Configuring HyperTerminal for Serial Console

HyperTerminal is the Microsoft Windows serial port access utility. To set the
size of your Virtual Console screen appropriately, use Hilgraeve's
HyperTerminal Private Edition version 6.3.
CAUTION:
All versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system include
Hilgraeve's HyperTerminal terminal emulation software. However, the included
version does not provide many functions required during Virtual Console. Instead,
you can use any terminal emulation software that supports VT100/VT220 or ANSI
emulation mode. One example of a full VT100/VT220 or ANSI terminal emulator that
supports Virtual Console on your system is Hilgraeve's HyperTerminal Private
Edition 6.3. Also, use of the command line window to perform Telnet serial console
may display garbage characters.
To configure HyperTerminal for serial console:
1 Start the HyperTerminal program.
2 Type a name for the new connection and click OK.
3 Next to Connect using:, select the COM port on the management station
(for example, COM2) to which you have connected the DB-9 null modem
cable and click OK.
4 Configure the COM port settings as shown in Table 5-7.
5 Click OK.
6 Click File  Properties, and then click the Settings tab.
7 Set the Telnet terminal ID: to ANSI.
8 Click Terminal Setup and set Screen Rows to 26.
9 Set Columns to 80 and click OK.
