5. The SSPA will not normally echo back characters typed by the user in the Terminal
window. For added security and convenience, it is recommended to turn on Local Echo on
HyperTerminal itself. To do so, from the HyperTerminal top menu select as followed: File
Properties Settings ASCII setup. The resulting window is shown on Figure 11-8.
Check the box marked “Echo typed characters locally” and click “OK.” Due to a software
bug on some Windows versions this feature does not properly work even when checked.
To fix the bug, download the latest version of HyperTerminal (http://www.hilgraeve.com).
Do not use a version of Hyperterminal earlier than 6.3.
