Psion Teklogix 32M/64M, netBook manual Selecting a COM port, Connecting with PsiWin

Selecting a COM port

PsiWin will search all your PC’s COM (or serial) ports to detect your netBook. When using peripherals such as modems (including internal modems) which use other COM ports on your PC, it is a good idea to set up PsiWin so that it does not search these ports. To do this:

1.Right-click on My Psion and select Properties from the menu.

2.Move to the Connections screen on the My Psion Properties dialog.

3.In the Settings list, uncheck any boxes for COM ports used by other devices. Make sure that you check the boxes for any ports you might use to connect a Psion.

Further help: See the on-line Help for more information on selecting which COM port to use.

Connecting with PsiWin

When you have connected the cable, PsiWin will automatically establish a connection between your PC and netBook. You can tell if your Psion is connected by glancing at the Connection icon on the Taskbar (next to the clock).

Your PC is connected to the Psion. When a connection is made, the icon will appear as a curved line, which changes to a ‘moving’ curved line when the PC and Psion are communicating.

Your PC has not detected the Psion. This icon is displayed if the Psion is not connected, has been switched off, or if you have selected the Disconnect option from the My Psion or Connection icon menus.

Further help: See the on-line Help for more information on how to connect and disconnect a Psion.
