USING HYPERTERMINAL FOR RS-232 COMMUNICATION
Run the Hyperterminal application (typically in Start> Programs> Accessories>
Communications) which is supplied with Windows.
Enter the name of your new connection, such as MacFi-se , and press OK.
At the "Connect to" dialog select the serial port that the MacFi-se is connected to in
the Connect using dialog box (ex. COM 1).
At the Port Settings dialog select 9600 bits per second (or 115200 if you have toggled
the baud rate on power up), 8 data bits, None parity, 1 stop bits and "None" for flow
control.
Press enter to get the MFI> prompt.
Downloading a File - Follow the instructions for the DLD command. After you have
executed the command and the "C" characters begin to be displayed, select Transfer>
Send File from Hyperterminal. Browse to locate the file you wish to send, Select
Ymodem as the protocol and select Send. You should see a dialog noting the
progress and success of your transfer.
Changing The Baud Rate - Disconnect the session by Selecting Call> Disconnect.
Then Select File> Properties. Select Configure and modify Bits per second to be either
9600 or 115200. This setting depends on the power on rate (LO, HI) of the machine as
explained in the Toggle Baud between 9,600 and 115,200 Section. Default baud rate
is 9600.
