Installation
Mechanical Connections
Caution: Make sure that you have switched off the PC and the printer
before making connections.
Caution: Do not connect the PKD–1 key to the serial port. You may
damage your PKD–1 !
The software controls RAE–3 via a separate adapter connected to the serial port
of the PC, and to the phone bottom connector (DAU–9C cable).
Attach the dongle PKD–1 to the parallel port 1 (25–pin female D–connector) of the
PC. When connecting PKD–1 to the parallel port, be sure that you insert the com-
puter side of the PKD–1 to the PC (male side). If you use a printer on parallel port
1, install the PKD–1 between the PC and your printer cable.
The PKD–1 should not affect devices working with it. If some errors occur (errors
in printing are possible) please try printing without the PKD–1. If printing is OK with-
out the PKD–1 please contact your dealer. We will offer you a new PKD–1 in ex-
change for your old one.
The program is delivered on a diskette and is copy protected with a dongle PKD–1.
It must be present in parallel port when using Service software.
