Hyperterminal comes loaded in your PC as part of the accessories. Go into “All Programs”, then
select “Accessories”, then select “Communication”, then select Hyperterminal. It will ask you to
setup a new connection. Create a new connection with the name “6600-NG”. A dialog box
named “Connect To” will appear. The bottom selection in this box is “Connect using”. From the
drop down menu in “Connect using”, select “COM1”. Select “OK”. A new dialog box will open
named “Com1 Properties”. Setup the Port Settings as follows:
Bits per second: 9600
Data Bits:
8
Parity:

None
Select “Apply”. Then select “OK”. This will take you into the “6600-NG Hyperterminal”
window.
2.
Select “File”. Select “Properties”. A new dialog box “6600-NG Properties” appears. Select the
“Settings” tab. In the “Emulation” menu select “ANSI”. Select “OK”. Now you are back in the
“6600-NG Hyperterminal” window. Select “File”, select “Save”. Close this window. A warning
appears, select “Yes”. Hyperterminal is now setup.
3.
To verify that the 6600-NG file is setup in Hyperterminal, select “All Programs” from the
desktop, select “Accessories”, select “Communications”, select “Hyperterminal”. The “6600-NG”
icon should appear. If it does not appear then you will need to repeat steps 1 and 2 above.
