After making the connections, if you experience problems, refer to the troubleshooting guide located on the CD. Determining which connections are available This section guides you through what connections are available with your operating system.

A USB connection is faster than an RS-232 serial connection, increasing the maximum data transfer rate to 12 Mb/sec. USB requires special computer hardware and software features, including a USB enabled motherboard, USB connections, and WINDOWS 98. Most computers manufactured prior to January 1997 do not meet these requirements. To determine if your computer supports a USB connection: 1 Verify that a USB connector is present.
