ON YOUR MARKı

Connect One provides an evaluation program with iModem that emulates an embedded application. Install the evaluation package on your PC and connect iModem via the RS-232 cable to your PC. The first screen that comes up is DOS and its test. Yeah, I know, it should be a Windows thing. Anyway, from there, I selected #2, "Equipment Information," and got the screen shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1ıIt always helps when you know what youıre working with. The iModem Equipment Information was the first thing I looked for when I got things going.

Note that I have an early production version. Check the firmware revisions to confirm weıre talking about the same product features described in Figure 1.
