Connecting by cable

When you connect two computers by LapLink cable, attach the cable—serial, parallel, or USB - to both computers and start LapLink on both computers. No separate cable driver installation is required. Autoconnect, the default setting for cable connections, opens a connection automatically. To manually connect, click the Connect Over button on the LinkBar, and then click Cable.

NOTE USB-to-serial adapter or gender- changing devices of any kind are not sup- ported for use with LapLink Gold Corpo- rate!

The blue LapLink serial cable has two connectors at one end, but only one connector is attached at a time: Use the larger connector if one of the computers has an older 25-pin serial port. Otherwise, attach one of the smaller connectors to each computer.

Attach one end of the yellow LapLink parallel cable to a parallel port on each computer.

Only available for WIn95/98/ME

Attach one end of the gold LapLink USB cable to a USB port on each
