PC-PC direct cable connection: via RS232/V.24 interface
The problem that often occurs with PC-PC direct cable connection is in-
correct baud rate setting. The following section describes the configura-
tion of a PC-PC direct cable connection at a Win95 system (similar for
WIN98).
Before using the actual Gigaset M105 Data unit, application functionality
should be checked using a direct connection (with a null-modem cable).
After the test, remove the null-modem cable and install the cable sup-
plied. This accelerates fault detection and clearance. If this is not possi-
ble, the precise configuration is to be examined.

The Gigaset M105 Data unit can be set to a fixed baud rate (direct con-
nection 115200 bps with HW handshake).
Setting the direct connection to the correct baud rate

Open the terminal program
First of all, open a terminal program (e.g. Win95 HyperTerminal via
Hypertrm.exe) at both PCs and ensure that the correct COM port is being
accessed.
Set up a direct connection via COMx (COM 1 was selected in the exam-
ple). The virtual COM port must be selected when using the Gigaset
M105 Data.
