hardware

) to the Keyspan port

configure your serial device's

software

Step 4

. If you do not receive either of these

messages, proceed

Problem Solving

section in this manual.

Step 4

Determine Where To Select/Configure The Keyspan Serial Port(s)

Prior to using your serial device with a Keyspan serial port, you must first tell that serial device's

software

which serial port your serial device

hardware

is connected to.

For example, if you have a Palm, you will have to tell the Palm Desktop

software

to look for

your Palm handheld (

hardware

) on a Keyspan serial port. By doing this, you establish

communication between your serial device's

software

(ie the Palm Desktop software) and your

serial device hardware (the Palm handheld unit).

Most serial devices will have software that will allow you to select which serial port the device is

connected to. Depending on your serial device and its software, you may have to configure: a

Control Panel (ie modems accessing ISPs), an application (ie UPSes), or some combination of

these (ie modems accessing terminals using Zterm).
