Setting Up the Hardware
To use DriveTools32 with this type of communications, you must:
• Ensure that the drive and adapter are properly installed and powered.
• Ensure that cables are securely connected and protected from damage.
• Use a standard straight-thru serial cable to connect your computer to the
adapter.
• Ensure that your serial communications module settings are correct. In most
cases, you should use the factory-set defaults. If you decide to change the
default settings, note the new settings because you need to know them when
you configure RSLinx and DriveTools32. Refer to the appropriate manual:
Important: If you are using a 1203-GD2 serial communications module, its
firmware must be release 2.04 or greater. If you use an earlier version, all
