2. Select 'Get Trademark'. Click on Send button. You are supposed to see the board response in hexadecimal and text form.
3. Click on Clear button to clear display fields.

Notes:
Connection/initialization takes some time, so be patient.
Dgt Board has a habit of missing/ignoring commands. It helps to send a command several times.
Though StarTech Serial Adapter Cable is rather expensive, it uses a separate power source that not only feeds the adapter, but the phone as well, so there are no time limitations to the phone usage.

If you find another compatible adapter or have some questions/comments/information please contact me at ab.chesspad@gmail.com.
