If the message was not displayed as typed, then a problem may exist in the system. Check all parameters and
connections in the system. The signal level should also be checked again. The Guardian’s Link Test utility can be
used to verify a communication path.
The previous procedure can also be used with the Hex Terminal utility. When the Hex Terminal is used, the
information is entered as hex code.
Figure 5-24
shows how the information will look when it is typed in and sent in
hex.

In the Hex Terminal mode, the program will not transmit ASCII information.
It will only allow valid hex characters.
