Tips for Successfully Using the 1747-PIC 

The following tips and restrictions will help you operate the 1747-PIC successfully with PCs running RSLinx™ in Windows® 2000, Windows® XP and later operating systems.

COM1/COM2 Only

The 1747-PIC will only work with built-in COM1 and COM2 serial ports. It will not work with USB to serial adapters, serial port extender boards that add more COM ports or PCMCIA-format serial port cards, regardless of the operating system.

Infrared Ports

Infrared ports commonly share resources with the COM ports. If your computer has an infrared port, disable it to prevent resource conflicts.

Power Management

A power management system can prevent the 1747-PIC driver from using the resources it needs, if it engages while the 1747-PIC is in use. Disable power management functions to prevent this problem.
