or Minicom (from Unix/Linux).
The appliances support these serial console connectivity options:
USB type-C - Use the included USB type-C console cable.
l
RJ45 - Use the included DB9 DTE to RJ45 serial console cable.
l
Connection parameters for the appliances are: 9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
(8N1), Flow Control - None.
