HyperTerminal is a terminal emulator program that runs in MS Windows. It offers a text-based command prompt interface on a remote device. The remote device is a serial device, and it could be a router, connected directly to the PC's serial port OR a network device. HyperTerminal is generally used for the local serial interface for communications or the network. In the case of the network, HyperTerminal is simply using the telnet protocol. In order to communicate with the device, the HyperTerminal must be configured on the right COM port (either COM1 or COM2) and at appropriate baud rate (most of the time 9600 for applications written here).
