CHAPTER 8 USAGE COMMUNICATION COMMANDS
This chapter describes how to use communications commands from a host machine to operate the FP5.
8.1 Starting the Communications Software
In order to use communications commands for operation, communications with the FP5 must be established with
communications software. In this chapter, we shall describe how to use HyperTerminal which is a part of Windows to
establish communications.
(1) Connecting the system
Connect a serial cable to the serial port on your host machine, and then connect the other end to the serial
connector on the FP5. Next, plug the AC adapter into an outlet, then connect it to the FP5 power supply connector.

(2) Start the FP5
After the connections are made, press the FP5 POWER button to turn the power on. If the unit starts correctly,
the POWER LED will light, and “Commands >” will be displayed on the message display.
If the unit does not come on in the manner described above, then there may be a malfunction in the FP5, so please
contact our sales representative or distributor.
