Sutron Corporation 8310 & 7310 Users Manual 8800-1125Rev. 2.7 (BETA) 4/16/2014 pg. 41
The first step is to hook up the PC to the 8310 and get the communications software up and
running.
Starting the PC Software
Any PC can be used as a test set as long as it has a serial port and a communications program
such as HyperTerminal (for Windows Vista and Windows 7, HyperTerminal may be downloaded,
here: http://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal/).
Note: if using a commercial communications
program, set it for 115,200 baud, 8 bits, no
parity,
1 stop bit. 25 lines and either ANSI or VT100
graphics.
Use a straight M-F 9 pin serial cable to connect the PC to the 8210. Use the COM1 port on the
front panel of the 8310-N or the left side of the 8310-O.
If using the standard type A USB port on the PC, connect an A Male to B Male standard USB
cable to any USB port on the PC.
Start the program and press ENTER. You should see the main menu displayed. If you see a
prompt: “Flash Disk>,” type the command UI and press ENTER.
If the 8310 still does not display the main menu, you must use the front panel of the 8310 to
verify that COM1 is configured as DIRECT and that the baud rate is set to 115,200. To do this, go
to Station Setup/Communications/COM1 and verify that the state is STARTED and DIRECT. Press
the RIGHT arrow and verify that Baud Rate is 115,200. If it is not, press and then use the
arrows to set the baud rate to 115,200. If you are still having difficulties, consult the
Troubleshooting chapter (10) for help.
The 8310 Menu Tree
Since the PC screen is obviously much larger than the small 8310 display, it is able to give a full
view of the menus as shown below.
