b.Make sure that have a good cable connection between your serial device and the Serial Device Server. If possible, try a different cable.

c.Make sure that the cable pinouts are correct. In order to communicate properly, the transmit data line on the Serial Device Server must be connected to the receive data line on your serial device, and the receive data line on the Serial Device Server must be connected to the transmit data line on your serial device. Modem signals, if any, must also be connected so that input signals are connected to output signals and vice-versa. Refer to the cable diagrams in Chapter 2 of this manual.

d.Try printing a test page (if your serial device is not capable of directly displaying ASCII character output from the Serial Device Server’s serial port, then disconnect the device and connect a serial printer or terminal to the Serial Device Server). If the test page prints OK, then the serial port on the Serial Device Server is working properly. If it does not print, then double check steps 3a, 3b, and 3c.
