Connection between Stratix III FPGA board and PS over Hyperterminal

Hi, I have a question about the connection between the Stratix III FPGA board and Hyperterminal from Windows. How can I communicate about Hyperterminal with the board. Why I want to do this?...

First of all thanks for your fast reply!

If I understand it right it is not possible to communicate with the board by using the JTAG UART whithout any software from Altera. And if I want to communicate with the board without a software from Altera I have to do it with the ethernet?

And what is about the other JTAG interface on the Stratix III FPGA EP3SL150F1152C2 on the buttom side of the board? There is also an "Device Select (J2) Jumper" to choose the JTAG, am I understand it right?

Thanks in advance for your help!
