3.4. Setting up the computer’s terminal emulation
In this example, we assume that the computer used in the upgrade is a PC equipped with Windows
XP operating system (OS). In case of other operating systems/computers, refer to OS’
documentation for details on using an OS specific terminal emulation program.
The instructions below are for PuTTY (PuTTY is a freeware terminal emulator application which
can act as a client for the SSH, Telnet, rlogin, serial and raw TCP computing protocols).
You may also use the HyperTerm, which is a default application in WIndows XP, but because of
certain screen layout restrictions, it would be better to use PuTTY or other third party terminal
emulator, like Tera Term Pro.
Ensure the terminal is set for 19200 bps, 8 data bits, none-parity, 1 stop bit and no flow
control on your computer as in image below. See the next chapter for configuration details.
