Microsoft stopped including the HyperTerminal program as part of its offering with
Windows Vista. As a result you will need to find an alternate program to communicate
directly with the LMU. One option is to purchase HyperTerminal from Hilgraeve
(http://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal.html).
Alternatively you can use a terminal emulation program such as PuTTY.
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/).
The following instructions describe how to configure PuTTY for use with the CalAmp
LMU.
Download and save the PuTTY.exe file to your PC.
1. Launch the PuTTY.exe file
2. Change the Connection type to Serial
3. Change the Speed to 115200
4. Change the Serial Line field to COM<x> where <x> is the port the LMU is
connected to.
5. In the Saved Sessions field enter CalAmp LMU
6. Click Save
7. Make sure the LMU is connected and powered on and then click Open
