CONNECTING USING TERMINAL EMULATION SOFTWARE
A terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal from Microsoft®, can be used to interact with the
WAG. HyperTerminal is included with the standard Windows® 9x/NT/2000/XP installation. The
WAG uses ANSI terminal emulation.
To Connect Using HyperTerminal:
1.
Connect a null modem cable to the WAG serial port labeled J1 and to the serial COM port of a
PC laptop computer. Make sure the cable is a null cable or use a null modem adapter.
2.
Match the PC/laptop COM port settings to the WAG serial port default settings. Use the
following table.
