Apr 28, 2016  Bluetooth Serial Connection With Windows 10 Recently I have been using a HC 05 Bluetooth module connected to an Arduino and have found it incredibly useful. You can easily connect it to an Arduino serial port and use Bluetooth to communicate with the Arduino as if it were connected through serial USB to a computer.

HypertTerminal is Windows XP based application which helps you to communicate with COM ports, remote computers, Telnet websites, BBSs etc. or to perform TCP/IP (Telnet) operations. It controls all your serial devices using the Ethernet or Modem. Unfortunately, it is no longer available in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. So, if you recently upgrade your PC to Windows 7 or later versions from XP, you definitely miss the feature. To perform the same tasks (connect the computer to any remote computer), there are several alternatives for your current Windows version. You don’t need to downgrade the OS for using HyperTerminal in Windows.

• Prolific Usb to serial code 10. SOLVED Increasing number of Com Ports used. Drive 1 not found.Serial ATA, SATA-1. Ports (COM and LTE) not showing in Device Manager in windows 10. Com port setting in windows 10. Force assign COM ports using command line. Com Ports since last (April) update faulty.
• Window 10 Product Keys Serial Keys: If you are using genuine version of windows 7 and 8 then you can free upgrade to windows 10. There are several sites online providing activation key for windows but most of them do not work. Today we have find out and gonna share with you windows 10 product keys, serial keys that are guaranteed to work 100%.
• The Sabrent USB to the Serial SBT-USC1M converter is the perfect solution for transferring data from a PDA or digital camera. The USB to DB9 provides a connection between an available USB port and the more traditional RS-232 serial port found on many devices.

To control other serial devices you can use HyperTerminal alternatives for secure shell access. To troubleshoot modems using Windows 7 or 10 computers, you can use PuTTy as an alternative of HyperTerminal. However, there are valid points from Microsoft behind the discontinuing of Windows HyperTerminal service. The reasons are mentioned below in detail.

The Removal of HyperTerminal from Windows 7/Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10 – Reasons (Why)

• Shell access can be controlled using Windows PowerShell and ‘winrs’ command. Alternatively one can use the ‘WINRS’ command direct from command prompt.
• Phone and Modems option is the alternative of HyperTerminal to troubleshoot any modems related problems. Open Control panel and navigate to Hardware and Sounds >> Phone and Modem Options. After specifying country, country code, area code etc. you can troubleshoot the modem problems easily.
• From the Turn Windows features on or off one can enable Telnet client for Windows computer. Telnet is text based program to connect other PCs over the internet.

These are the main reasons for why the HyperTerminal built-in Windows program has been removed.

Use Original XP HyperTerminal on Windows 7, 8 or 10 Using Windows XP files

If you are still a Windows 10/7 lover, upgrade the PC recently and still want to use the native HyperTerminal program of Windows XP, here is a solution for you. You can copy the system files (hypertrm.exe and hypertrm.dll) associated with the Windows XP HyperTerminal program, and use it with the current edition of Windows OS. Let’s see how.

Open Windows XP computer and navigate to the below path and copy the files to a working USB flash drive.

C:Program FilesWindows NThypertrm.exe

C:WINDOWSsystem32hypertrm.dll

Then save these files in a folder of your Windows 7/8.1 or Windows 10 PC. Double click the ‘hypertrm.exe’ file to execute the HyperTerminal program on your latest Windows computer.

Alternatives of HyperTerminal for Windows 10/8.1/7

You can also try various HyperTerminal alternatives to give a try on your PC. Here, I mention popular and useful among these.

1. PuTTy: PuTTy is a free, open source windows based terminal emulator which is probably the best HyperTerminal alternative. It is the combination of Telnet and SSH. You need to have a COM port to use the PuTTy. “DB9 to USB converter” can work well if you don’t have an in build COM port. Configure the software to make a use of it.

2. Hyperterminal Private Edition: This is a paid HyperTerminal version to manage TCP/IP, COM ports, and dial-up modems. It is a commercial edition which allows you to chat directly to different devices using the serial COM ports.

Final Words:

HyperTerminal is no longer available in the latest version of Windows OS. There are many similar alternatives available on the internet. However, you can use the old Windows XP files to access the original HyperTerminal Windows 7/10 edition. Otherwise, try to use Putty or any other paid edition to take maximum benefits of the Windows HyperTerminal feature.

The latest PuTTY version can be downloaded here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

Windows Vista and Windows 7 only support the private edition of HyperTerminal. Windows 7 does not even ship with HyperTerminal. The private edition is NOT FREE for commercial use. Its license requires you purchase the application if used commercially, with the cost of the application being US$59.99, as listed on Hilgraeve’s website.

To use PuTTY for your serial COM connections, follow these steps:

1. Figure out the COM port you’ll be using.
2. Run PuTTY.
3. Switch the Connection Type to Serial.
4. Edit the Serial Line to match the COM port you want to use.
5. Edit the Speed to match the BAUD Rate you want to use.
6. Select the Serial category from the menu on the left.
7. Make sure all of the settings are correct (the settings in the screenshot are what I used for my session, yours could look different depending on what you’re connecting to).
8. Select the Open button to start the session.

Your connection should now be fully functional.

If you find yourself using PuTTY quite extensively, you could save settings to different profiles for fast future usage. To create a profile for your settings:

1. Make sure you have the settings you require.
2. Enter a profile name under Saved Sessions.
3. Click the Save button.

On your next PuTTY session, you can load your profile by selecting it from the list and clicking the Load button.

Logging is also a great feature that PuTTY provides. It lets you output your entire session to a log file. To enable logging, follow these steps before you open your connection:

1. Select Logging from the category list on the left.
2. Choose your desired logging method (All session output, printable output, etc…)
3. Enter a file name.
4. Select the file handling settings.
5. Open your connection.
