Using HyperTerminal to validate connectivity

Use HyperTerminal to assist in determining if the connection between the client (PC) and server is good when using a local console that is directly attached.

HyperTerminal is a Windows® application used for connecting to various sources and is supplied by all Windows operating systems on the installation media, though might not be automatically installed. When the local console directly attached does not connect, you can use HyperTerminal to determine if the PC has connectivity to the server.
Note: The data is slow to display so be sure to allow 15 - 20 seconds for an action to complete before moving to the next step. Also keep in mind that some steps might not provide data to the window.
