Problems establishing a connection

I can’t establish a serial connection from my Newton device.

Device to Your Computer” in Chapter 1, “Getting Started.”

m Make sure you’ve selected the correct type of connection on your

computer. See “Preparing Your Computer” in Chapter 1.

device. See “Preparing Your Newton Device” in Chapter 1.

m If you can’t establish a connection or the connection drops unexpectedly,

check the communication speed set for your computer. Some computer

hardware cannot support the Newton Connection Utilities default

connection speed (38400 baud). See the Readme file that was installed

with the Newton Connection Utilities software for more information about

solutions to this problem.

I can’t select menu commands or click buttons in the Newton Connection Utilities

window.

Utilities until you establish a connection from your Newton device. See

“Establishing a Connection” in Chapter 1, “Getting Started.”

selected the correct type of connection on your computer. See Chapter 1,

“Getting Started.”

device. See “Preparing Your Newton Device” in Chapter 1.
