5. On your PC, from the Start menu, select Programs> Accessories> Communications>
HyperTerminal and create a new connection using the COM port and the following settings:
Bits per second – 38400, Data bits - 8, Parity – None, Stop bits – 1, Flow control - None
6. In HyperTerminal, log on to the TransVu by typing +++ and pressing enter.
