Troubleshooting
If you are unable to establish a connection, ensure the serial port settings on the
SnapGear unit match those of the local PC.
On the SnapGear unit, select Network Setup from the Network Setup section of the
main menu, Modify the dial-in connection, and select the Port Settings tab to modify
port settings.
If the local PC is running Windows XP, right-click the connection you added in the
previous section, select Properties, select the General tab and click Configure to
modify port settings.
