Quick Start Guide

Check Communications

Step 1: From the Windows Start menu, run HyperTerminal.

Step 2: Configure HyperTerminal to connect using the COM port configured in the last section (for example, Port 15).

Step 3: Set Baud Rate, Data/Parity/Stop, and Flow Control to match the configuration of the serial device connected to the Serial Server serial port.

Step 4: Communications with the serial device should now be operational.
