4.1 Connect and Configure
The HMT140 Configuration Cable allows you to connect an HMT140 to your PC. You can then
configure the HMT140 with your network settings using the HMT140 Utility software (software
and cable shipped with viewLinc).
4.1.1 Installing HMT140 Utility Sofware
The HMT140 Utility software configures and reads the settings in the HMT140 that use 802.11b
and 802.11g wireless networks. The address of the destination host, the wireless network
parameters, transmit period, and other important network functions of the HMT140 are
specified using the HMT140 Utility. The HMT140 Utility also provides you with access to tools
for diagnosing connection problems.
Before you configure the HMT140, install the HMT140 Utility software on a PC. The HMT140
Utility is compatible with Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 8.1 (64-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit and
64-bit), Windows XP (32-bit), Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2012.

2. Insert the CD that came with the HMT140 Configuration Cable, or download the software
from www.vaisala.com/hmt140.
3. Run the HMT140 Utility installation program (HMT140UtilitySetup.exe).
4. Accept the license agreement terms, then click Next to accept the installation default
settings. The installation of the driver may take several minutes.

your PC to complete the installation setup.
6. When the installation is complete, disconnect the cable from your PC. You are now ready
to set up and configure your device.
If you wish to remove the Vaisala HMT140 Utility software at a later date, use the uninstall
function in the Windows Control Panel.
