OPTIMOD-AM DIGITAL INSTALLATION
2-45
If you want to communicate through a pair of modems, use the Windows Dial-Up
networking service to make the connection.
You must install the appropriate communications services in Windows (if they
are not already installed) before you can run 9300 Remote software. You may
therefore need to have access to the Windows install disk(s) — or have their im-
age copied onto your computer’s hard drive — before you attempt to use the
9300 PC Remote application.
Regardless of whether your PC communicates to the 9300 through its se-
rial port or Ethernet connector, it uses the ppp and the TCP/IP protocols
to communicate with the 9300.
Check Hardware Requirements
To connect your PC to your 9300, regardless of the method you choose, you will
need the following:
Orban 9300 OPTIMOD-AM.
If connecting by serial cable: a null modem cable (also called a “reverse” cable). This
cable has DB9 female connectors at both ends for connecting the 9300 to the se-
rial port on your computer. If your computer has a DB25 connector, you will need
to obtain an adapter.
If connecting by modem: a 3Com / U.S. Robotics® 56kbps fax modem EXT and nor-
mal (not null) modem cable for the 9300 side of the connection. Note that Orban
Customer Service does not support any other type of modem for connecting to
the 9300.
If connecting by network: a standard Ethernet cable (with RJ45 connectors) to con-
nect to a network hub or router, or a crossover Ethernet cable to connect directly
to your PC’s Ethernet jack.
PC running Windows 2000 (SP3 or higher)/XP/Vista/7.
9300 PC Remote will not run on older Windows versions.
