To escape out of the mode (to get a command prompt – console) do the following:

mode = 3 – type EXIT, type cmd port nnnn (where nnnn is the current baud rate)

mode = 4 – type +++, wait 3 seconds, type cmd port nnnn (where nnnn is the current baud rate); Refer to

padesc and padesct for escape sequence

mode = 8 – change hyper terminal baud rate to 9600, type EXIT, change hyper terminal baud rate to

nnnn, type cmd port nnnn (where nnnn is the currently set baud rate)

The current mode setting can be queried by using the mode without parameters.
