Using a PC Running Terminal Emulation Software
A variety of terminal emulation programs can be used to establish a
serial connection to the module. The following instructions describe
how to establish the initial serial connection to the module using a PC
running Windows 95 HyperTerminal software. Future connections to
the module can use this same configuration by clicking the icon added
to the initial screen when the configuration is saved.
Important: If you are not using Windows 95 HyperTerminal, steps to
establish a serial connection may vary from the following steps.
1. Connect a 1203-SFC serial cable to your PC’s serial port and then
to the RS-232 serial port on the module.
