Putty Setup

Microsoft stopped including the HyperTerminal program as part of its offering with
Windows Vista. As a result you will need to find an alternate program to communicate
directly with the LMU. One option is to purchase HyperTerminal from Hilgraeve

(

http://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal.html

Alternatively you can use a terminal emulation program such as PuTTY.

(

The following instructions describe how to configure PuTTY for use with the CalAmp
LMU.
Download and save the PuTTY.exe file to your PC.
