The Computer
Your KAM’98 can work with any computer that can communicate with it
through a standard RS-232C serial modem port.
Technical note: You need to be sure the wiring is as shown in the installation sec
-
tion below. You may, of course, make your own cable; make sure it is correctly wired
and shielded.
To install your KAM’98 using “Pacterm 2.0”, the DOS-based terminal communi
-
cation software that ships with the KAM’98 (on the 3.5 in. “Information and Pro
-
gram” disk), you need the following:
• Computer: A PC (IBM) compatible, XT or above
• Operating System: MS-DOS or PC-DOS version 3.3 or higher
+ Software other than Pacterm 2.0 may require another operating sys-
tem. For example, Pacterm’98 is for use with Windows 95/98/NT.
• RAM (Random Access Memory): A minimum of 384 K
• Disk drives: A 3.5 ” High Density (1.44MB) floppy drive
• Hard drive: (optional) You do not need to use a hard drive with the
“Information and program” disk or other communication program. If you
want to gain speed and convenience by using your hard drive, be sure
you have enough space available to store the program used to
communicate with the KAM’98 and/or space to store the files you want
to use from the “Information and Program” disk.
•
Serial (COM) Port: The KAM’98 can communicate with the computer
using any serial (COM) port. The software used in the initial installation
of your system (i.e., Pacterm 2.0) uses COM2 by default or COM1 if you
wish. If you use other communication software, you can use any COM
port that your communication software supports.
Note: If you are not sure how to determine what serial (COM) ports you
have, or how to make COM1 or COM2 available for use with the KAM’98,
see your computer documentation and/or dealer.
