HyperTerminal Test
Testing the Gasboy System Remote Port
It is recommended that the Gasboy remote port be tested, if possible, with a laptop PC or
terminal before connecting the wireless modem system. Use the same HyperTerminal setup as
listed above. Ensure that the remote port baud rate is properly set up as per the appropriate
Gasboy system Operator or Start up manual. Ensure that the Gasboy port is set up for RS-232
communication and NOT RS-485 communications.

HyperTerminal Test
Connecting and Testing PC to Gasboy System Communications with the
Wireless Modems Connected
At this point, you should have programmed the wireless modem and tested the Gasboy system
remote port, if possible. CDR Tools should be loaded on both the PC end of the
communications loop and a laptop PC. You should have HyperTerminal set up (with the
proper configuration explained above) on both the PC and a laptop PC, if possible. These are
necessary if problems arise during communication testing.
To test PC to Gasboy system communications with the wireless modems, proceed as follows:
1
Connect the wireless modems at both the PC and Gasboy system using the supplied cables.
Ensure the cable used to connect the PC to the wireless modem matches the cable listed in
on
.
Ensure that the Gasboy system cabling matches the
system cabling as shown in
on
,
on
2
Install and connect the power pack at the PC end, and connect the DC cable at the Gasboy
system end, if you have not done so already.
3
Connect the coaxial cable from the wireless modems to the antennas installed at either the
mast or tower. Check to ensure that the mast, towers, and modems are properly grounded.
4
Open up the previously set up HyperTerminal, and test the communication between the PC
and the Gasboy system. After confirming this communication link, close the HyperTerminal
session. You are ready to test the Gasboy software package.
