Before proceeding, you should check to see if the Keyspan serial port is installed correctly.
To do this, open the Keyspan Serial Assistant (in Start menu-> Programs-> Keyspan USB 4-Port Serial Adapter->
Keyspan Serial Assistant). When you open the Keyspan Serial Assistant, you will see a window similar to the one
shown below:
If your Keyspan hardware and software are installed correctly, you will see your adapter in the 'Adapter Status' tab

Step 2 – Access the HotSync ® Manager.
