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.
