To set up the serial terminal on a Windows PC with PuTTY:
Open Windows Device Manager to identify the correct COM port.
Connect and disconnect the serial-to-USB dongle, and note which COMxx port appears and disappears (for example, COM10 is used in this guide; please use the COM port that matches your setup).
Open PuTTY and go to Category > Connection > Serial.
Configure the serial connection parameters as shown in the accompanying image, making sure to select the COM port that corresponds to your local setup.
Go to Terminal and enable the Implicit CR in every LF option.
Go to Category > Session and choose Serial for Connection type, then press Open.
