20.020 How do I setup Hyperterm to do transfers with my Apple II?
Hyperterm is a good general purpose PC telecom utility for running under
Windows on the PC side when transferring files to/from your Apple II.
To use Hyperterm, you must first have defined a connection setup and saved
it under some name like "A2at300.ht". From then on, whenever you start
Hyperterm, you can click Files and select Open and pick your connection setup
from a list which will include A2at300.ht and any other setups you have
created.
Note: By the way, the Files menu relates to these connection setups, not to
stuff you want to send. You pick stuff to send (or a directory to receive to)
when you click Transfer and make a choice like "Send File" or "Send Text File".
Once you choose a Transfer activity, you will be able to Browse folders.
A 300 Baud Setup
Here is an example of creating a 300 baud Hyperterm setup. It is intended
for 'typing in' Text to your Apple II which is set to accept inputs through a
serial port via the IN#2 command. So, the setup uses a fairly long "Line Delay"
and uses no "Flow Control".
1- Start Hyperterm, get past any intro window (e.g. click "Cancel"), and
select "New Connection" in the Files menu.
2- "Phone Number" page
Connect using= Direct to Com 1 (or whatever PC Com port you will use)
Click on Configure* and set
Bits per second= 300
Data bits= 8
Parity= None
Stop bits= 1
Flow control= None
(You should not need to change any Advanced settings)
Click OK
*Note: This settings window comes up automatically on some versions.
Click on the "Settings" page tab
3- "Settings" page
Terminal keys is selected
Emulation= Auto Detect
Backscroll buffer lines= 500
(You should not need to change Terminal Setup)
Click on ASCII Setup
Send line ends with line feeds is not selected
Echo typed characters locally is not selected
Line delay= 40 milliseconds
Character delay= 0 milliseconds
Append line feeds ... is not selected
Force incoming data to 7-bit ASCII is not selected
Wrap lines that exceed terminal width is selected
Click OK
4- Click OK again to finish. Then, click Files and do a Save As to save the
new setup under the name "A2at300.ht" (or any other .ht name you like).
A 19,200 Baud Setup
This setup is intended for normal NULL modem file transfers back and
forth with an Apple II running a telecom program such as ProTerm, ZLink, Modem
MGR, Spectrum, etc.. It is identical to the 300 baud setup above except for
the following:
Bits per second= 19200
Flow control= Hardware**
Line delay= 0 milliseconds
Save the new setup under some name like "A2at19200.ht".
**Note: If hardware flow control does not work, try "Xon/Xoff".
