When you run the TalkSwitch software, you will need to select ‘PC Connection’ to select Serial as the connection then select the COM port associated to this physical Serial port on your PC.
Make sure you do not have any other communications programs running at the same time you want to use the TalkSwitch configuration software. These may include Palm Pilot, Hot Sync, TalkWorks, Digital Camera software. These programs tend to ‘hold’ onto COM ports and not make them available for any other programs.
