Configure the Module Using a Terminal Emulator
To communicate with the module using a terminal emulator, perform the following steps:
1.
Determine the COM port that was assigned to the USB cable. If you do not know the COM port number, you can find
it using the Windows Device Manager, which is in the system tools. In the Device Manager, browse and expand the
selection for Ports (COM & LPT). In the example shown in Figure 5, the port is COM9.
For OS-X, if you are using CoolTerm, you can view and select the port from within the application.
NOTE:
Legacy evaluation boards use a USB-to-serial cable. If you are using one of these boards, use the COM port to
which the USB-to-serial cable is attached.
2.
Open your terminal emulation program.
3.
Specify the COM port. If you are using TeraTerm, select
Serial
and choose the COM port number from the
Port
drop-
down list box.
NOTE:
The default serial port setting for the WiFly module is 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
