A HyperTerminal session lets you communicate with a device in this case an SP connected over a COM port to a Windows server or laptop station.

If you do not have a Windows station available, you can use terminal emulator software for Linux systems. The remainder of this guide describes the steps you would encounter using HyperTerminal on a Windows server or laptop; the procedure for other systems is similar.

b.When the software asks for a name, create a meaningful name (for example, SSR212PP2f), and then click OK. The software displays a Connect to screen.

c.In the Connect using box, select COM1 or COM2 from the pull-down list. The software displays a settings screen.

d.Select the following settings:

Bits per second: 9600

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow Control: None

e.Click OK. The HyperTerminal session is now running, as you can see from the timer displayed at the lower left of the screen. You use this session to communicate with the SP.
