Verify that “Connected” appears in the bottom left corner of the HyperTerminal window. If “Connected” is not present, click on the “Call” icon. “Connected” should display in the bottom left corner.
Power on or cycle power on the UltraMatrix switch and press the spacebar when the message, “Hit the spacebar within 5 seconds to get serial options menu” appears on your screen. The serial menu will appear after the diagnostic check completes. If unrecognizable characters appear, the baud rate set on the UltraMatrix switches serial port and the baud rate set on your computers COM port are not set to the same value. Disconnect from the UltraMatrix by clicking on the “Disconnect” ICON. Change the baud rate on your terminal or computers communication program from 9600 (set previously) to 57,600.
