Use HyperTerminal

To use HyperTerminal, follow these steps.

1. Click your path:
   • Start > Programs > Accessories > HypertTerminal
   • Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > HypertTerminal
2. In the Connect To window, enter a name, select an icon, and then click OK.
3. A new Connect To window will appear. Click the little arrow at the end of line for Connect using:
4. Select the communications port being used for the console. It might also be listed as direct to COMn (where n is 1 to 4). Click OK.
5. A COMn Properties window will appear. Change the speed to 9600. Click OK.
   Note: Failure to set the speed to 9600 will result in all unintelligible text and you will not see the desired results.
6. The HyperTerminal window will open. In the lower-left corner the status should report as Connected and the time will be incrementing.
7. In the data window you may get:
   • Nothing
   • Unintelligible
   • +++ATH0
8. Do a Disconnect.
9. Select File > Properties.
10. You should be in the Properties for the connection you just created. Select the Settings tab.
11. Click ASCII Setup.
12. Change the following settings so there is a check mark in the check box:
    • Send line ends with line feeds
    • Echo typed characters locally
    • Append line feeds to incoming line ends
    • Wrap lines that exceed terminal width
13. Click OK. Click OK.
14. Do a Connect.
15. At the server's control panel enter a function 65 (you need to take the server to a known state).
    Note: You may need to enter a function 25 and 26 in order to have access to the upper functions.
16. The server's control panel may display D1008065 after a little while. Also, in the HyperTerminal window, you may get some data.
17. At the server's control panel enter a function 66. You may get D1008066. This reference code may not appear in all cases. Also, in the HyperTerminal window, you may get some data.
18. Using uppercase, type NEGOTIATE 1 in the HyperTerminal window. Press Enter. The HyperTerminal data window displays 115200.
    Note: If nothing is returned, repeat NEGOTIATE 1.

    If a speed value is returned, you had data exchanged in both directions and have full connectivity. If Operations Console will not connect, more than likely you have a setup problem on the client side.

    If a speed value was not returned, you might try powering off the PC, power it back on, and repeat the test. Or attempt to connect the console again. In rare cases the server may need to be IPLed. For the best results it is recommended you do the following, in sequence:

    1. Power off the server.
    2. Power off the PC.
    3. Power on the PC.
    4. Start a connection for the console.
    5. Power on the server.
    If the above process fails to solve your connection problem, you need to contact your service provider for further assistance.
