3. Terminal Emulator and COM Port Problems 4 4 Problem Screen continuously puts out garbage characters Solution The likely cause of this problem is a baud rate mismatch between the terminal emulator and the router The default baud rate is 115 200 bps Follow these steps if you set your terminal emulator to this rate and still get garbage characters 1 Turn off the power to the router 2 Press the spacebar of your terminal emulator 3 Turn on the power while continuing to press the spacebar This will allow the router to autodetect the baud rate setting 4 When the Flash Utility appears select 5 Run Bridge to continue to boot the router Note Some terminal emulators don t immediately change to the new baud rate settings and you have to exit and restart the emulator to use the new settings Problem Nothing is displayed on the terminal emulator Solution The probable cause of this problem is your terminal emulator software is not configured correctly Problem Screen is updated but won t respond to keystrokes Solution 1 Check that all the cables are connected properly 2 Check that the correct COM port is enabled and configured For the COM port settings see Connecting to the RS 232 Port on page 2 6 3 Check that your terminal emulator software is configured properly 4 Contact your authorized Chaparral distributor Problem Screen looks correct but clock is not being updated Solution Check to be sure tha
