Tera Term configuration for serial port (Windows PC)

Using HyperTerminal is very similar. To configure the serial port with HyperTerminal:

Enter the "File > Properties" menu

Select the COM port (for example COM1) in the "Connect Using" dialog box

Press the "Configure" button

Enter the 'Port Setting' fields accordingly

To save the current configurations select the "File >Save As" menu item.

Linux PC

As an alternative to Windows, you can use a PC with Linux OS.

In the examples below, a '$' symbol represents a normal user prompt while a '#' symbol

means a root level prompt. Please note that you need read/write access to the PC serial

port. If necessary, check your distribution documentation to enable it (for example, on

Fedora Linux systems you have usually to add your user to the "dialout" system group).

Minicom is one of the most commonly used terminal emulators for Linux. Assuming a

Fedora distribution for the host PC, to check the availability of Minicom, execute the following

command:

$ rpm -q minicom

To install minicom, if not found, execute this command from a root shell:

# yum install minicom

To start minicom, type the command:

$ minicom

To enter the configuration menu for the first time, press the key combination "Ctrl-A" and

then "Z" (in sequence).
