(2) After your HyperTerminal session has been established, you have to
hit the
Enter
key twice
to go into command mode
, then you can input the serial commands within the HyperTerminal
window according to the following command usages ………………
Command usage notes:
1. The commands are
NOT
case-sensitive. That means you can use lower case in typing
your commands! The commands does not require a strict double-digit entry of bank number
or port number (such as
ON 01 03
– Power on bank 1 port 3) but can accept their single-
digit entries (such as
ON 1 3
), and also allow multiple blank spaces in between its
command parameters (such as
ON 1 3
).
2. When using the HyperTerminal, note that
ScrollLock should not be ON
. Otherwise, it
will block you from entering commands. ScrollLock is OFF by default in HyperTerminal.
However, if you cannot type in commands, please check the ScrollLock status, which can
be viewed on status bar at the bottom of your HyperTerminal window. If ScrollLock is ON,
hit ScrollLock key again to relieve it.
