included with your device.
To load any device-specific software, assign the device to a
port as follows:
parallel printer
serial mouse or modem
PS/2 mouse or keyboard
Installing a Serial Mouse
After connecting a standard serial mouse to the serial port on the port
replicator, press the Reset button until the Link LED flashes (about 5
seconds). Pressing the Reset button resets the serial port. Do this each time
you restart your notebook computer and whenever connecting a serial
device. Click Next to continue.
Installing a Serial Modem
Follow your modem installation instructions to add this device to your port
replicator. When prompted to select the port, choose the Serial USB
(COMx), where x is the COM port number assigned by your operating
system.
PB1284-1 (USB port)
serial USB (COMx) where x is the
number of the COM port
no port name required; the device
will be converted to emulate a USB
mouse or keyboard.
