10-6 Connecting to a PC

To change the Fax modem settings:

•Press Settings.

‚Select Connection type: Infrared (default, recommended)/ Cable.

The cable connection is intended for use with the communicator’s own PC connectivity appli-

cations for backup, file transfer, export/import and software installation purposes. The func- tionality of a cable connection when the com- municator is used as a fax modem is not guaranteed.

Connecting to a PC

To use the PC connectivity features found in the System application (such as File transfer, Backup /Restore, etc.), the Nserver connectivity software, provided on a diskette in the communicator sales package, must be running on your PC. The soft- ware requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 (or later) or Windows NT 3.51 (or later) and an available serial port. To use an infrared connection, your PC must be running Windows 95 with an IrDA compatible infrared port. See the readme.txt file on the dis- kette supplied in the communicator sales package for more information.

To install the connectivity software on your PC: Windows 3.1

•Insert the diskette in your disk drive.

‚In the Program Manager of your Windows, click on the “File” menu.

ƒClick on menu item “Run” and type a:\server\server in the command line.

„Press OK.

…Follow the instructions shown on the screen. If you do not want to change the installation directory, simply press OK when prompted.

Windows 95

•Insert the diskette in your disk drive.

‚In the Start menu, select “Run” and type a:\server\server in the command line.

ƒPress OK.

To establish a connection

The IrDA software (infrared driver) must be in- stalled and running on your PC in order to estab-

The default IrDA port for the software is COM4; however the physical port may be COM1 or COM2.

To establish an infrared connection:

•Make sure that the communicator’s infrared port faces the infrared port of the PC (or printer). Keep the infrared link clear – check the infrared indicators in the indicator area, (see Chapter 2 "Getting started: Indicators" on page 2-10). In the event the infrared link is obstructed for too long (for example, something is moved between the infrared sensors or the communicator is moved), the operation is interrupted.

‚Start the connectivity software (Nserver) on the PC. Check that the COM port reported by the connectivity software is correct.

To establish a serial cable connection (the RS-232 adapter cable is included in the sales package):

•Connect the adapter to the communicator (for instructions on how to do this, see Chapter 2 "Getting started: Connectors" on page 2-4).

‚Connect the 9-pin adapter end of the RS-232 cable to the COM port of the PC and the other end to the adapter (into the connector on the left side of the adapter).

ƒStart the connectivity software (Nserver) on the PC. Check that the COM port reported by the connectivity software is correct.

After the connectivity software is running and you have established a connection to the PC, you
