∙Verify that your serial port is functioning properly. You can use any standard Windows communications program to ensure the port is functioning. Examples of these are ProComm, Windows 3.1 Terminal or Windows 95/98/NT HyperTerminal.

Exit all programs (including the EventView program) and connect the Optical Interface Cable to the port. Run the communications software and set the local echo to “off” and hardware flow control to “none”. If you are using HyperTerminal, choose a direct connection to the port. Open the port with the communications software. Any alphanumeric character you type on the keyboard should cause the optical interface to flash, and the character to appear on the screen.

If the optical interface does not flash when you type, disconnect it and use a piece of wire to connect serial port pins 2 and 3 together. Any alphanumeric character you type on the keyboard should appear on the screen. If no characters appear, the port may be broken or incorrectly configured. If characters appear, your Optical Interface Cable may be broken.

If the optical interface flashes when you type, it should also work with EventView software. Exit the communications program, and re-start the
