For example, if you have a Palm, you will have to tell the Palm Desktop
software to look for your
Palm handheld (
hardware
) on a Keyspan serial port. By doing this, you establish communication
between your serial device's
software
(ie the Palm Desktop software) and your serial device
hardware (the Palm handheld unit).
Most serial devices will have software that will allow you to select which serial port the device is
connected to. Depending on your serial device and its software, you may have to configure: a
Control Panel (ie modems accessing ISPs), an application (ie UPSes), or some combination of
these (ie modems accessing terminals using Zterm).
Please refer to your serial devices documentation on which method your serial device uses and how
to access that software's serial port "configuration" screen.
Once you've determined where to select or configure your serial device's software's serial port
settings, please proceed to
Step 5.

Determine Which Serial Port To Select In Your Serial Device's Software

At this point, you have to select the name or icon of the Keyspan serial adapter you are connecting
to. Please note that you can see the port name and icon port name of your Keyspan Serial Adapter
in the
Capabilities
section in this manual.
