This document describes how to open a HyperTerminal session with KlasRouter.  HyperTerminal is a MS Windows application that allows a PC to communicate with KlasRouter via an RS-232 serial connection.  After establishing a HyperTerminal session, users can access the KlasRouter Configuration Menu.

  2.0 Configuration of KlasRouter

2.1 Cable Connections

 Prior to beginning, ensure the following cable connections have been properly secured:

  1. Power cord is plugged in and KlasRouter is on.

  2. Control Port Cable is connected to the PCs serial port.
    3.
  3. Control Port Cable is connected to the 'Control' port on the front of the KlasRouter.
