2.0 Setting Up VT-100 Terminal Management
When using the RS-232 Serial Port for VT-100 sessions, Canoga Perkins suggests that you use
HyperTerminal or some other type of terminal emulation program when using a PC.
CAUTION: The Microsoft Vista operating system does not include Hyper-
Terminal. If the PC you are using to connect to the 9145E uses
the Windows Vista operating system, you will need to install a
terminal emulation program.
The steps below describe how to set up HyperTerminal on your PC. For details on using MS Win-
dows, see your MS Windows documentation.
1. At your MS Windows desktop, select Start>All Programs>Accessories, >HyperTerminal.
2. At the Connection Description dialog, select an icon, enter a name for the connection to
the system, and click OK.
3. At the Connect To dialog, pull down the Connect using menu, select the COM port, and
click OK.
4. At the COM Properties dialog, on the Port Settings tab, check for these selections:
a. Bits per second: 9600 bps
b. Data bits: 8
c. Parity: None
d. Stop bits: 1
e. Flow control: None
5. Select File>Properties, and select the Settings tab. From the Emulation: dropdown menu,
select VT100.
6. Click OK. HyperTerminal connects to the system and the VT100 terminal emulation starts.
