1.

 

Install an ASCII Terminal Application (on your PC)   
 

An ASCII terminal is useful for initial testing and configuration.  If you already have 
one, skip to step 2. 
 

a.

 

We recommend TeraTerm, which can be downloaded from our server, here: 
 

https://astratelematics-
my.sharepoint.com/:f:/p/phil/EiffxOSnjX1DiimDbvB5EHkBdk_nkauL34TKMLzLp4v4Sg?
e=d3Iilo

 

 

b.

 

Once downloaded, install TeraTerm and open the application 
 

c.

 

Select RS232 session type 
 

d.

 

Select 

Setup 

and then choose 

Serial Port

 from the drop-down options 

 

e.

 

Configure your serial connection as follows: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

f.

 

Choose the 

Port

 to suit your available COM ports on your PC.  This will usually be 

COM1 if you have a built in RS232 port.  If using a USB-RS232 adapter, go to the 
Windows® Device Manager and check which COM port has been assigned to your USB 
adapter (note: the assigned COM port will change if you plug into a different USB 
socket on your PC).

 

 

g.

 

Select 

Setup 

and then 

Save Setup 

from the drop-down menu list to save this 

configuration

 

 

h.

 

Leave the TeraTerm window open whilst you now set up and connect the AT211
