Hi all
I have a problem switch in our data centre, which is connected to a linux server via a serial cable. I know I can / could access the switch from my Windows PC back at the office, using hyperterm, but trying to access it using minicom just doesn't seem to work.
I have changed the comms in minincom to use /dev/tty0 & the baud rate to 9600, yet I can't seem to connect with minicom. Does anyone know how to connect to a serial device from the console?
try /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 for the serial ports. _______________________________________________
Sorry, I am using ttyS0 no tty0 - using ttyS1 doesn't help either.
Am I doing this right? I press CTRL + A + M to Initialize Modem, or should I be issuing a different command to connect?
