So it's a direct serial-cable connection? So you'll have to fill in all
the blanks appropriately: com port, modem type is "direct", the appropriate
speed and parity, etc. Also you'll need the appropriate kind of cable,
probably a null-modem cable, with the necessary complement of wires and
jumpers. But we don't know what a PLV 102 is so you'll need to read its
interfacing instructions for guidance.
Once you have filled in all the blanks in the Dialer, you can highlight
the entry and click on CONNECT. If it seems to start up and then go away
again immediately, it probably means your cable is not wired correcly.
In which case you can try going to the Serial page and unchecking Carrier
Detection.
The documentation is full of chapters explaining all this stuff.
