Using Windows Terminal and
HyperTerminal
You can use a PC running terminal emulation software as the manager console,
instead of a terminal. There are many terminal emulation applications
available for PCs, but the most readily available are the Terminal and
HyperTerminal applications included in Microsoft Windows 98, 2000, and
XP
Professional. In standard Windows installations, HyperTerminal is
available from the Communications submenu.
The key to successful use of terminal emulation software with the switch is to
configure the software and switch with matching communications parameters.
The following procedure can be applied to most terminal emulation programs.
Dialog boxes in the procedure are from Windows 2000 and XP
Professional.
To configure Windows HyperTerminal for 2000 and XP Professional
1. Start the program in Windows by doing one of the following:
• Select Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal.
• Double-click the Hypertrm.exe icon.
2. In the Connection Description dialog box:
• Enter a name for the connection, such as Admin.
• Select an icon from the scrollable list and click the OK button.
