Connecting to the PC using RS-232
• Locate your computer within 8 feet of the drive.
• Your drive was shipped with a communication cable. Plug the large end into the serial port of your PC and the
small end into the jack on your drive. Secure the cable to the PC with the screws on the sides.
Never connect a drive to a telephone circuit. It uses the same connectors and cords
as telephones and modems, but the voltages are not compatible.
If your PC does not have a serial port, you should purchase a “USB Serial Converter”. We have had good results
with the Port Authority “USB Serial DB9”
For laptops, a PCMCIA
Direct.
