If the eBeam application cannot "find" the eBeam pods, that could be due to faulty eBeam hardware, an improper cable connection, or a problem with the PC COM port.

This diagnostic series will deal only with COM port problems. At this point it is assumed that your hardware appears functional (i.e., pod LED and serial cable LED are lit) and connected properly. If you do not know if your hardware is connected correctly, please perform the Initial Diagnostic.

The top three COM port configuration problems are due to:

  1. Another serial device keeping the COM port open (e.g., infrared port, PalmPilot).
  2. The COM port is turned OFF in BIOS.
  3. The COM port is faulty.

As you can see, there are a wide variety of reasons why communications may not be established between the eBeam Capture Bar and the PC.
