Serial connection
3.2.1
Serial port
Use the serial port for communication with operating systems that
do not support USB (MS-DOS, Windows 95 or Windows NT4). The
Braille display automatically switches to serial communication when
the USB connection is not used.
3.2.2
Serial cable
Use one of the serial cables supplied with the ALVA 570 Satellite Pro
Braille display for connection to the computer. Plug the serial cable
in to the 9-pin serial port of the Braille display (indicated by two
circles between vertical marks) and connect the cable to the serial
port of the PC.
3.2.3
Serial driver for the Satellite
The serial driver for the ALVA Satellite is identical to the serial driver
used for other ALVA Braille displays. This means that the ALVA
Satellite can be used with any screen reader that supports ABT3,
ALVA Delphi or ALVA Delphi MultiMedia Braille displays.
Installation of the screen reader with the ALVA Satellite is described
in the user manual of the screen reading software.
If you are using a screen reader that does not yet support the ALVA
Satellite use the following procedure to install the needed software:
1.
Select ALVA ABT3 as the Braille display.
2.
Select the serial port as the communication port.
