Serial connection To make a serial port connection: 1. Locate the serial port on your computer, usually found at the back of your computer. Note: Usually, it does not matter which serial port you use to connect to your R380. R380 Communications Suite quickly checks each port in turn to find a connected R380. If connection problems arise, see "Troubleshooting" on page 225. 2. Plug the 9-pin connector on the cable into your computer serial port, and the Ericsson connector, with the logo facing upward, into the interface at the bottom of your R380. Note: You should not have to apply force when inserting the connector into the port on your R380. If you have difficulty connecting the cable to your R380, you may be attempting to insert the connector upside down. 3. Your computer now attempts to establish contact with your R380. Note: The Ericsson RS232 cable supports the following five signals in the RS232 standard: Tx, Rx, CTS, RTS, GND. If you experience any problem with your connection, please go to Sony Ericsson Mobile Internet at: http://wap.sonyericssonmobile.com for further information and support. 218 R380 Communications Suite
