1) Version 4.00 and Earlier Versions
Only communications ports COM1 and COM2 can be used. Always change the
communications port allocation for this device to COM1 or COM2 in the Microsoft
Windows Device Manager (see note 1) and specify that port in the NT Support Tool's
communications settings. Once the communications port is specified correctly in the
Windows Device Manager and the NT Support Tool's communications settings, data
such as screen data can be downloaded to the PT or uploaded from the PT through the
USB-Serial Conversion Cable.
Note: In most personal computers, COM1 is allocated to the RS-232C port and
2) Version 4.60E and Later Versions
Any communications port between COM 1 and COM8 can be used. Check the NT
Support Tool's communications settings and verify that the communications port
allocated to the Conversion Cable is also specified in the NT Support Tool.
