USB cable.
Connect the cable to the SLP and the USB port
on your computer. If all USB ports are in use, you may
need to purchase a USB hub.
Serial cable.
Plug the telephone-style connector into the
jack on the rear panel of the SLP. Plug the other end of
the cable into a serial port on your computer.
Note… Serial ports are also called COM ports — COM1,
