Serial to USB cables
These days serial ports on PCs are few and far between so serial to USB cables are needed to communicate with firewall console ports. On linux minicom can be used to communicate with them from this
- Install minicom (sudo apt-get install minicom in debian/ubuntu)
- start it up
- CTRL- A to bring up the menu
- Press Z then O
- In serial port setup choose A (usually it'll be /dev/ttyUSB0 you set it to)
- then choose E and change the port speed to 9600 .
