Osx Serial Port Terminal
The terminal itself has two ports on the back, one marked MODEM and one marked AUX. From the manual, normally the device you're connecting to uses the MODEM port, and another ancilliary device like a printer uses the AUX port. These are both DB25 ports.

Apr 27, 2013 Hi, Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to connect to my Catalyst Switch over console using OSX terminal. I've got my blue DB9 - RJ45, bought a USB - DB9, ensured the driver was installed and followed various peoples advice and have had no results what so ever.

Steps to Set Up a Serial Terminal
- Launch Spotlight by pressing Cmd + Space.
- Type
terminal
. - Select the Terminal app.
- In the Terminal window, enter the command:
ls /dev/cu.usbserial-*
- In the list of connected devices, look for a device that contains cu.usbserial. In the example above, the device name is /dev/cu.usbserial-A402YSYU.
Note: If your device is not in the list, verify that your board is powered on and connected to your system. Select the appropriate link below: - Assembling the Intel® Edison board with the Intel® Edison mini breakout board
- Assembling the Intel® Edison board with the Intel® Edison mini breakout board
- Connect to the USB serial device using the Terminal screen utility by entering the command:
screen /dev/xx.usbserial-XXXXXXXX 115200 –L
where
/dev/xx.usbserial-XXXXXXXX
is replaced by your device unique name. Using the example above, the command would be:screen -L /dev/cu.usbserial-A402YSYU 115200 –L
Note: Adding –L to the command, as shown above, turns on output logging so you can see the results of your commands. To end a session in Screen type Ctrl + A and then Ctrl + K to kill the session. You will be prompted to end the session. - At the blank screen, press Enter twice. A login screen is displayed.
