The ID 40/SLK interacts with the computer as the host of a network connection
between two PCs with the serial communication cable. This connection is used to
run the standardized PPP (point-to-point protocol) known from modem connections,
which supports the TCP/IP network protocol. This is basically a network connection
to the ID 40/SLK.
The requirements for this kind of connection are met by the aforementioned
Windows versions, so no additional driver software is required.
The following chapters describe how to set up and configure the network connection
to the ID 40/SLK. This only has to be done once on the computer, similar to installing
a modem.
10.3 Setting up the network connection to the ID 40/SLK
To set up the connection to the SLK, first use the Phone and Modem options, then
the Network and Sharing Center in the Windows 7 Control Panel.
If you are using Windows XP, use the New Connection Wizard. If you are using
Windows 2000, use the Network Connection Wizard. Both tools have similar
functions and only differ somewhat in appearance.
The following instructions describe setting up a computer running Windows 7. The
installation information is only available in English.
10.3.1 Setting up the connection via serial cable
In Windows 7 it is used to install a Modem that uses a serial COM port, and not the
real modem possibly built in your computer. To install it, open the Control Panel and
select the Phone and Modem entry
