Remote Operation
4.4.1.2 Starting HyperTerminal
Once the LDC500 is connected, either to your local network or di-
rectly to your computer, turn on the LDC500. Then, on your com-
puter, open the HyperTerminal application. This is often found from
the “Start” menu, under Programs:: Accessories:: Communications::
HyperTerminal. When the application begins, it will ask you for a
Connection Description. Choose something like
LDC ethernet
and
click “OK”.
When the “Connect To” window pops up, choose the “Connect us-
ing:” method as “TCP
/
IP (Winsock)” from the pull-down menu.
Enter the IP address for the LDC500 under “Host address:”. For this
example, enter
8886
for “Port number:” (this will connect to the “de-
bugging” port). To connect to the main command port (which does
not receive debugging messages), change the port number to
8888
.
