Connect what to what?

 

FWIW; In minicom you will probably need to set the modem "/dev" to that device

 

e.g  /den/ttyusb01

 

You can also run the minicom -s  or even  minicom -p /dev/ttys01 if you knew you device type. You can also use screen in the same fashion

Did you run it from the cli with the "-s" switch as listed earlier? Did you  read the manpages?  Did you set the com port from the cli as mention earlier? Is the device /dev/ttyUSB0 the correct serial port? And do you have a serial-2-USB adjater going to the rj45 serial port?

 

FWIW  Not 100% sure if you can use the usb-port direct to management port if that's what your trying todo
