WARNING: Serial Port Connection
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the FPT Gateway interface requires the exclusive use of any
communication port or terminal to which it connects. The shared use of any communication port or
terminal by this gateway and any ancillary device, such as CRTs or printers, may interfere with or
completely negate the function of this gateway. Such shared connections are not supported.
