[title] Selecting a Terminal Emulator |
[* icon_note] To set up the network connection on the Duet, we must use a terminal emulation program to talk to the Duet via the USB cable. |
[* icon_note] We have recommendations for what software to use on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. This is because 3D printer host programs (such as [http://www.pronterface.com/|Pronterface]) and other terminal emulation programs may send all characters in uppercase, which causes problems when making changes to WiFi settings, as the SSID and password are case sensitive.

[* blue] Mac OSX users: we recommend using [https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/serialtools/id611021963|SerialTools from the AppStore]. You can also connect to your Duet using the built-in 'screen' terminal application. |
[* blue] Linux users: we recommend using CuteCom, but you can also use Terminal-based tools such as Minicom, or the built-in 'screen' command. |
[* icon_note] The following three steps explain how to setup a terminal emulator to connect to your Duet, for each operating system.
