A. TROUBLESHOOTING THE RS-232 PORTS
8.3 This section describes how to troubleshoot the CPC if your PC cannot communicate
with the CPC using RS-232. Because each CPC has two RS-232 ports, perform these proce-
dures on each RS-232 port.
8.4
To troubleshoot the RS-232 ports:
Make sure the CPC is powered OFF.
1.
Launch a PC terminal emulation program, such as Hyperterm, Procomm, or Teraterm,
2.
and configure the COM port settings as follows:
Connect a serial cable from the COM port to the CPC RS-232 port that has Message

If the card responds with a command prompt or menu, your PC serial port is work-
ing properly. Turn OFF the power to the CPC and reconnect the RS-232 cable to
the CPC. Power ON the CPC and verify that no boot messages are present. If there
are still no boot messages, there may be a problem with the CPC port. Return the
card to Inter-Tel.
If the card does not respond or if you do not see any boot messages, check the set-
tings for your PC serial port. If they are correct, your PC serial port is not func-
tioning properly.
