To verify serial communications
Start a terminal emulator program on the host computer.

If you are using a PC, the Terminal application (HyperTerminal) in Microsoft
Windows 95 will work fine.
If you are using a UNIX workstation, you can use a terminal emulator such as
kermit.
Plug the power cord into the HP E3472A/73A Emulator.

When the HP E3472A/73A Emulator powers up, it sends a message (similar
to the one that follows) to the serial port and then displays a prompt:
