Connect the other end of the cable to the 9-pin serial
port on your desktop or notebook computer. If your
desktop has a 25-pin serial port, use an adapter (avail-
able in most computer stores).
Note:
Before connecting the PC Connect cable
to the serial port on your desktop, be sure that the
serial port is enabled in the desktop’s BIOS setup
and that no conflicts exist for the port. For details,
see a previous section in this chapter, “Ensuring the
Availability of the Serial Port.”
!
CAUTION
Be sure to properly align the cable connectors and
ports. Incorrect connection can damage the Mo-
bilePro H/PC and the computer.
Creating a Partnership
Once the PC Connect cable is connected, proceed with the
installation to create a partnership between the MobilePro
and your desktop computer.
Once the cable is connected, the Get Connected Window
appears. Press the Start button and your desktop computer
polls the MobilePro to identify its serial port and baud rate.
When polling is complete, the Multiple Partnership
window appears.
