PRELIMINARY

Creating a Named

HyperTerminal Connection for

MMI Communication

Confirming or changing the configuration data of certain BTS Field

Replaceable Units (FRU) requires establishing an MMI communication

session between the WinLMF and the FRU. Using features of the

Windows operating system, the connection properties for an MMI

session can be saved on the WinLMF computer as a named Windows

HyperTerminal connection. This eliminates the need for setting up

connection parameters each time an MMI session is required to support

optimization.

Once the named connection is saved, a shortcut for it can be created on

the Windows desktop. Double–clicking the shortcut icon will start the

connection without the need to negotiate multiple menu levels.

Follow the procedures in Table 6-4 to establish a named HyperTerminal

connection and create a Windows desktop shortcut for it.
