2 Checking the Top Panel LEDs
Once you have completed all of the installation steps above, turn on the TA.
The TA starts performing system testing, where you should see a series of
LED lights blinking. After this cycle is complete, the PWR and CTS LEDs
should stay on.
If the system testing fails, the LNK LED flashes.
If you have a communication program loaded and active (connected to the
same serial port as your TA), the DTR LED should be on after the system
testing. See your User’s Guide for detailed LED descriptions.
3 Driver Installation
Follow the steps below to install the TA driver that comes with the included
CD. Screens for Windows XP are shown in this guide unless otherwise
specified. The steps in Windows XP refer to the classic start menu and classic
view.
Be sure your computer is already turned on before connecting the RS-232
cable from your TA to your computer. The plug and play function of
Windows detects your new device and shows an installation wizard as shown.
Your computer should automatically detect your new
hardware and display the installation wizard. If it does
not, you may go to Section 3.2 to install your driver
manually. If this does not work, disconnect the RS-232
