Troubleshooting
Error opening COM port
Typically this will come up when the keypad is trying to access your
serial port, but it is not available. This can be because the Notebook is
configured to a different COM port than the keypad manager is
configured to. Try a different COM port setting.
Also, if your system has an Infrared port enabled and you are not using
any Infrared devices, disabling them will prevent some COM port
conflicts from occurring. To disable in Windows 95/98, you need to
run Settings | Control Panel | System, click on the Device Manager tab,
Double Click the Infrared Device and check the box
Some notebooks in order to save battery power will also turn off the
serial port, so if you have verified that you are configured to the
correct COM port address, but still having problems, check your
power management setup to verify that the serial port is not powered
off.
