Complete the following steps to connect the TA128 to your
computer:
1.
Turn off the power to your computer.
2.
Connect the male end of the 25 pin cable to serial port1.
3.

pin serial connector, you will need to use a 25 pin to 9 pin
converter (9 pin female to 25 pin male). If you have another
type of serial port connector, such as on the Macintosh, you
will need a special cable for the connection.
4.
Once the connection is made, turn the computer back on.
