[Skip this step if you will not be using a modem connection.]
A) Navigate to S

B) Hold down the PC
CONNECT soft button and turn the knob until you see
D
IRECT on the display.
You are now ready to connect your computer to your 9300 through a null
modem cable connected to your computer’s serial port. Refer to Installing
9300 PC Remote Control Software on page 2-44.
Installing 9300 PC Remote Control Software
This section briefly summarizes the procedure for installing 9300 PC Remote soft-
ware on existing 9300s. If required, you will find more detailed instructions in the
.pdf file automatically installed on your computer by Orban’s installer program,
Setup9300_x.x.x.x.exe, where “x.x.x.x” represents the software version you are
installing. (For example, for version 1.0 software, this would be 1.0.0.0.)
The PC Remote software is supplied on a CD shipped with your 9300. You can also
download it from ftp.orban.com/9300
.
Instructions for using the PC Remote software are found in Section 3 of this manual.
Installing the Necessary Windows Services
The 9300 PC Remote application uses Windows’ built-in communications and net-
working services to deal with the low-level details necessary to communicate with
the 9300’s serial port. (These services are also used to upgrade your 9300’s firmware
when updates are available from Orban.) The exact process will vary, depending on
how you wish to set up the communications. That is:
If you want to communicate through a local PC without using an Ethernet network,
you have two choices:
Establish a connection between a serial (COM) port of the PC and the COM
port of your 9300 through a null modem cable and use Windows Direct Se-
rial Connect to make the basic connection.
Use a crossover Ethernet cable to communicate directly to your PC through
its Ethernet port.
In this case, you must set your computer’s Windows networking to pro-
vide a static IP address for your computer because your Optimod does
not contain a DHCP server.
