6. Start the HyperTerminal program. When you do you will probably have to select a name and icon for
the connection. "Prologix" is a good name and easy to remember. From now on we will assume you
picked "Prologix" as the name.
7. HyperTerminal will display a "Connect To" dialog box.
8. In the "Connect Using" list box select "TCP/IP (Winsock)".
9. The "Host Address" and "Port Number" edit boxes will appear.
10. In the "Host Address" edit box enter the IP address that corresponds to your controller's MAC
address.
11. In the "Port Number" edit box enter "1234". This is a port number that applies to all GPIB-Ethernet
Controllers.
12. Click "OK".
13. The status bar at the bottom of HyperTerminal should display "Connected …", "AutoDetect", and
TCP/IP" (or something very similar).
14. Select File | Properties to display the "Prologix Properties" dialog box with the "Connect To" tab
selected.
15. Select the "Settings" tab.
16. These are the settings that seem to work well for us. Start with these settings and then later you can
modify them to your satisfaction.
• "Function, Arrow…" = Terminal Keys.
• "Backspace Key Sends" = Ctrl+H.
• "Emulation" = Auto detect.
• "Telnet Terminal ID" = ANSI
• "Backscroll Buffer Lines" = 500.
17. Click on the "Input Translation" button:
• Select "Shift-JIS"
• Click "OK".
18. Click on the "ASCII Setup" button:
• Check "Send line ends with line feeds".
• Check "Echo typed characters locally".
• Select "Line delay" = 0 milliseconds.
• Select "Character delay" = 0 milliseconds.
• Check "Append line feeds to incoming line ends".
• Uncheck "Force incoming data to 7-bit ASCII".
• Check "Wrap lines that exceed terminal width".
• Click "OK".
19. In the "Prologix Properties" dialog box, click "OK".
20. You should be back to the main HyperTerminal window.
21. Type "++ver" in lowercase, and hit "Enter". You should see a response similar to " Prologix GPIB-
ETHERNET Controller version 01.06.02.00". This is just a verification that you are actually
communicating with the Prologix device.
22. If you made it this far then you are successfully communicating with your Prologix GPIB-Ethernet
Controller.
23. You can now proceed with configuring your controller to suit your needs. Refer to the Prologix GPIB-
Ethernet Controller's manual for all the commands and their use. The only hints that we can offer are:
• The controller must be a DEVICE to work with PrintCapture. See the "++mode 0" command.
• Refer to Prologix's NetFinder utility. On our system, a 'dynamic' IP address changes roughly
every 12 hours of operation. If it changes while PrintCapture is using it, PrintCapture simply
