Components

required:
MAXPage Windows software disk
Straight through serial lead. (DB9M -> DB9F/DB25F)
PC with a spare serial port
Installation of Software
1. Insert the supplied CD into your CDROM drive on your PC.
2. Browse the contents of the CD then run the file “Maxpage.exe” from within the “Maxpage” folder.
3. Follow the instructions in the installer wizard.
Connecting the Serial Lead
To connect MAXPage to an IBM PC with the Windows MAXPage software installed, follow the directions below:
1. Connect the DB9/DB25 female end of the serial lead to one of the PC’s free serial ports.
2. Connect the DB9 male end of the serial lead to the connector on the rear panel of the MAXPage.
3. Power up both the PC and the MAXPage unit.
NOTE: Serial ports are usually DB9 Male plugs on the back of the PC. The programming lead plugs straight into
this type of connector. Most PC’s also label this connector with something similar to COM 1 or COM 2. Take note
of this label, as this information is required when using the MAXPage Software.
NOTE: Some PC’s do not have 9 pin serial ports but rather 25 pin male connector serial ports. This different sized
port can still be used but requires a DB9Male -> DB25Female adapter.
