Communications Problems
If you have problems with serial communications
If you cannot make a serial connection at high speed (115K baud), try changing
the Power Management setting in the
(from "Maximum").
If you have problems with infrared communications
Move the devices to within about 1/2 meter (1.5 feet).
Check that only one application is using the infrared port.
Check that both devices are using the same protocol, such as IrDA.
Make sure you're using the COM4 port. (For printing, use the LPT3 port instead.)
Start Infrared Monitor before you connect. In Control Panel, double-click
Infrared.
For an MS-DOS program using an infrared connection, run the program in an
MS-DOS Prompt window instead of in MS-DOS mode.
Try restarting Windows.
If an application can't access a serial port
Check that the COM name you're using is actually assigned to the port you're
using.
If an application doesn't support the COM port number assigned, change the port
number in the
System Configuration Utility.
Check whether another application is preventing access to the port, even if it's
not actively using it.
Check in the communications application that you haven't changed the address
and interrupt for the OmniBook port.
If the OmniBook stops responding after accessing a serial port
If the OmniBook stops working, try pressing the On/Off key to suspend and turn
on the OmniBook.
Reboot
the OmniBook.
If an I/O card stops communicating properly
It may have been reset if the OmniBook suspended or turned off. Exit and
restart the application, and plug in the ac adapter, if possible.
If a parallel device doesn't work correctly
System Configuration Utility
to "Moderate"
