Q.
The following message is displayed when I turn on the emulator: "Communication error".
A.
Please confirm the cause of the error according to the type of interface used.
USB Interface Connection (PC4701U)
Is the USB interface cable correctly connected between Emulator PC4701 and the host machine?
❍
Is the interface selection switch on PC4701 set to "USB"?❍
Is the emulator debugger interface set to "USB"? Confirm the contents of the environment setup file (.ini).❍
Check the device manager to make sure the host machine recognizes the USB driver (musbdrv.sys).❍
1.
LPT Interface Connection (PC4701U or PC4701M)
Is the LPT parallel interface cable correctly connected between PC4701 and the host machine?
❍
Is the interface selection switch on PC4701 set to "LPT Parallel"?❍
Is the emulator debugger interface set to "LPT"? Confirm the contents of the environment setup file (.ini).❍
Does the type and I/O address of the LPT parallel interface in the emulator debugger match the host machine?❍
2.
LAN Interface Connection (PC4701U)
Is the 10BASE-T cable correctly connected between PC4701 and the hub?
❍
If PC4701 and the host machine are connected directly, make sure you are using a 10BASE-T cross cable.❍
Is the interface selection switch on PC4701 set to "LAN"?❍
Is the emulator debugger interface set to "LAN"? Confirm the contents of the environment setup file (.ini).❍
Did you shut down and then restart PC4701 after setting the IP address?❍
When setting up the host machine and PC4701 in separate networks, make sure you set the gateway in the OS.❍
Make sure that the gateway IP address you register in PC4701 is the correct gateway for PC4701.❍
3.
LAN Interface Connection (PC4701HS)
Is the LAN interface cable correctly connected?
❍
Is the interface selection switch on PC4701 set to "LAN"?❍
When you use Ethernet, the 10Base-5 connection should connect the Ethernet cable to the transceiver through a
transceiver cable, and the 10Base-T connection should connect it to the hub. When using a 10Base-T relay adapter to
lengthen the cable, make sure the adapter and cable are connected.
❍
Make sure the IP address, port number, and subnet mask are set correctly. Confirm with your LAN system
administrator.
❍
Is the emulator debugger interface set to "LAN"? Confirm the contents of the environment setup file (.ini).❍
4.
Parallel Interface Connection (PC4701HS,PC4701L,PC4700H,PC4700L)
Is the parallel cable correctly connected between PC4701 and the host machine?
❍
Is the interface selection switch on PC4701 set to "PARALLEL"?❍
Is the emulator debugger interface set to "parallel"? Confirm the contents of the environment setup file (.ini).❍
Is the parallel interface board set correctly? The problem may be caused by a collision of I/O addresses created by a
board in your PC having the same address as the parallel interface board (PCA4202G02 for IBM PC/AT or PCA4201
for PC-9800 series). Refer to the interface board instructions for more details.
❍
5.
Serial Interface Connection
Is the serial cable correctly connected between PC4701 and the host machine?
❍
