MikroTips: serial console

[artisbernats]

Great tutorial! We need more videos with Elvis!

[CoreProOfficial]

MT you are doing a brilliant job that's what people look for, some of the short videos are incredible, and many of my friends "did you see..., did you see on MT channel a new video?"..., I think that videos like this one sell more devices than any "deep dive" 1h+ videos that many bloggers do!

Holy sh*t, that's amazing! I knew about usb serial and all that jazz but these different kinds of access are so cool!

[blindside]

Thanks for that tutorial, it show us how do the own mgmt serial network, perfect next to RoMon :) Title can be "MikroTik: do serial console backdore" :)

I once left home without the serial cable (i havent used it for a year, i dont need it in my bag, right? :D ), it was a bad day :(

[ScottEvans-vkhse]

This is essentially what you are doing when using the Mikrotik Woobm-USB device! 😝

[drumaddict]

used it so often over the years ... totally great

but what does not work any longer on rOS is console to console any longer as far as i experienced it

[cisarpavel]

It would be nice to show the diagram of example infra you are using. What is connected where.

Do you have a list with usb adapters compatible with Mikrotik?

[rfauske]

Is there plans to include drivers for Silicon Labs CP2108 USB to Quad UART Bridge that presents 4 serial ports? . Its for the console on a NOKIA device.

Only gotten it to work on windows but not in OpenGear og Mikrotik

Does this work with RB5009? I don't see usb2 when I plug my USB to RJ45 serial cable in

[javierhorrillo]

It will be great to know the set of cables need it. Apparently you have a usb to db9 (male serial db9?). Then something like a flat serial (or maybe null modem) and then the db9 (male or female?) to rj45.
I have a usb to db9 male and db9 female to rj45 male. I have successfully try:
- Using ltap-mini + db9 female to rj45 male: access to a 4011
- Using hAP-ac2 + usb to db9 male + db9 female to rj45 male: access to a 4011

However, by adding a female/female db9 mini gender convertor I cannot connect hAP-ac2 usb to ltAP-mini db9 or the other way around. Guess I'm missing a null modem instead, (female to female) right?

They could have shown how to connect the thing up, i.e. what cables are required.

[johnnykernel]

Can I connect to the hAP ac² console via its USB?
