=== '''Debug Port Settings''' ===

AOM-3841 can communicate with a host server using serial cables. Common serial&nbsp;communication programs such as HyperTerminal, Tera Term, or PuTTY can be used&nbsp;in this case. The example below describes the serial terminal setup using HyperTerminal on a Windows host:<br/> 1. Connect AOM-3841 with your PC using a serial cable.<br/> 2. Open HyperTerminal on your Windows PC, and select the settings demonstrated in the photo below.<br/> 3. Insert a power adapter into the DC jack and power up the board. The Debug&nbsp;console log will be displayed on the terminal screen.

=== '''Configure Parameters''' ===

Use “stty” command to configure serial port parameters. The commonly used parameters include “Baud rate”, “Data bits”, “Stop bits”, “Parity”, “Flow control”.

See details of the usage of “stty”:
<pre># stty --help
… …
csN set character size to N bits, N in [5..8]
[-]cstopb use two stop bits per character (one with '-')
[-]parenb generate parity bit in output and expect parity bit in input
[-]crtscts enable RTS/CTS handshaking
…</pre>

For example, set COM1<br/> “Baud rate” to 115200<br/> “Data bits” to 8<br/> “Stop bits” to 1<br/> “Parity” to None<br/> “Flow control” to None
<pre># stty -F /dev/ttyS0 115200 cs8 -parenb -cstopb</pre>

=== '''Send and receive data''' ===

Taking COM1 as receiver or sender (An external COM is required to do the sending&nbsp;or receiving). For example, AOM-3841 is responsible for receiving and inputting&nbsp;instructions. The PC computer is connected via a cable and COM1. The PC computer uses the PuTTY serial port tool, opens the COM port, configures the baud rate&nbsp;to 115200, data bits to 8, stop bits to 1, parity to none, flow control to none, and sends&nbsp;“pass” to the serial port assistant. If no error, the external COM receiver will receive&nbsp;“pass”.
<pre># #---- COM1 as receiver ----# #
# stty -F /dev/ttyS4 115200 cs8 -cstopb -parenb
# cat /dev/ttyS4 &</pre>
<pre># #---- COM1 as sender ----# #
# stty -F /dev/ttyS4 115200 cs8 -cstopb -parenb
# echo pass > /dev/ttyS4
# #----If no error, the external COM receiver will receive “pass”----# #
pass</pre>

Note!

1.Receiver should run before sender.<br/> 2.The "serial port parameters" should be the same for sender and&nbsp;&nbsp;receiver.
