The two programs can be used to accomplish terminal emulation for configuring a router from a PC. The first program is known as Syntax Processor and the second is known as Shell Commands. Both programs take input from the user and produce output. The first program can be used to input the desired settings for the router and the second program can be used to produce output that will be used to configure the router.
