Andrew,
 
Good advice,  but the braille display supplier should know
this!

Hi,

 

The trick here is to find out which COM port the USB to
serial lead has assigned itself to.  It probably won't be
COM1.

 

Go into device manager, and go into the ports section, and
in there you will see the USB adapter listed as a specific
COM port.  You then need to instruct JFW to use this port
rather than COM1 (default).

 

Thanks.

Andrew.

Subject: [access-uk] USB to Serial Cable 

 

Hi,

I have just purchased a new PC which does not have any
serial ports on it.  I am running a powerbraille and have
just purchased a USB to serial lead, which I was advised to
do from the company I bought the braille display from.
However, I cannot get it to work.

 

I have installed the software as directed, e.g. plugging in
the USB and letting the PC find the drivers, which it did.
I was informed installation was complete and pressed finish.

 

I am still unable to get any Braille on the display.  I have
restarted the PC, plus Jaws several times, but still no
Braille.

 

Do I need some drivers for Jaws or something like that.

 

Any help much appreciated, as I am now stuck!

 

Sharon
