I can't help you specifically with the 7520, but I can give you "Victor's
quick and dirty guide to communicating over the serial port":
-If you don't have the right bps rate set, you won't see anything. What bps
rate does the documentation say to use?
-If you don't have the right flow control type set, you won't see anything.
it should be either hardware (CTS/RTS) or software (Xon/Xoff), or neither, and
never both. What does the documentation say to use?
You shoul dbe changing these settings in the connection profile in
HyperTerminal or whatever you're using. Don't modify the port settings
directly from the Control Panel in Windows.
