1. The problem with the serial cable
The serial cable is not properly connected. (See page 17)
The serial cable you are using is not provided by us. (The Plusdeck2c uses 1:1
direct communication. The crossly connected serial cable will not work with the
Plusdeck2c.)
The pin in the serial cable has been bent.
2. The problem with the serial port
The serial port is already in use by other device.
- Other program (including previously installed program) may be blocking the
serial port. This program must be removed.
The serial port is set to disable at the BIOS setup.
- Change the setting to auto or enable.
3. Others
When there is no power supplied
When multiple Plusdeck2c software’s were launched
When the serial port has gone bad
Software will not run
Problem / Solution
If the serial port is not available or out of order, a PCI
RS232 expansion card can be used to make an additional
serial port. An unknown serial port problem may go
away if you use a PCI RS232 card.
