The example given below to connect to the configuration menus is performed in Windows using HyperTerminal, a
terminal application that ships with Windows. If you are using a different operating system, you will need a similar
“terminal” or “tty” type application (e.g. minicom), which talks directly to a serial port in that operating system.
First, connect BL-521, along with the supplied gender changer, to an available serial port on your computer. In
this example, we use COM1.
Ensure the power adapter is connected and switched on (the LED’s on the BL-521 should come on).
Start HyperTerminal by clicking “Start\All Programs\Accessories\Communications\HyperTerminal”. Some
versions of Windows have a slightly different sequence of clicks, or do not install HyperTerminal by default.
Please refer to your operating system instructions for more details.
If you are running HyperTerminal for the first time you will be prompted for information about your location. This
section must be filled in, but is not used for our purposes, so you are free to add anything here.
The next screen is just to name this instance of the connection. You are free to name this as anything except an
existing device name (e.g. COM1).
