DETEWE opencom 105 - Notes on Configuring the Serial Port

50
Configuration under Windows Configuration
with Testing the Setup starting
on page 52.
Note: It is not possible to operate a
network card and a remote data
transfer connection for the same net-
work address range simultaneously.
For this reason you must temporarily
deactivate the network card when
you want to establish a remote data
transfer connection. To do this, open
the “System” icon in the Control Panel
and deactivate the network card in
the “Devices” tab. If the PC is config-
ured via DHCP, you can instead also
disconnect the PC from the LAN and
reboot it.
Notes on Configuring the
Serial Port
A serial port is automatically de-
tected when the PC boots and the
corresponding system software is in-
stalled. The TCP/IP connection to the
OpenCom 100 is established by
means of additional system soft-
ware: the RAS adapter software and
the serial port driver.
Tip: The serial port that you use is
operated with the parameters
57,600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
no parity and no hardware data flow
control.
Note: The RAS network is always
installed under Windows 2000/XP
and cannot be uninstalled. The fol-
lowing section is only relevant for us-
ers of old Windows versions.
Installing the RAS Network under
Windows 95 or Windows 98
1. Open the Control Panel and dou-
ble-click on the “Software” icon.
2. Click on the “Windows Setup”
tab and double-click on the item
“Communications”.
3. Tick the check box next to the
component “RAS Network” and
confirm your entry with “OK”.
Installing the RAS under
Windows NT 4.0
1. Open the Control Panel and dou-
ble-click on the “Network” icon.
2. Select the “Services” tab and
click on the “Add” button.
3. Select “Remote Access Service”
from the list and confirm with
“OK”.
4. To conclude installation of the
RAS, the RAS “Properties” dia-
logue is displayed. Select the
driver “OpenCom Modem” that
was created on the first start of
the program “occonfig” and con-
firm this with “OK”.
5. Confirm the configuration with
the “Continue” button and close
the network settings.
