Definition of Terms:
The word “
device
” used throughout this manual refers to the EA-1 adapter itself.
Instructions regarding computer control of the adapter (for example, opening a Telnet connection or using the USB
port) refer to a PC running Windows 7. Instructions for a PC running XP or newer versions of Windows are similar or
identical in most cases but minor variations may be required.
Note:
It is possible to perform all these tasks using a computer running another operating system and not just with
Windows, for example a MAC or Linux PC, but in that case the instructions will be different according to the specific
operating system being used. All the tasks should still be possible using a different platform, as they are not specific
to Microsoft Windows (for example, Telnet and USB Virtual COM Port) but instructions are included specifically for
Windows as that is how the device and software have been tested.
