3)After starting Hyper Terminal, a Connection Description window will pop-up. It will require that you name your connection.Enter a name for your new connection (example: CM16a) and click OK to continue.

4)Next, Hyper Terminal needs to know how to “talk” to the CM16a. This selection depends on which port on your PC the null-modem cable is connected.

Ignore the first three entry fields (phone number information) and go directly to the “Connect using:” entry field and click on the down arrow for the drop- down menu selection.

Select the appropriate port (COM1 is used in this example) and click OK to continue. The Properties window should appear next.

5)The Properties window for the selected COM port should now be active. It should be similar in appearance as the example to the right.

For the Port Settings, use the following information so communica- tion between the CM16a and the computer is in the same “language”.
