Figure 2.1.2

Step 4: Serial port setup.

Set port parameters in “COM1 Properties” dialogue box as follow: (Fig 2.1.3)

Figure 2.1.3

The parameters should be: Bits per second: 115200 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None

Press “Apply” and “OK” after the setup. Press “Enter” under Hyper Terminal interface. When “[root@dvrdvs/]#”

appears, the connection is established.

Figure 2.1.4

Step5: Disconnect and save connection.
