The settings are: 9600 8bits, no party. If you see nothing on the screen, you have the wrong cable. Since you are connecting two computers together, you must use a crossover cable or insert an in-line null-modem adapter to reverse pins 2 and 3.

use a cable to connect your serial port and the Com1 port of your PC.

open hyperterm

select whether it is com1 or com2.
use restore defaults in the page where you have bits,parity,etc.

Thanks

Hi Onan


You can use a the com port cable cross one to conent the PC to the Console the standard connections are as :


2-------2
3-------3
5-------5

Also the setting should be 6 bits no partiy adn no of stop bits as 1 , eiterh connect it to com1 or com2 ans configure the hypertem accordingly , also you can short pin 2 and 3 after connecting to the pc and type sometjhing so that it dispalys back ( in full duplex mode )

Bill, TG, and Manoj,

Thank you for your responce.
My problem was that I had to delete the Com port and reinstall it. ???MS OS???
Also used a straight through cable.

Thank you again..

I have a problem with Hyper terminal as well. I have a C200 and am connecting my PC to the seriel port of the C200 via a null modem cable with 9600-8-N-1.

The terminal works fine (i.e. both input/outport works) in PDC and ISL during the booting process. However, once it boot into hpux, it does not response to my key strokes regardless if it is at the login prompt under the multi-user mode or at # prompt under single user mode.

Can someone help?
