Appendix C: Transferring Data to a PC
Using HyperTerminal
HyperTerminal is a Hilgraeve communications program that can be used to communicate with Ethernet
devices, such as the Analyzer. To use HyperTerminal, you must first connect your Analyzer to the computer with
a crossover Ethernet cable, or connect the Analyzer to your computer network using a straight-through Ethernet
cable. Ethernet cables are available at many computer and office supply retail stores.
To install the Ethernet connection
1.
For direct connection of the Analyzer to a PC, select the crossover Ethernet cable from the Accessories
Kit. Attach one end to the Ethernet port in the electronics area of the Analyzer, and the other end to an
Ethernet port on the PC.
2.
For connection of the Analyzer to a network, select the straight-through Ethernet cable from the
Accessories Kit. Attach one end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the Analyzer, and plug the other end
into a convenient network port.
3.
Open HyperTerminal on the PC. The Connection Description screen appears (see Figure 83). Enter a
name for the new connection and click OK.
4.
The Connect To screen appears (see Figure 84). In the Connect using Field, select TCP/IP (Winsock).
Then, in the Host Address field, enter the IP address of your Analyzer. The IP address appears on the
System Info screen (Menu Maintenance System Info).
