After you connected your cable as described above, and you started your minicom, you should receive a prompt from your RAD-PAD. It should be a single "*".
If you didn´t receive this prompt, you should press CTRL+P to exit the transfer-mode and obtain the PAD-prompt. Now you should type
CLR<CR> to disconnect the call.
Now verify that the PAD is free by typing the command
STAT<CR>
When you can see the PAD-Prompts * sign you can connect to the main-menue by typing
CON 00<CR>
C 0<CR>
Now you receive the following screen:
