You can leave the serial adapter connected ((Repeat the same process as we did in Tera Term to flash the DNS-323, except don't press any keys)) and check on the installation / boot-up sequence of the device to make sure everything is working OK. | At this point - assuming there were no errors - your DNS-323 should boot up with out problems with a default installation of either the Factory or Custom firmware you picked.
