Required Software
In order to send and receive data over the serial port (COM port) on your
computer to the module, you must use a communication program (terminal
emulator).
A simple communication program called HyperTerminal is pre-installed with
recent versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. If you are connecting
from a machine running DOS, you must obtain and install a compatible
communication program. The following table lists communication programs that
have been tested by ProSoft Technology.
DOS
ProComm, as well as several other terminal emulation programs
Windows 3.1
Terminal
Windows 95/98
HyperTerminal
Windows NT/2000/XP
HyperTerminal
The module uses the Ymodem file transfer protocol to send and receive
configuration files from your module. If you use a communication program that is
not on the list above, please be sure that it supports Ymodem file transfers.
