Verifying a Serial Modem Connection
When attaching a modem to the serial (RS232) port, verify
that the port assigned to your modem is Serial USB
(COM
x
), where
x
is the number of the COM port.
If the operating system does not detect automatically that
your modem is assigned to Serial USB (COM
x
), run the
Hardware Wizard again and choose
Select
from the list
instead of
Autodetect
. Then, select
Serial USB (COMx)
as
the COM port.
Error Message on Your PDA
If the error message “Connection Not Established” appears
on your PDA, check that the COM port setting in either your
HotSync or ActiveSync software matches the setting on the
docking station. See “Verifying Devices are Installed” on
page 17 to verify the COM port setting on the docking
station.
Some older versions of the Palm
®
Desktop software are not
compatible with the USB to Serial conversion. Please
contact your PDA vendor for software updates.
Video
Can I get a higher resolution on my monitor?
• No, resolution is set at 1024 x 768, 16-bit colour.
Can disk I/O functions such as, extensive reading
and writing to an external hard drive or DVD,
degrade video functionality?
• Yes. Since all data has to pass through a single USB
connection, you may notice some degradation of your
video performance. Video performance will return when
disk read/write decreases or stops.
