Set Up Terminal Emulation
Your initial communication with the Roving Edge Device is made through the serial console that's connected
to a controlling host computer, such a laptop. The controlling host must have terminal emulation software that's
configured as described in this section.
We recommend the following terminal emulation software based on your host operating system:
Microsoft Windows: PuTTY
Mac OS X: ZOC or screen (for example: screen /dev/ttyusbserialX 115200)
Linux: PuTTY, Minicom, screen (for example: screen /dev/ttyUSBX 115200)
1. Based on your host OS, use the appropriate method to ensure that the pl2303 USB driver is installed. This USB
driver is required for connectivity to the Roving Edge Device DB-9 serial port.
The USB driver is preinstalled on Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel. The following command shows that the
USB driver is present:
[root@localhost ~]# modprobe pl2303
[root@localhost ~]# lsmod | grep -i pl2303
pl2303
[root@localhost ~]# modinfo -d pl2303
Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver
If the driver isn't installed, use the appropriate method to install the driver. For example, go to the Microsoft
Windows or Apple store to obtain and install the driver.
2. Configure the terminal emulator software settings as follows:
• Terminal Type: VT100+
• Bits per second: 115200
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1
• Flow Control: None
