PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION
I have made hardware connections as shown in Figure
13. However, when attempting to learn IR commands,
the "Waiting for IR from your Remote" display times out
with the "No IR Recorded" dialog box.
Your computer is not recognizing or finding the serial port
connection to the MRC44.
Try the following in the order listed:
a) The default serial port selection (1) in Dragon
Drop may already be in use by another device in
your computer system (such as a mouse). Refer
to SERIAL PORT SELECTION, page 23, and
perform the procedure listed there.
b) The serial port connections may not be made
correctly to the mother board in your computer.
This is especially true if you are using a COM port
card that permits external connection of COM
ports 3 and 4. Have a competent computer
specialist check these items.
c) Check and replace, if necessary, the connecting
cables and the DB9-to-DB25 adapter.
d) The serial COM port settings, such as port
addressing and IRQ parameters, may not be set
correctly in Windows. Also, with Windows 98, port
4 may be selected instead of 2 in the automatic
port selection process (page 23), but not be
usable because port 4 is not addressed to a rear
panel connector.
Again, have a competent computer specialist check
these for you.
