Joseph,
I know this sounds weird. But I need the socket with pins to go into my
computer. So, I have both a 9 and 25 port that need the socket with pins to
go into it. What do I do?

Sharondha,
A male plug is the socket with pins, where as a female plug is the socket
with holes. If we assume that you have one VGA (a female socket that looks
like a serial port), a parallel port (the famous port), and the regular
serial port (male socket), then you might want to connect the serial cable
that came with your unit into the male socket, and connect the other end
to
the serial port on your unit.

Joseph,
Thanks for getting me straight. Smile.
Well I need a male side to go into my computer because both the ports on
my
PC are female. Do they make such an adapter?
Or with this USB converter, do you think my BN will work as a Braille
display? Thanks for all help.

Sharondha,
The serial port on your unit must be a male plug, and the other end must
be
male as well. The port that is female on the PC end, but it has same
appearance as serial port, is the VGA monitor port. The serial cable that
came with your unit is a female cable, where it has female plugs on both
ends. Somebody also mentioned a USB to RS232 (serial) adapter a few days
ago
(I've forgot about it).

Setting up the Braille display (Terminal for Screen Readers) is in 2.9 of
the manual. I am very aware how to set it up. However, my question has to
do
with the serial adapter and/or converting serial to USB and the display
still working. This is not covered, as far as I can see. Thanks for all
help.

Brendon, Sharondha, and others,
Brendon, just for your information: before we use any software or
hardware,
we ned to configure to meet our demands. At this situaiton, if you are
using
a screen reader, you need to tell the screen reader (there should be a
place
to do it) that you want the screen reader to output the display to your
BrailleNote. And then you connect the cable, and you tell the
BrailleNote
that you wish to go to terminal for screen reader.

Hi all,
I want to use my BN as a braille display for my computer. I have so
questions.
1. My Serial port on my computer is a male, like the one on the BN. Is
there
such a thing to change the cord that came with the BN to work with a 25
female serial port? (If I'm wrong about male/female, let me know) 2.
Could
I
buy a serial to USB converter and my BN work as a braille display?
3. If so, what kind should I look for?
Thanks for writing back with all help.
Take care,
Sharonda & Rusty
