Using HyperTerminal

HyperTerminal is a program that comes with your Windows operating system as

an installable option. You can use it to connect to other computers, Telnet sites,

bulletin board systems (BBSs), online services, and host computers.

HyperTerminal connections are made using a modem, a null modem cable (used

to emulate modem communication), or an Ethernet connection. When installed,

HyperTerminal is typically found on the Accessories menu (Start > All

Programs > Accessories > Communications).
HyperTerminal is a useful tool for gathering information from the control panel

through an RS-232 port connection in order to troubleshoot system faults. The

information gathered can be saved as a plain text file (TXT extension) and

submitted electronically to technical support for evaluation.

Note:

To use HyperTerminal, you must have the optional SA-232 RS-232

Interface Card installed in the control panel. To avoid getting a printer trouble, set

the panel’s printer option to Unsupervised before connecting your computer to

the SA-232 card.

Setting up a HyperTerminal connection

Before you can gather information from the control panel you must set up a

HyperTerminal connection.

To set up a HyperTerminal connection:

1. Start HyperTerminal.
2. In the Connection Description dialog box, type a name for the connection in

the Name box then click OK.
