Connecting a Serial Device

The optional add-on backplate contains a serial port that you can use to connect a modem or serial device to SunPCi. This serial port is assigned to COM1. Figure 4–2 shows the location of the serial port on the backplate.

To use the serial port, connect the serial cable from your device to the COM port on the add-on backplate. If you need to install any additional drivers for the device you want to use, have the software diskette or CD handy and use the corresponding Control Panel to install the drivers. For more information on connecting and using the serial device, refer to the documentation that came with your serial device.
