Making a Direct Connection

Direct connections are the easiest to establish because the TinyTERM Emulator only needs to open the serial port and you are connected to your remote system.

1. From the Edit menu, click Session.

2. If there is an entry in the Host name, IP address or phone number field, clear it. Otherwise the TinyTERM Emulator will attempt to "dial" the contents of the field.

3. Select the proper connection options:
   • Under Connection Type, select RS232.

   • Click the Setup… button. Depending on the type of connection you specify, the applicable dialog displays. See Using the Available Devices Setup for detailed instructions.

   • Especially check these connection options:
     • Baud Rate

     • Parity

     • Word Length

     • Stop Bits

4. Select the proper login options:
   • Click the Login tab.

   • Select the desired Login scheme. See Using the Login Tab for detailed instructions.

5. To accept the new settings, press ENTER or click OK. To reject the new settings, press ESC or click Cancel

6. When your settings match your network requirements, click on Connect.

OR

Close the Session Properties dialog and:

• From the Session menu, click Connect.

OR

• Click Connect on the button bar.

7. The TinyTERM Emulator immediately connects directly to the specified comport. If a prompt does not appear, press ENTER once or twice and a prompt should appear from the remote system.
