Note:
Laptops equipped with Windows 7 no longer have HyperTerminal. To install you
will need to find two files from your XP installation and copy them over to
Windows 7.
The two files you will need are hypertrm.dll and hypertrm.exe. Simply copy
those files into any directory on your machine and it will work. You should be
able to find hypertrm.exe in C:\Program Files\Windows NT and hypertrm.dll in
C:\Windows\System32.
If you have the Windows XP CD, you should be able to find both of these files in
the i386 directory on the CD.
Also please note that GE laptops no longer come with an RS232 serial port.
Using the ATEN UC-232A USB-to-serial adapter works fine. This is the one
recommended for the CARESCAPE Monitor B850/B650 and the S/5 Collect
software.
