Question: I am connected to my modem with a null modem adapter. When I try to communicate, I hear, "Waiting on serial device". Answer: The Carrier Detect must be changed. It is low and must be made high. Try "at ampersand c1" from a PC, then "at ampersand w" to save the configuration. Question: My Braille Lite cable fits into my PC's serial port, but it will not communicate. Answer: If the cable that comes with your Braille Lite fits into your port with no adapters, then you probably have it in the parallel port. Serial ports are usually male, so you'll need a gender adapter. Question: I hear "File is full" and I'm hooked up to a computer with my modem, or a printer. Answer: If you're in duplex mode where material is stored and/or echoed back from the other device, and therefore appended to the end of your currently open file, you might run into a "File is full" error message. Turn off the serial port and check the file's contents, deleting any extraneous text. Also, it might help to change the duplex or Echo feature of the device in question. Question: My Braille Lite doesn't speak the last character it receives from the PC or bulletin board to which I'm connected with my modem. 166 Part# 440013-001 Rev. D
Answer: You need to set the Interactive Timeout parameter, normally set to 0 (or "off). Set this parameter from the Status Menu. Speech devices require specific signals - for example, carriage returns and spaces - in order to speak data they have received from another device. Occasionally, the final signal sent from an external device is not what the Braille Lite needs to see. For these cases, the Braille Lite produces a signal of its own. The interactive timeout parameter sets the amount of time that the Braille Lite waits before generating this signal. Enter the Status Menu with an ST-SIGN CHORD and write an X. You hear something like, "Interactive timeout, 0", which means "off". You can change the length of time the Braille Lite waits before issuing the signal to speak the data it has received from 1 to 255 tenths of a second. So setting it to 10 means that the Braille Lite waits one second before speaking data it has received. PRINTING QUESTIONS Question: When I try to print, my printer won't move to the next line. Answer: Add linefeed is off. If you turn this setting on, a linefeed character is sent to the printer with every line that is printed. Question: When I try to print, the Braille Lite says, "Waiting on serial device". Part# 440013-001 Rev. D 167
