_________________________________________________________________
II. Trouble Shooting
1. Parallel Cable Connection
If you have configured TranXit to communicate over a parallel
cable, and the New Window Button is not enabled (this button
is enabled when a connection is established), check the
following:
a. Make sure the that both the local and remote
computers have selected a parallel cable connection
in Connection/Setup.
b. If the connection is intermittent, make sure the
cable is securely fastened to the parallel port.
c. Verify that there are no conflicts with other
hardware devices such as sound cards or
network adapters. The default IRQ setting
for many sound cards is IRQ 7. This is
also the IRQ that is used for communication
over LPT1. Consult your adapter
documentation for changing the default IRQ
on these boards.
d. If you have selected LPT2, the default IRQ on the I/O
communication adapter may not be set to IRQ 5. Try
selecting IRQ 7 from the Change Connection Settings
in the Connection Setup dialog box, or consult the
I/O adapter documentation for changing the IRQ for
LPT2 to IRQ 5. If you have a bus mouse, it may be
set to IRQ 5. If the mouse freezes after configuring
TranXit for LPT2, there is an IRQ conflict. Consult
your mouse hardware documentation for changing the
default IRQ.
e. If your computer has more than one parallel port,
make sure the cable is attached to the correct port.
f. When connecting to a slower computer, Pentium to 386,
you may need to start TranXit on the slower computer
first.
g. The parallel cable must be LapLink(R) compatible and
have male DB-25 connectors at both ends. If you are
not using a LapLink parallel cable, make sure the
cable is configured with the following pin
connections:
25 Pin 25 Pin
------- -------
Pin 2 <---> Pin 15
Pin 3 <---> Pin 13
Pin 4 <---> Pin 12
Pin 5 <---> Pin 10
Pin 6 <---> Pin 11
Pin 15 <---> Pin 2
Pin 13 <---> Pin 3
Pin 12 <---> Pin 4
Pin 10 <---> Pin 5
Pin 11 <---> Pin 6
Pin 25 <---> Pin 25 (Ground-Ground)
2. Infrared Connection
If you have configured TranXit to communicate with an infrared
connection, and you do not get a New Window button (this is
enabled when a connection is established), check the
following:
a. Make sure that both the local and remote
computers have selected the proper infrared
connection in Setup/Connection.
b. There must be no obstacles blocking the line of
sight between the infrared adapters.
c. The adapters should be placed away from any light or
electromagnetic source. These can include such item
as wireless headphones, halogen desk lamps, and even
computer monitors.
d. When connecting to a slower computer, Pentium to 386,
you may need to start TranXit on the slower computer
first.
e. Some notebook computers use the Windows loadable
device driver POWER.DRV for power conservation. If
you are experiencing trouble connecting to a remote
computer, and you have tried all of the above steps,
set the Power Management list box setting in the
Power Control Panel Applet to "Standard" or "Off."
f. If the message "Error establishing connection. Please
verify the port settings in connection setup."
appears, it is possible that the infrared device could
not be initialized properly. Restart TranXit after
checking the following:
- Make sure the correct infrared model has been
selected in connection setup.
- If using an infrared dongle connected to the
serial port, make sure the cable is securely
fastened to the serial port. If the dongle
requires an external power source, insure
the power source is properly attached.
III. Other Issues
1. Remote Window not Updating
When deleting files in single or multi-level directories from
Local System on Remote System, after delete process has
completed occasionally the Remote Window is not updated and
continues to display the directories which have previously
been deleted. If this happens simply close the Remote
Window and OPEN a New Remote Window. The New
Remote Window will reflect any changes that were made.
