NOTE:
1. IF USING AN EXISTING HYPERTERMINAL
CONNECTION YOU MAY NEED TO UNCHECK THE

12. Verify that you have a connection between the computer
and the Protocol Adapter. Have the Protocol Adapter
within eyesight of the computer keyboard. Type any
character and confirm that the “RS-485, Data, TX” LED
and the “RS-232, Data, RX” LED (see DIAGRAM 6 on
page 10) on the Protocol Adapter flash as you type. The
LEDs flash very quickly.
13. Press Enter to clear the command line.
Note: On Windows ’98 computers, HyperTerminal does
not echo typed characters (doesn’t show them on the
screen as you type) locally. Do not be concerned. This
can be a little confusing, but does not affect the checkout
of the thermostat communication system.
• If you were unable to verify a connection, specify a
different com port. Go to the File pull down menu, and
select Properties. Change the “Connect using:” setting
to a different port by using the pull down menu options.
Start typing and look for the Protocol Adapter LEDs to
flash. Repeat until you have successfully verified
connection between the computer and communication
system, or until you run out of com ports to choose from
in the “Connect using:” pull down. If there is still no
communication you are going to have to consult a
computer professional.
