First, get Tera Term.

Install Tera Term and open it.

Make sure to select the Serial option. If you have your badge connected to your PC prior to opening Tera Term, you should see it automatically. If not, restart Tera Term.

Press OK and go to the Setup option at the top of the Tera Term window. In the dropdown menu, click Serial port.
