4 OFS System Configuration Setup
4.1 Checking Communications
At this point you should have serial communications
established between the computer and the OFS as
described in Section 3.14
.1. ”HyperTerminal Setup”.
Check the status bar at the bottom of the
HyperTerminal window. You will see connection
duration, bit rate configuration and other indicators.
The OFS responds to uppercase ASCII character
inputs as described elsewhere in this manual, but for
now we will begin by entering “V”. The system will
respond with firmware version and install date. This
shows that the system is indeed on
– line and
responding.
