3.
Plug the other end of the serial cable into the serial port on the serial

4.
Open the serial communication software and set the port settings to match
the Optima default settings (see table to the right). In addition to the default
baud rate of 9600, Optima enclosures support baud rates of 19200, 38400,
and 57600. The settings on the PC serial communication software and the
enclosure must correspond to each other. If a change is required to make
them match, changing the PC's settings is preferable. If you decide to
change the enclosure's settings instead, use XNConnect (see the Help file).
Caution: To avoid system damage, follow the power-up sequence on page 34. We recommend
attaching all power cords to a surge protector and/or AC line conditioner.

If not already on, apply power first to the Optima enclosure and then to the source and destination
devices (see "Applying Power & Startup" on page 34).
