NOTE 1:  
The AL-PCI2 is fully RS-232 compliant and will function prop-
erly with a computer that has an RS-232 compliant serial Com 
Port.  However, many new notebook computers do not provide 
the proper RS-232 compatible Com Port voltage levels re-
quired by the AL-PCI2.  In these cases, the AL-PCI2 may not 
function properly.  
 
To test a serial Com Port for AL-PCI2 compatibility, attach the 
AL-PCI2 to the Com Port and run the DL-Windows loop-back 
test.  If the loop-back test fails, the Com Port is most likely not 
RS-232 complaint.  
 
For new computers with non-RS232 compliant Com Ports, it is 
recommended that the AL-PCI2 be connected to the com-
puter’s USB port.  Obtain a USB converter (MX1130) from 
Alarm Lock Systems. The MX1130 has been fully tested by 
Alarm Lock for use with the AL-PCI2.
