one way you can do this is by writing the string "@CLS\r\n" to the serial device... I didn't have good luck with teraterm but after installing the windows subsystem for linux, then ubuntu from the windows app store, this worked without issue (note the numbers com from the com device in device manager:

printf "@CLS\r\n" > /dev/ttyS14

The only problem is that this will not work while the ascom server is running and hogging the serial port. There would need to be another serial multiplexing going on to do that.
