• Communications Port Limitations with the NT Support Tool

1) Version 4.00 and Earlier Versions

Only communications ports COM1 and COM2 can be used. Always change the

communications port allocation for this device to COM1 or COM2 in the Microsoft

Windows Device Manager (see note 1) and specify that port in the NT Support Tool's

communications settings. Once the communications port is specified correctly in the

Windows Device Manager and the NT Support Tool's communications settings, data

such as screen data can be downloaded to the PT or uploaded from the PT through the

USB-Serial Conversion Cable.

Note: In most personal computers, COM1 is allocated to the RS-232C port and

communications port COM2 can be allocated to the Conversion Cable. Refer to

Changing the Allocated Communications Port on page 38 for details on changing the

communications port. Furthermore, if there is another driver using the allocated port,

that driver must be uninstalled.

2) Version 4.60E and Later Versions

Any communications port between COM 1 and COM8 can be used. Check the NT

Support Tool's communications settings and verify that the communications port

allocated to the Conversion Cable is also specified in the NT Support Tool.
