Using valid internet sources, research the different terminal emulation programs, such as HyperTerminal and PuTTY, available to establish a console or remote connection to a router. Examine how Command Line Interface (CLI) interactions can be simplified by the use of these programs.

Discuss your findings. Compare and contrast the features among the different terminal emulation programs. Discuss how to establish a console connection to the router to perform the initial configuration, including the terminal emulation program you would recommend and the type of cable needed.
