Using HyperTerminal
To configure a modem serial emulation software is often required, one of the
most frequently used applications is HyperTerminal in Windows, this
example shows Windows XP. The following is a guide as to how to
use HyperTerminal to communi-
cate with a modem:
1. Connect the modem using a
modem cable to the serial
port on the computer,
in this example, Com 1. A
straight through 9-pos. cable is
used as the computer is DTE
and the modem DCE
(see page 26).
2. Start HyperTerminal, the application is normally located under
Accessories/Communications.
3. State a name for the connection, e.g. Com 1 9600 8N1
(for Com 19.6 kbit/s 8-data bits, parity none (N) and 1 stop bit)
