Connecting to a PC

The use of the PC connectivity applications re-
quires that the desktop software for connectivi-
ty, provided on a diskette in the communicator
sales package, is running on the PC. The software
requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later and an
available serial or infrared (IrDA compatible) port
to run.
To install the connectivity software on the PC:
Insert the diskette in your diskette drive
In the Program Manager of your Windows,
click on the "File" menu.
Click on menu item "Run" and type a:\server
in the command line.
Press Enter.
Follow the instructions shown on the screen.
To establish an infrared serial connection:
Make sure that the communicator's infrared
port faces the infrared port of the PC (or
printer). Keep the infrared link clear – check
the infrared indicators in the indicator area,
see chapter 2 "Getting started: Indicators -
Using the applications". In the event the in-
frared link is obstructed for too long (for
example, something is moved between the in-
frared sensors or the communicator is
moved), the operation is interrupted.
Connecting to a PC
Preferences – Preferences let you change date
and time formats and the measurement unit. The
preferences list contains the following items:
Date format — dd.mm.yy / mm.dd.yy /
yy.mm.dd. For example, 25.10.97 / 10.25.97 /
97.10.25.
Time format — 24 hour / AM/PM. For example,
09:35 / 9:35 AM.
Unit of measure — Choose either Centimetre
or Inch as the basic unit of measure.
Start the connectivity software on the PC.
Check that the COM port reported by the con-
nectivity software is correct.
Note: When using the communicator as a fax
modem, use the infrared link (see "Fax modem").
To establish a serial cable connection (the RS-
232 adapter cable is supplied separately):
Connect the adapter to the communicator
(for instructions on how to do this, see chap-
ter 2 "Getting started: Connectors").
Connect the 9-pin adapter end of the RS-232
cable to the COM port of the PC and the other
end to the adapter (into the connector on the
left side of the adapter).
Start the connectivity software on the PC.
Check that the COM port reported by the con-
nectivity software is correct.
After you have established a connection to a PC
and the connectivity software is running on the
PC, you can start the communicator's connectiv-
ity applications. When the PC connection is ac-
tive, the call status indicator shows the text PC-
CONN. If the connection to the PC cannot be cre-
ated, check the settings of the connectivity ap-
plication. You must define the COM port and the
PC drive or path correctly.
