Enfora Observer IV ユーザーズマニュアル

This utility will configure a desktop computer to make a connection with its serial port to the 
Observer Camera.  This utility only sets the parameters for the connection, it does not actually 
establish the link with the camera.   
 
First, select an unused serial port on the back of the computer (also 
referred to as a COM port).  Inspect the back of the computer for a 
spare 9 pin serial port, probably labeled COM1 or COM2.  Newer 
computers have less available COM ports then the older ones.  If 
there aren’t any spare ports, purchase a USB to RS-232 converter 
from the local computer store.  This will convert a USB port into the 
RS-232 ports used for communicating with the Observer. 
 
 
 
Place the CD that accompanied the Observer 

into the CD drive on the 

computer.  Find and click on the “InstallObserver.exe” file.  Click on the Install button on the 
window that appears.  Perform the following instructions. 
 

1)  A window titled “Phone and Modem Options” will appear showing which drivers (if any) 

are installed on which COM ports. 

 

2)  If there any modem drivers attached to the spare COM port that you have selected for 

connection to the Observer they will have to be removed.  A COM  port can only have 
one active driver 

 

3)  Highlight the old drivers by clicking on it then click on “Remove” at the bottom of the 

window. 

 

4)  Answer yes to the question “Are you sure you want to remove the selected modem from 

your system?”. 

 

5)  Once all the drivers have been removed from the selected COM port, click on “Add” to 

add the appropriate driver for the Observer camera. 

 

6)  An “Install New Modem” window will appear. 

 

7)  At the bottom of this window select the box “Don’t detect my modem, I will select it 

from a list” then click ‘Next’. 

 

8)  A new window will appear, listing a variety of modems and manufacturers. 

 

9)  On the left hand list, make sure “Standard Modem Types” is highlighted and on the right 

hand list select Standard 56000 bps K56Flex modem (any of the 56000 bps modems will 
work). Then click Next. 

 

10) In the next window select “Selected Ports” and highlight the COM port you wish to 

connect to the Observer in the list below by clicking on it.   Click ‘Next’ then ‘Finish’.
