Connecting a VP-1201 12x1 XGA Switcher / Scanner

Verify Connectivity

After configuring the Com Port Redirector and the

VP-1201, use a terminal

emulation program such as HyperTerminal to verify connectivity from the

Com Port Redirector to the

VP-1201. To verify connectivity between the

Com Port Redirector and the

VP-1201 using HyperTerminal:

1. Click the

Start button in the Windows Taskbar, point to Programs,

point to Accessories, point to Communications, and click

HyperTerminal.

2. Open a new session to the virtual Com port configured to connect to the

device server.

3. When the HyperTerminal window opens, a pop-up window displays:

Attempting to connect to service.

If this message is replaced by: Successfully redirected to service, the

connection from the Com Port Redirector to the device server was

successful.

However, if the message is replaced by Failed to connect to any service,

the connection failed. Ensure your settings are correct.

4. To hide the pop-up window, check

Silent Mode on the Com Port

Redirector Configuration window (Figure 24).
