Connect a computer terminal to the serial port
This section explains how to connect a computer terminal in order to display and interact with the operating
system software.
1. Connect a serial cable to the serial port of the CPM.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the COM port of an external computer terminal, such as a laptop.
3. Configure the terminal emulator on the external computer to match the default settings for the CPM serial
port: 115200 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, I stop bit, no flow control. For best display results, the terminal
should be set to 80 columns by 25 lines.
Note:
If distorted characters are displayed, double-check that the same communication parameters are set
for both the serial port and the COM port.
