Set-up a Connection via Serial Interface under Windows 2000
After installation of the software, the »Connection PC/Notebook to the Device« has to be configured once, so
that you are able to read device data or re-write them into the device by means of the software
Smart view.
For connection of your PCs/notebooks with the device you need a special
zero-modem cable (no serial cable!/please refer to chapter »Zero Modem
Cable«).
If your PC/notebook does not have a serial interface, you need a special
USB-to-serial-adapter.
Only if the
USB-to-serial-adapter
is correctly
installed - aided by the provided CD – the communication with the device
can be established. (see next chapter).
The connection Notebook/PC to the device must not be
protected/encrypted via a smartcard.
If the network connection wizard asks you, to encrypt the connection via a
smartcard or not, please choose »Do not use the smartcard«.
