Required Software

In order to send and receive data over the serial port (COM port) on your

computer to the module, you must use a communication program (terminal

emulator).
A simple communication program called HyperTerminal is pre-installed with

recent versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. If you are connecting

from a machine running DOS, you must obtain and install a compatible

communication program. The following table lists communication programs that

have been tested by ProSoft Technology.

DOS

ProComm, as well as several other terminal emulation programs

Windows 3.1

Terminal

Windows 95/98

HyperTerminal

Windows NT/2000/XP

HyperTerminal

The module uses the Ymodem file transfer protocol to send and receive

configuration files from your module. If you use a communication program that is

not on the list above, please be sure that it supports Ymodem file transfers.
