4.16 Programming the Subscriber Unit from a PC
In place of a handheld terminal, a cable adapter kit #7043E may be ordered from
AES to link the 7788F to your computer’s serial port.
Communications Parameters: 4800 baud, NO parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, RTS/CTS
Flow control OFF
Handheld (HH) Programmer Key equivalents to (PC) Keyboard:
When entering Hex numbers, use uppercase, i.e., "9A" not "9a"
If possible, set terminal program for destructive backspace" so that backspace will erase
the deleted character from the screen.
If nothing is sent or received by the subscriber, make sure the program is set to the
correct COM port.
If the subscriber receives characters, but nothing can be sent, make sure the CTS/RTS
flow control is OFF, and that the cable is OK.
