How to use HyperTerminal in resetting the Symantec Firewall VPN appliance through null modem cable

Question/Issue:
HyperTerminal is an easy-to-use terminal emulation program that has shipped with every version of Windows since Windows 95. HyperTerminal lets you define connections to other computers through your modem or a direct cable connection.

Solution:

1. On the back of the Symantec Firewall VPN appliance, flip DIP switch #3 to down.
2. Connect the null modem cable to the serial port on the back of the appliance and to the serial port on the back of the computer.
3. Turn on the appliance.
4. Click Start and then Programs. Click Accessories and go to Communications and then select HyperTerminal.
5. Create a new HyperTerminal connection with the following parameters:
   Connect using Direct to Com1 (or Com2), click Configure, and then select the following Port Settings:
   Bits per second 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1, Flow control None.
6. Click OK. Click OK again and then click CONNECT.

On Windows 2000 you may need to give the connection a Name first or double-click the icon to launch HyperTerminal. Also, click Yes to enable if you are prompted.
