Netgate 8200
macOS
The device associated with the system console is likely to show up as, or start with, /dev/cu.usbserial-<id>.
Run ls -l /dev/cu.* from a Terminal prompt to see a list of available USB serial devices and locate the appropriate
one for the hardware. If there are multiple devices, the correct device is likely the one with the most recent timestamp
or highest ID.
Linux
The device associated with the system console is likely to show up as /dev/ttyUSB0. Look for messages about the
device attaching in the system log files or by running dmesg.
Note: If the device does not appear in /dev/, see the note above in the driver section about manually loading the
Linux driver and then try again.
FreeBSD
The device associated with the system console is likely to show up as /dev/cuaU0. Look for messages about the device
attaching in the system log files or by running dmesg.
Note: If the serial device is not present, ensure the device has power and then check again.
