Note: pfSense SG-4860 can be configured from iOS devices, however, the webConfigurator may not perform
as described on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. When browsing from one of these devices, switching to a
different theme will resolve this issue. The default theme functions correctly on an Android browser.
Switching to a more simplistic theme will allow for easier navigation, however.

Console Access by Serial Interface

There are times you may want to access the console through the pfSense SG-4860 serial interface. Perhaps
you have accidentally locked yourself out of the GUI console or you may want to assign a new password. To
do so, serial console access must be gained. A serial terminal emulation program and a Mini-USB cable are
required.
