Connecting to the Install Profiler

When the PC-IP Software is opened, it automatically opens a data link with the Install Profiler providing the Install Profiler is connected to the PC via the serial cable and turned on.

The Install Profiler should be connected to the PC using the straight-through serial cable provided with the Install Profiler. Note that this is a straight-through cable and not a null modem cable.

Note: Any other programs that utilize the serial port should be closed to prevent conflicts between programs using the same resources.

Clicking on any of the Setup icons and clicking on Get will check the connection to the Install Profiler. If the connection is not established an error message will be displayed (Figure 3-3).

Figure 3-3

If a connection is not established, an error message will not occur until you try to send information to or receive information from the Install Profiler. If the PC-IP software fails to communicate with the Install Profiler, an error message is generated.
