Verify Connectivity
After configuring the Com Port Redirector and the
VP-1201
, use a terminal
emulation program such as HyperTerminal to verify connectivity from the
Com Port Redirector to the
VP-1201
. To verify connectivity between the
Com Port Redirector and the
VP-1201
using HyperTerminal:
1. Click the
Start
button in the Windows Taskbar, point to
Programs
,
point to Accessories, point to Communications, and click
HyperTerminal.
2. Open a new session to the virtual Com port configured to connect to the
device server.
3. When the HyperTerminal window opens, a pop-up window displays:
Attempting to connect to service.
If this message is replaced by: Successfully redirected to service, the
connection from the Com Port Redirector to the device server was
successful.
However, if the message is replaced by Failed to connect to any service,
the connection failed. Ensure your settings are correct.
4. To hide the pop-up window, check
Silent Mode
on the Com Port
Redirector Configuration window (Figure 24).
