USAGE
Connect the snap-lock connector to the
back of a SMARTPAX, and the other end
of the PC SMARTLINK to a COM port on
the computer you want to control. Power
up the SMARTPAX. Insert the PC ADAP-
TOR SOFTWARE disk into computer’s
drive A. Select drive A by typing “A:”
and press Enter, then type “INSTALL”.
The installation program will guide you
from here.
The SMARTKEY program constitutes the
software part of the adaptor, enabling
SMARTPAX to talk to your presentation
program. There are two versions of this
program, one for DOS-based presenta-
tion programs (SMARTKEY) and one for
programs running under Microsoft
Windows (SKWIN). The installation pro-
gram will copy them onto your hard-disk
as required. Choose the corresponding
version of the program, and start it by
typing its name followed by the number
of the COM port used:
SMARTKEY 1
Start the presentation program. If you’re
using Windows, first start Windows,
then start SKWIN using the Windows
Program Manager. You can supply the
number of the COM port as a parameter
to SKWIN.
Please refer to the SMARTPAX product
sheet and the TRAX handbook for more
details.
IMPORTANT
Always connect the smartlink before
turning on the power.
Technical Description
The PC SMARTLINK package works
by simulating the computer’s key-
board through the serial port. This
allows it to drive a presentation
application in the same way as a
user typing on the keyboard. The
smartlink works with most popular
presentation programs thanks to built-
in software drivers in Dataton
TRAX®. The PC SMARTLINK cable
length is 1.6m (63”) and may be
extended with Dataton EXTENSION
CABLE,article number 3451 (1m),
3452 (2m) or 3455 (5m).
