i'm trying to use hyperterminal but am going not where with it. I've got an ambit 200 with an RS232 serial connection. The RS232 is plugged directly into my laptop (not using any converters) and am doing the following:
i've got the modem connected to my lappy by the network lead
open
hyperterminal - new connection - called NTL
connection = com 1
bits per seconds = 115200
data bits = 8
parity = none
stop bits = 1
flow = none
then i power on the modem without the cable feed
I then just get a blank window in hyperterminal -99% of the time i get a blank screen but sometimes i get a load of random characters like the ones below.
I thought it was one of the connections on the lead i was using so made a new one - i've tested it using the RS232 test but thats come back fine.
If i use Tera Term i ALWAYs get stuff appearing on the screen when the modems booting - but again i cant make any sense of it.
This is what i normally get
Sometimes i can type but its just random characters that appear like Hearts & funny shapes
Could the RS232 be faulty but still pass the RS232 Test?
So far I've tried
2 different laptops
2 different modems
2 different network leads
tried both static and dynamic ip addresses for the network card
checked the 232 connections - tried all possible ways to connect it to the modem
Any ideas guys - i've ran out of ideas :Cry:
