Using Terminal Emulation Programs
4.3.1
Using HyperTerminal
An alternate method of configuring the Model 1095A/C through COM1
and COM2 is to use a terminal, or terminal emulation program, like
HyperTerminal. Also, certain functions (e.g. events) are only available
through using a terminal or terminal emulation program.
Connecting with HyperTerminal
1. Start HyperTerminal, give your connection a name (e.g. 1095A)
and select “Connect Using" and choose the correct COM port for
your computer.
2. In the COM(#) Properties window, choose the same properties as
you have set on the Model 1095A/C. Under “Flow Control" choose
“None."

3. You should be looking at an open terminal window with a blinking
cursor.
4. Type in the characters, “VE" and the Model 1095A/C should return
the firmware version date code. For this example, the response
came back as follows:
15 Nov 2013
