1.7.6 To echo commands
The commands you type do not appear in the HyperTerminal window, unless you set the HyperTerminal
up to do so. Only the response from the S-Link is displayed. If you prefer to see the commands you are
typing, on the HyperTerminal window click the File menu and execute the following sequence:
File → Properties → Settings (tab) → ASCII setup → select “Echo typed characters locally” → OK
1.7.7 Test the connection
In the HyperTerminal window type *VER, press

ENTER. If the response you receive tells you the
version of your S-Link, you are successfully connected and ready for serial command action.
1.7.8 HyperTerminal settings shortcut
When you end the session, HyperTerminal asks you if you want to save your settings. To avoid re-
entering the communication parameters, save them by clicking yes. The next time you execute the string
of commands shown in section 3.2.2 above, the name of your session will appear after HyperTerminal.
Clicking on the session name opens the connection using the saved settings. To avoid re-entering the
string of commands, put a shortcut to this file on your desktop:
Find the file name, right click on it and select Shortcut in the drop down menu.
