1. Cable connects to serial port. Just match the connectors, just like on a
Mac, only different shape.
2. Use NCU to select serial port. Usually labeled: "COM1, COM2" Also set
port speed. Try for 38,800 BAUD, if it doesn=B9t connect, try a lower speed.
Settings are in one of the menus on NCU. You need to launch it before
connecting, just like on a Mac.
3. In eMate dock select serial connection. Hook up cables and tap "Connect"
4. Interface is just like Mac NCU. Same choices.
5. Enjoy (Take a bottle of Windex with you.)
