Build

The source code for this example application +can be found in the directory:

examples\SerialComms\ServerClientSide\GlassTerm

It +may be in the directory in which you installed Symbian OS, or it may be in src\common\developerlibrary\. +It includes the two project files needed for building: bld.inf and +the .mmp file.

The +Symbian OS build process describes how to build this application, which +results in an executable called \epoc32\release\<target>\<urel +or udeb>\GLASSTERM.EXE.

Usage

Run the executable GLASSTERM.EXE.

Executables +for the emulator targets wins and winscw can +be run on your PC. Executables for ARM targets must be copied to your target +platform before being run.
Once running, the glass +teletype application performs two simple functions:
- Read any key presses +and send the characters to the serial port.
- Receive any incoming +characters from the serial port and display them on screen.
It sends and receives at 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop +bit.

In order to see the application working, you must make a suitable +serial port connection. A simple way is to connect a PC and a Symbian OS phone, +and run the application on both machines simultaneously. (Before doing this, +make sure to close down any other applications using the serial port on the +PC, and set the phone's Link To Desktop option +to Off). Characters typed on one machine are +then echoed to the application on the other.
