SerialComing

Connect to routers, switches and boards through a serial port.

Connect

Choose Serial in Hosts, pick the serial device (a USB serial adapter, for example), and set:

• Speed (baud);
• Data bits, Parity and Stop bits;
• Flow control: none, Hardware (RTS/CTS) or Software (XON/XOFF).

Most consoles use 9600 or 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. The connection opens in a tab like any session, and the tab stays open until you close it.

If no devices are listed, check the adapter is plugged in and that any driver it needs is installed.

Presets

Give a connection a name to save it as a preset, so it’s one click next time. Presets are saved on this Mac only; they aren’t part of your vault and don’t sync. Deleting a preset deletes only the saved settings.
