Does Product Family 56A (FLEX)
programming software run on
COM3 or COM4?
It will run on these ports as long as no other device is connected to these
ports.
When reading a pager, either the
mouse no longer works or the
communications to the pager can
not be re-established.
This error often results from setting an asynchronous mouse to the same
communications port interrupt used for the programming software. It is
recommended that one of the communications ports be changed.
Check that both devices are not set to even.
Check that both devices are not set to odd.
If either of these conditions exist, reset one device opposite of the other port.
The programming software
reports a
Data
Communications
error and
never reads the pager.
Check the Programming Interface cable for correct installation. This is usually a
9- or 25-pin male connector on the back of the computer.
Check that power supply cable is connected to a power source.
Check that pager is in the OFF position and firmly seated in the Mechanical
Interface, (red LED is illuminated).
Check if there are any RAM-resident programs running.
The pager does not function after
programming has been
performed.
Check that capcode has not been changed.
Check all functions. Ensure that entries have not been programmed to inactive
status or incorrect.
Check that
Operating Mode
was not programmed to
Deaf
