CONNECTION
• Connect the supplied dbx Null Modem cable between the computer's RS-232 port and
DriveRack's PC (RS-232) port. The cable must be wired like this:
Important Note! A straight through RS-232 cable will not work with the DriveRack.
CONFIGURATION 2
• Boot up your computer and launch the DriveWare software application. The icon of the
DriveRack 260 should automatically appear in the upper left-hand corner of the main
window (meaning you are online with the device). If the DriveRack 260 icon does not
appear, within DriveWare, go to File>Preferences.
• Here, you can tell DriveWare which COM port it needs to communicate through. Set
DriveWare's Port setting to match the computer's COM Port assignment number (see
'Configuration 1' section on facing page). Also, make sure the 'Automatically check for a
network connection' option is checked.
• Click the OK button.
• DriveWare will now prompt you to close the program. Go ahead and close then relaunch
the program. If the icon of the 260 still does not appear, check all connections and
settings.
