Troubleshooting Potential HyperTerminal Flash
Problems

Description

Corrective Action

“Transfer Cancelled by Remote
System” message appears and the
Flash is not completed.

• Restart HyperTerminal and repeat the Flash

procedure.

• If you are using Windows NT 4.0, install SP3

or later. Windows NT service packs are
available from the Microsoft web site:
http://www.microsoft.com.

• Download a HyperTerminal Private Edition

update from the Hilgraeve web site:
http://www.hilgraeve.com.
(Please note that there is a license
requirement with this software.) Then, perform
the Flash procedure again.

The “Xmodem File Send” for dialog
box appears, but the Flash file is not
transferred.

• Verify that you have selected the Xmodem

protocol in the Send file dialog box.

• Verify that the new file is on your hard disk. Do

not attempt to Flash from a floppy disk or a
network.

• Verify that you are sending the file within 60

seconds of pressing “Y” to confirm that you
want to perform the Flash.

After completing a Flash, you are
unable to communicate with the serial
converter module. For example,
meaningless text appears on the
HyperTerminal screen.

Set the serial port rate to 9600. If parameters are
changed during a Flash update, all parameters
are set to their default settings.
