HyperTerminal Setup Procedures
If using a serial console, follow these procedures on a Windows XP machine to
create a HyperTerminal session.
NOTE
: HyperTerminal is no longer included with Windows as of Microsoft’s Vista system.
Please note on Microsoft’s Web page “What happened to HyperTerminal?” at http://
windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/What-happened-to-HyperTerminal
(accessed August 16, 2011), Microsoft states: “HyperTerminal is no longer part of
Windows.... If you previously used HyperTerminal to control serial devices, you can
usually find a downloadable version of HyperTerminal on the Internet that is free for
personal use.”
If you are using a Windows Vista or Windows 7 machine to conduct these quick start setup
procedures and do not have an equivalent type of terminal emulator program installed on
your workstation, Hilgraeve, Inc., the maker of HyperTerminal, offers HyperTerminal
Private Edition for Windows Vista and Windows 7. The following information is included on
Hilgraeve’s Web page at http://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal.html (accessed August
16, 2011): “HyperTerminal Private Edition is an award winning terminal emulation program
capable of connecting to systems through TCP/IP Networks, Dial-Up Modems, and COM
ports.... Download HyperTerminal free 30 day trial.”
If you have a terminal emulator program other than HyperTerminal or a derivative of
HyperTerminal installed on your workstation, please specify these session settings:
•
