Port Error with Rikaline GPS-6010/ XDA II

Hi there,

I have an XDA II, TTN3 and the Rikaline 6010. In the past this set up has worked wondefully without any problems.

However i have recently had to completely reinstall everything after having not used any of it for a few months. Here are the frustrating problems i have, and really really hope someone can help me make use of the expensive equipment i have bought!

When going into TomTom GPS settings, i select my Rikaline in the top box, and choose serial COM1 in the second box.

This brings up an error: Cannot open COM1: Port does not exist.

So i then tried WinFast Navigator, to check if maybe the port was wrong. None of the ports seem to work. Furthermore, whenever i click Port Settings, i get multiple errors saying "Cannot find value". IF i try to select COM1, it brings up another error such as "Cannot open COM1".

Now at first i thought maybe the the GPS receiver was a problem. But it actually does blink as if it was receiving signals.

I hope someone can share a few ideas.

The only problem seems to be the port problem. Is there any way to find out exactly what port i should be using? (i use wired gps which connects to my PDA in the activeSync port).

Thanks to anyone who can help

You need to turn off IR beams on the XDA - though I can't remember exactly how that's done.

I don't have an XDA to try it, but try Start Menu, Settings, Connections tab, Beam - and see what you can switch off there.
