So here is how to get HyperTerminal on to Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit).
On the Windows 7 box make a new folder under C:Program FilesHyperTerminal for 32-bit and for 64-bit make a new folder C:Program Files (x86)HyperTerminal

From a Windows XP box and copy the following 3 files to the folder that was just created on the Windows 7 box:

C:Program FilesWindows NThypertrm.exe
C:WINDOWSsystem32hypertrm.dll
C:WINDOWSHelphypertrm.chm

Now just run hypertrm.exe and HyperTerminal is on Windows 7.

If you want to have HyperTerminal on your Start Menu just create a shortcut to hypertrm.exe and put it inC:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms and when you go to All Programs under the Start Menu HyperTerminal will be there.

  I have used HT a lot over the years. When I got my Win7 box, I would just do an install of HT63PE, and accept that you could receive, but not transmit. So this interested me. I followed the instructions to the letter, but same result: I can receive normally, but cannot transmit characters. Tried all my USB ports, played with compatibilities, but still no luck. Any help out there?

  Why does this only give me the choice of tcp/ip winsoc? I need a com port 1 connection (db9 com port) for the equipment I'm communicating with.

  Thanks. To add, the way I got the files was attached my Virtual XP (old work apps need 16bit) in Disk management and pulled it right from there. No hassle looking for an XP machine to get the data from.

  You've got an error in this article, associating 32bit with ' c:program files ..' and 64bit with 'c:program files (x86) ..'
  where the opposite is true . Not a big deal for experienced people, of course ..
  And tnx for the info !

Most routers have a serial port used to connect to the serial port of your computer. Using Windows HyperTerminal, you can connect to the router and enter the commands necessary to set up the router on your network. When you connect to the router, the first prompt shown is the login prompt. Use the login that you originally set up when you installed the router to manage its services.

1.

Connect your computer to the router using the serial cable. Connect one side of the cable to your computer's serial port and the other side to the router's serial port.

2.

Open the HyperTerminal software in the Windows 'Accessories' program group. When you open the software, a connection window displays.

3.

Type 'Router' in the connection name text box. Select 'COM1' from the drop-down box. Change the baud rate to '9600' in the next configuration window and click 'OK' to connect to your router.

4.

Type your username and password to connect to the router's configuration console. Press 'Enter' to log in.
