Setting up the Connection PC - Device
Set up a Connection via a Serial Interface
After installation of the software, the »Connection PC/Notebook to the Device« has to be initially configured so that the
User is able to read device data or re-write them into the device by means of the
PowerPort-E application.
To connect the device to the User's PC/notebook, a special null modem cable
is needed (no serial cable!- -please refer to the section »Null Modem Cable«).
If the PC/notebook does not have a serial interface, the User will need a special
USB-to-serial-adapter.
If the
USB-to-serial-adapter is correctly installed,
communication with the device can be established using the CD provided (see
the next section).
