How to use putty as Hyperterminal
You will need to have a COM port on your machine whether laptop or desktop in order to connect your console cable first. If you do not have one, then USB port is basically available on almost all computers so you would need a DB9 to USB Converter – Assuming you now have the converter/port, you will connect one end to your device and the other end to DB9 which goes into USB port on your computer, or if you have a com port, then connect directly. You now need to have the com port number, which you can get from Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT) Once you have it, you will then start to Configure PuTTy with your Console Settings Open PuTTy and click Serial from the left pane which is the last option. This is where you will conf. your terminal settings: eg for a Cisco router, this will look like this:
Now click the Session button in the left pane, the first option and select Open.
This will get you connected to your device and you will be using PuTTy as your Hyperterminal
