Click on

Connect

to open the

Select Comm Port Settings

dialog box, as shown in Figure 5.7.2. Set the

baud rate to 9600 (9.6 kb/s). Set the

CommPort

to match the serial port connected to the Base, either the

hardware port or the USB virtual serial port. Then click

to activate the serial connection.

Figure 5.7.2

At this point the Wizard will collect data from the Base, filling in data under

Current Settings

as shown in

Figure 5.7.3. The

Status Window

should also show that the Remote has joined the Base.
