[title] Setup Terminal Emulator
-[* icon_note] To set up a network connection, we must use a terminal emulation program to talk to the Duet via the USB cable. We recommend using [https://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/|YAT] in Windows. This is because 3D printer host programs (such as [http://www.pronterface.com/|Pronterface]) send all characters in uppercase, and your WiFi settings (SSID and password ) are case sensitive.

+[* blue] Mac OSX Users: you can connect to your Duet using the built-in 'screen' terminal application, but we recommend using a GUI application such as [https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/serialtools/id611021963|SerialTools from the AppStore].
