Connecting to the Console Port
This guide shows how to access the serial console which can be used for troubleshooting and diagnostics tasks as well
as some basic configuration.
There are times when directly accessing the console is required. Perhaps GUI or SSH access has been locked out, or
the password has been lost or forgotten.
Install the Driver
A Silicon Labs CP210x USB-to-UART Bridge driver is used to provide access to the console, which is exposed via
the USB Micro-B (5-pin) port on the appliance.
If needed, install an appropriate Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge driver on the workstation used to connect
with the device.
Windows
There are drivers available for Windows available for download.
