After installing the telnet-server package with yum, configuring xinetd, and having the iptables firewall allow telnet connections, I was able to test logging in with Hyperterminal.įirst, I launch Hyperterminal and specify that I want to use the TCP/IP.Īfter connecting and authenticating, I now have a successful connection to my Linux VM. I am using a Fedora Core 15 system with the telnet-server package as the telnet server. In this example, I am going to use Hyperterminal to access a telnet daemon that is running on a Linux virtual machine on my network. For Cisco devices this is typically 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. HyperTerminal automatically detects the COM port and allows the connection settings (speed/data bits/stop bits/parity/flow control) to be set and the connected device to be accessed.
To access devices (such as Cisco routers and switches) and other devices that use a serial connection, I use a USB-to-Serial converter and use device manager to determine which COM port is emulated by the USB converter. HyperTerminal automatically detects COM ports, attempts to communicate over modems, and allows TCP/IP connections to be initiated using the telnet protocol. Two files are required for Hyperterminal to function in later Windows releases from the Windows XP installation:Ĭopy these files to the same directory on the target Windows 7/2008 R2 system and Hyperterminal can easily be launched by running the Hypertrm.exe executable.
Getting HyperTerminal in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 requires access to an installation of Windows XP (I used a recent ISO of Windows XP SP3). HyperTerminal was not released in any Windows version after Windows XP/Windows Server 2003. For TCP/IP connections and modem connections, the most common target is a telnet daemon set up on a Windows or Linux system in order to give access to a text based application or console. Hyperterminal communicates over serial connections (such as RS-232), via a dial up modem, or via the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP). Hyperterminal is an application that allows terminal emulation in Windows for some types of devices. Update: Need HyperTerminal for Windows 8 and windows Server 2012? Don't Have Windows Xp or Server 2003 anymore? Try these HyperTermoinal Alternatives.
