using Hyper Terminal on a computer running a
Windows operating system,

Note
In serial port sessions, there is no prompt on
the line below the word
Ready . Begin typing
commands in the blank line where the cursor

required for serial port access.
5 To verify that you have connected successfully,
type help after the Ready prompt and press
Enter.
If a list of all available commands does not
appear on the screen, review the steps in this
section, check the cable, or contact service
personnel until the problem is solved.
If you have difficulty using the serial port, verify
that you have the correct settings and that your
serial cable is less then two meters in length.
