- WELCOME TO PSIWIN 2
- ********************
- Now that you have completed the installation, you can connect your Psion and PC and
- start using PsiWin.
-
- Getting started quickly with PsiWin 2.1
- =======================================
- 1) Plug the larger connector on the Docking Cable into one of your PC's COM
- ports, and the smaller one into the serial port on the Series 5.
-
- Important: If you have a serial device (e.g. a modem or serial mouse) attached to your
- PC COM port, it is a good idea to tell PsiWin to ignore that COM port. See
- 'Selecting which COM port to use' below for more information.
-
- 2) In the Series 5's System screen, select the "Remote link" command from the
- Tools menu.
-
- 3) Set the Link to "Cable" and the Baud rate to 115200.
-
- 4) Double-click the My Psion icon on the Desktop. PsiWin will automatically
- connect to your Series 5 and display icons representing its disks.
-
- 5) For a brief guide to PsiWin 2.1 features, click the Help menu and select Help Topics.
- Open the "Quick guide to PsiWin" topic.
-
- Selecting which COM port to use
- ===============================
- Usually, it does not matter which COM port on your PC you use to connect your
- Psion. PsiWin will quickly check each port in turn in order to find a connected Psion.
-
- Some devices may be using the COM port in such a way that PsiWin is not able to
- establish a connection with a Psion. This may happen if you have certain modems or a
- serial mouse attached to your PC, and also if your PC has
- internal devices which can access the COM port (e.g. an internal modem).
- If this happens, it may not be possible for PsiWin to connect, or the
- connection may be very slow.
-
- It is a good idea to tell PsiWin to ignore some ports so that conflicts
- with other devices do not occur.
- To do this:
- 1) Right-click the My Psion icon in the Desktop and click Properties.
- 2) Select the Connections tab. Uncheck any boxes in the Settings dialog for the
- COM ports used by other devices. Make sure that you check the boxes for any ports
- that you might use to connect a Psion.
-
- Note: If you are unsure which COM ports are in use on your PC, check the port
- settings using the System icon in the Windows Control Panel.
-
- On-line Help & manual
- =====================
- PsiWin Help is also available from the Help menu in Windows Explorer (if you
- currently have a Psion file or folder selected) and from the Programs list on
- the Start menu. If you prefer paper-based documentation you can print out
- the whole of the Help text as a "User Manual".
