4.1 The Configuration/Debug Menu
The Configuration and Debug menu for this module is arranged as a tree
structure, with the Main Menu at the top of the tree, and one or more sub-menus
for each menu command. The first menu you see when you connect to the
module is the Main menu.
Because this is a text-based menu system, you enter commands by typing the
command letter from your computer keyboard Microsoft Windows
HyperTerminal. The module does not respond to mouse movements or clicks.
The command executes as soon as you press the command letter — you do not
need to press [Enter]. When you type a command letter, a new screen will be
displayed in the Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal application.
