Guys,
I have a Keyspan USB to Serial adapter. Now I am trying to be able to connect to a Cisco switch via console serial cable using the Minicom utility. My problem is I don't know how to tell Minicom that my serial device is connected to /dev/ttyUSB0 or maybe it already knows & I just don't know how to use it...
Hello, I've never used minicom, but the man page has something about setting the serial device: CONFIGURATION By pressing C-A O you will be thrown into the setup menu. [...] Serial port setup A - Serial device /dev/tty1 or /dev/ttyS1 for most people. Otherwise, you can just use GNU screen ("screen /dev/ttyUSB0", or gtkterm. I've used both of them with a USB to serial adapter and I could connect to Cisco switches without any problem. Regards, -- Thomas/Schnouki
