HOW TO SET UP WINDOWS HYPER TERMINAL

1) In hyper terminal create a "new connection" this can be done by clicking the Hypertrm.exe icon or via the menu within HyperTerminal "File:NewConnection".

2) Type in a name for the connection (for example, cyq504).

3) Under "connect using" select "Direct to Com 2" if your available com port is com 2 otherwise select the appropriate com port. (Modems are relentlessly selfish about interrupts. So if a modem is present then avoid the modem port and it's cousin. That is, if the modem is on com 1 then avoid both com 1 and 3. Com 1 and 3 share an interrupt while com 2 and 4 share a different interrupt; in this case avoid 2 and 4)

4) Set "Bits per second" to 9600.

5) Set "Data Bits" to 8.

6) Set "Stop Bits" to 1.

7) Set "Flow control" to None.

8) Click OK - the hyper terminal screen should appear.

9). Select properties from the menu bar.

10) Click on "settings", use default: autodetect and back scroll 500 lines.

11) For "ASCII setup" use

a). Sending - check: "echo typed characters locally" box. This lets you see the commands you type in.

b). Receiving - check: "append line feeds" and "wrap long lines". The CyQ module emits a carriage return (CR), but no line feed. This keeps data from being overwritten on the screen.

11) Under "File" menu select "Save As" and save the configuration file to a convenient folder.

You can create a shortcut to the configuration file and put it on the desktop, this makes life a bit simpler. The configuration files have a naming convention of *.ht where star is the name you chose when setting up the new connection. For example, "cyq504.ht".
