serial port

hi,

I am using a Express card to connect a serial port to my laptop. In the device manager it shows me a COM port allocated t the card.

I have the following queries:

It shows me two COM ports

a) MSP430 FET serial port

b) Express card serial port.

In hyperterminal i select the b) port & establish a connection. Is it right?

After connection i debug the USCIA0 UARt echo code on MSP430 & run it.

When i do that i am unable to type anything if hyperterminal & if i do so it is not echoed back.

Can anyone help me how to go about this in hyperterminal or MATLAB.

Thanks in advance

Sid
