Chapter 3: Installing the VCode<br />

VCode <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

Connecting to the VCode with HyperTerminal<br />

Introduction<br />

This topic describes how to use HyperTerminal to open a serial<br />

connection to the VCode. You must do this before you can change the<br />

VCode’s IP address.<br />

For more information, see “About manually setting the VCode’s<br />

IP address” on page 47.<br />

About HyperTerminal<br />

HyperTerminal is a program that allows you to communicate with the<br />

VCode across a serial cable. The program was installed as part of your<br />

Windows operating system.<br />

Before you start<br />

Before connecting to the VCode, make sure that no other application is<br />

using the same serial port. For example, if you have recently<br />

reprogrammed a VCode bar code reader, you may still have an open<br />

serial connection on the same port. To close the connection, correctly<br />

close the software application that is using the connection.<br />

Opening a<br />

connection<br />

To connect to the VCode:<br />

1. In Windows, navigate to Start > Programs or All Programs ><br />

Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal.<br />

The Connection Description dialog box opens.<br />

2. In the Name text box, type a simple, one-word name to give the<br />

connection, and click OK.<br />

The Connect To dialog box opens.
