Select "Serial port set up" from the list with the cursor keys and set Note that minicom requires root privileges.
To start minicom then (assuming you have not configured it, but you In this case, the converter is attached to ttyUSB0, you when youĬonfigure minicom, you want to use /dev/ttyUSB0 as the serial port usb 2-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 So, plug it in, give it a minute and then type at a console port: It is a serial terminal program that runs from the command line, but can sometimes be a little fussy to get working, and I will admit that I have not used minicom with a USB/Serial converter.įirst, you have to know what tty port your USB/Serial converter is The good news: it is in all the repositories, so you can pull it down and install it quickly. Minicom is an old school program that is available for most of the distributions but may not be installed by default. So, in the interest of helping save you some time, here is a quick write up on using minicom with a USB/Serial adapter to talk to your TNC, specifically, a KPC. It was at this point that I realized I had forgotten more about Linux (and minicom) than I had about the commands needed to control the TNC.
To exit Minicom when in terminal mode press ‘Ctrl-A’ to get a message bar at the bottom of the terminal window and then press ‘X’.Over the weekend, I was showing Linux and Packet radio and for some reason I could not talk to my TNC, a KPC 3+.

Install minicom ~]# yum install minicom -y Here I am explaining how to configure minicom in linux for a console connection to Cisco Nexus 5K switch. Usually we use any console connection utilities like putty, minicom, RealTerm or cu. Those who work with infrastructure/server deployment knows how difficult it is to get a console for those devices having no display like switches, routers and a blade chassis/enclosure.
