Hardware Configuration
[2#1] USB-2COM PRO v1: please press <ENTER> to activate the menu
Figure 17: Open Terminal Configuration
Now press the “Config” button to enter the configuration mode. In your terminal screen a line
similar to the above will appear. If you carefully watch the software, you may notice the line
is written again and again. If your terminal application translates a <CR> to a <CR><LF>
sequence, it adds a Line Feed character to each line. So you’ll see the text quickly scroll in your
Windows. This is intentional, the Configuration mode redraws the screen, so you have a chance
to change the parameters of your terminal application. The line lists the USB-COM PRO found
using this serial port.
This redraw happens until you press the <Enter> key. The firmware in USB-COM PRO now
recognizes interactive input, so a redraw is no longer required. If you need a redraw later, just
press the <Enter> key.
