6 Terminal Configuration
The iCE
3
set up and configuration is achieved through the connection of a terminal to the host (RS232) serial
port. As the iCE
3
is very similar to (and in fact based on) a standard GSM/GPRS modem, the design uses
the industry standard Hayes AT command method of configuring and viewing the device’s settings. The
following sections describe how to set up a terminal connection and the menu options that are available
while connected.
This description assumes a computer running a version of the Microsoft® Windows® operating system is
being used and the descriptions below relate to the standard Windows® terminal emulator application,
HyperTerminal™. Other types of computer and terminal emulators may also be used, but details on the set-
up required are outside the scope of this document.
NOTE: A suitable cable to connect the iCE
3 host (RS232) port to the computer is required. This
should be wired as shown in Section 7.1 (Standard Devices).
6.1 Terminal Set-up
Start Windows® HyperTerminal™ and create a new connection called “iCE3”. Set your terminal properties
as shown in the dialog boxes below.
6.1.1 Port Selection
If you have connected the iCE
3
to a communicaton port other than COM1, make the appropriate selection
from the drop-down combo box.
