Overview

The HP Serial Interface Adapter is a serial-to-VGA converter, which permits
VT100-capable devices to be viewed from the local ports of the HP IP Console
Switch and HP KVM Server Console Switch, or by using the HP IP Console
Viewer software. The serial data is not accessed but is displayed. All serial data
coming from the target device is displayed in a VT100 window, placed into a
video buffer, and sent to the console switch as though it came from a VGA
server. Keystrokes entered on a keyboard are sent to the attached device as
though they were entered into a VT100 terminal.
