3.1 RS232 CONNECTION
A single Viper™CE cradle can be connected to the host by means of a CAB-417
cable. The RJ45 connector must be connected to the RS232 port of the cradle.
Then, it is necessary to insert the power supply plug into the jack on the cradle and
attach the power supply to a power outlet.
Once the host has been turned on, ensure that the Vishay Telefunken driver has
been activated by checking the IrDA port available in \Control
Panel\System\Hardware\Device Manager folder. Finally, insert the Viper™CE
terminal into the cradle.
