7 Using Airconsole Serial port with Mac OSX
In version 2.5 of Airconsole and later, the Mac OSX Serial port driver now supports both
Serial over WIFI and also Serial over Bluetooth Low Energy. Running the
AirconsoleOSX app will detect the Airconsole adaptor and present it as a TTY line that
any terminal application can connect to as if it is a physical serial port directly attached to
OSX.
After connection Airconsole will work with terminal applications such as the
comprehensive OSX terminal applications (for example) Macwise, SecureCRT or Zterm
that require a kernel mode installed serial port.
Airconsole can also be accessed directly from the OSX terminal using the “screen” app
that is bundled with OSX.
For serial port support in OSX, download the Mac OSX Kernel mode Serial Port driver
from the above page on www.get-console.com/airconsole and install the package file.
If WIFI serial is required (for higher speed serial connections), ensure that your Mac has
an IP network connection to the Airconsole adaptor’s Wireless or Wired LAN prior to
launching the AirConsoleOSX.app
For simple Bluetooth low energy connections, ensure that Bluetooth is enabled in your
OSX System Preferences.
