AirConsole can be used as bridge/router between WiFi and wired connections also. The AirConsole device uses the USB to Serial adapter presenting a Serial port over WiFi/wired connections using Serial Over Telnet protocol (RFC2177). The FT232 chipset works better than Prolific one under Windows Vista/7/8 computers: if most of the Prolific drivers will crash Windows with a blue screen, the FT232 adapter is more stable. Then simply open a PuTTY instance and point it to the right COM port. It can be used without AirConsole adpater also: simply plug the adapter into a USB computer port and connect the other end to a console. The USB to Serial adapter uses a FT232 chipset: Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC Using a pretty old serial cable, usually to short.įew weeks ago my friend Gian Paolo convinced me to acquire an AirConsole adaptreor device which allows wireless serial connection using Linux/Windows/Android or Apple iOS devices.
A key task for most of network engineer is still connect to blank devices and configure them from scratch.
