Verifying a Serial Modem Connection

When attaching a modem to the serial (RS232) port, verify that the port assigned to your modem is Serial USB (COMx), where x is the number of the COM port.

If the operating system does not detect automatically that your modem is assigned to Serial USB (COMx), run the Hardware Wizard again and choose Select from the list instead of Autodetect. Then, select Serial USB (COMx) as the COM port.

Error Message on Your PDA

If the error message “Connection Not Established” appears on your PDA, check that the COM port setting in either your HotSync or ActiveSync software matches the setting on the docking station. See “Verifying Devices are Installed” on page 17 to verify the COM port setting on the docking station.

Some older versions of the Palm® Desktop software are not compatible with the USB to Serial conversion. Please contact your PDA vendor for software updates.

Video

Can I get a higher resolution on my monitor?

• No, resolution is set at 1024 x 768, 16-bit colour.

Can disk I/O functions such as, extensive reading and writing to an external hard drive or DVD, degrade video functionality?

Yes. Since all data has to pass through a single USB connection, you may notice some degradation of your video performance. Video performance will return when disk read/write decreases or stops.
