Verify Connectivity
After configuring the Com Port Redirector and the VS-81ETH, use a
terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal to verify connectivity
from the Com Port Redirector to the VS-81ETH. To verify connectivity
between the Com Port Redirector and the VS-81ETH 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 26).
