1.4 Connecting the Tubes to a PC.
The first operation that must be performed when reconfiguring the Tubes
from their default shipping configuration is the connection of the Tube to a
hyperterminal session on a suitable PC.
The Tubes require no special configuration software, instead they utilise
the HyperTerminal session software which is shipped with Microsoft
Windows.
This can be found under any normal installation of Windows under the
Start- Programs – Accessories- Communications sub menu choices.
The user must connect the dedicated RS232 cable supplied with the Tubes
to a PC running Windows and with an available 9 pin serial port. If a 9 pin
port is not available then a USB port can be used with a suitable USB to
RS232 converter.
Once the serial cable is connected between the computer and the Tube,
and both systems are powered up, a Hyper Terminal session may be
started.
