Terminal Program Settings
The default settings of the MMT162 serial interface are presented in
Table 4 on page 23. If the settings of your MMT162 have been changed
and you do not know what they are, refer to section Unknown Serial
Settings on page 49.
The steps below describe how to connect to the MMT162 using the
PuTTY terminal application for Windows (available for download at
www.vaisala.com ) and a USB serial interface cable:
1. Connect the USB serial interface cable between your PC and the
RS-485 port of the MMT162 (port II).
2. Start the PuTTY application.
3. Select the Serial settings category, and check that the correct COM
port is selected in the Serial line to connect to field.
Note: You can check which port the USB cable is using with the
Vaisala USB Instrument Finder program that has been installed
in the Windows Start menu.
4. Check that the other serial settings are correct for your connection,
and change if necessary. Flow control should be set to None unless
you have a reason to change it.
5. Click the Open button to open the connection window and start
using the serial line.
Note: If PuTTY is unable to open the serial port you selected, it
will show you an error message instead. If this happens, restart
PuTTY and check the settings.
6. You may need to set the Local echo setting to Force on in the
Terminal category to see what you are typing on the serial line. To
access the configuration screen while a session is running, click the
right mouse button over the session window, and select Change
Settings... from the pop-up menu.
