Determining the Communications Port
To set the communications port in the HyperTerminal session, you need to know which
communications port you are using on your computer. Most laptops are connected through
COM 1, but PCs can use COM 1 through 3.
To determine the communications port
1.
Right-click the
My Computer
icon on your desktop and from the shortcut menu,
select
Properties
. The System Properties window is displayed:
2.
Click the
Device Manager
tab and click
Ports (COM & LPT)
. A list of the
available communications ports appears.
3.
Select the appropriate port for your HyperTerminal session.
Note:
A connection to the Hopper Plus 120-24 Configuration menus will not be
established if the wrong port is selected. If this occurs, reconfigure the HyperTerminal to
connect using another available communications port.
