You should see Figure 6-2 appear on your screen. TERM has no idea how to communicate with your station until a station file is created. This file tells TERM what kind of datalogger is out there, which serial port to use, the speed of communication, and what kind of communication device is hooked up to the serial port.

If you don't get the screen as shown in Figure 6-3, or it takes longer than a couple of minutes to call the station, then there is something wrong with the communication line (See Section 6.6.2).
