MicroWin 2000EX Manual
3
System Requirements
• Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, and Windows XP Compatible
• 32 Megabytes of RAM
• At least 10 Megabytes of space on the computer’s hard drive
Computer Speed
With a 486, expect it to be a little slow.
With a low-end Pentium-75, performance is acceptable.
With a Pentium-100 or better, performance will be quite nice.
Requirements Connecting Remotely Using a Modem
Connecting remotely will be done with a 300 to 2400 baud Hayes-compatible modem.
Newer modems (14.4, 28.8, 33.6, and 56K) will work just fine.
Please note that some modems require special initialization strings to work properly at these
speeds. See your modem manual if you are having problems.
Requirements Connecting Locally Using a Serial Cable
Connecting locally will be done with a serial cable from a computer Com Port to a S1000EX’s
Printer Port located on the front of the dialer. The side of the cable that will connect to the dialer
will have a 9-Pin Female connector. The administrator will need to determine the type of
connector for the other end of the cable that goes to the computer Com Port.
Do NOT use a Null Modem cable.
Computer Com Ports
Most computers come with Com Ports 1 and 2. Determine which ports are in use and what they
are used for. For example, Com 1 could be used for a mouse and Com 2 for a modem.
The computer Com Ports can be used interchangeably for either Modem communication or
Local serial communication, depending on how the hardware is setup. When used locally, the
computer will be plugged in straight from the computer to the front of the dialer. When used as a
modem, the Com Port will be connected to a modem that can be used to call-out to or accept call-
ins from an S1000EX dialer.
