Contemporary Research 7 232-MCT Mono Caption Tuner

Terminal

It’s also easy to use an RS-232 Terminal app for setup. The 232-MCT is shipped set to Standard Cable, and

the internal channel list is set to 2-126. To limit the channels, use the TR command and enter a list of

channels. If your PC is XP and you still have Hyper Terminal, you can enter the setup commands in a

Notepad text file, then select the page from HyperTerminal to clone the tuner. Download the HyperTune

file from Download for a manual and a sample text file. If you have Windows Vista or newer, search for Tera

Term and download the application. It’s a great Terminal application, and it also has a Send File option that

can send the text file.

To quickly "clone" MCT Tuners:

 Create a text file with Notepad as shown below

 Add an Enter at the last line (commands need it to be sent)

 Save by job name

 Open Windows Terminal (or Tera Term for Win 7 users) set up for RS-232 control (COM port, 9600,

8 data bits, 1 stop, no handshake) and connect.

 Select the HyperTerm Transfer menu, select Send Text File, and choose the file you've just saved, or

File/Send File in Tera Term
