Next the user is prompted to set the converter’s

Parity. Options here are None, Odd or Even.

“Esc” skips this selection leaving the current setting unchanged.

Then the user is prompted to change Stop bits.

Options here are 1 or 2.

Pressing “Esc” skips this selection leaving the current setting unchanged.

The user is then asked if they wish to Apply the new settings immediately. If settings are not immediately applied, the changes will only take effect after the converter has had it’s power cycled.

This is to minimise the disruption to the device configuration by having to reconfigure the terminal application after changing each setting.

If you have changed any communications parameters, and wish to continue to access the configuration menu, you will need to update your terminal applications settings. The easiest method of performing this in HyperTerminal is to close and re-start the application, setting the new parameters during the initial application configuration.
