Getting Started
2.0 Configuring Terminal Management
When you use the EIA-232 Serial Port for VT-100 sessions, Canoga Perkins suggests that you
use HyperTerminal or another type of terminal emulation software on a PC.
NOTE: Microsoft Vista does not include HyperTerminal. If your PC uses the Vista operating sys-
tem, you will need to install a terminal emulation program.
To set up HyperTerminal on your PC:
1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal.
2. At the Connection Description dialog, select an icon and enter the name for the
connection. Click OK.
3. At the Connect To dialog, select the Connect Using menu. Select the COM port and
click OK.
4. Select the Port Settings tab from the COM Properties dialog. Make the following
selections:
a. Bits per second: 9600 bps
b. Data bits: 8
c. Parity: None
d. Stop bits: 1
e. Flow control: None
6. Click OK.
7. Go to File > Properties >Settings and change the Emulation setting from Auto detect to
VT100.
8. HyperTerminal connects to the system and the VT100 terminal emulation starts.
