Ensuring the Availability of the Serial Port

 

The serial port on your desktop or notebook computer must
be available for synchronization with your NEC Mo-
bilePro. To ensure the availability of the serial port follow
these steps.

1. 

Access the setup utility on your desktop or notebook

computer to verify that the port is enabled.

2. 

Check the device manager on your desktop or notebook

computer to identify potential conflicts for the serial
port. In the Windows environment:

„

 

Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel.

„

 

Double tap the System icon and select the Device
Manager tab.

„

 

Check the Ports listing to determine if any conflicts
exist (another device is assigned to or using the se-
rial port). The port may be flagged with an excla-
mation point, for example, if any conflicts exist.

„

 

If another device is assigned to or is using the serial
port, you must reassign the device to free up the se-
rial port for MobilePro synchronization.
