Serial port

[Dipak]

Hi guys, I have FGT-80C & i can communicate device in serial/telnet using hyper-terminal/putty in windows OS but not able to serial port connection in Linux using putty or minicom in same setting. Telnet works fine in linux using putty. plz help me to access Fortigate in serial port using minicom . Boud:9600 data bits:8 stop bits:1 Parity:none Control:off

Hi Dipak. You likely need to configure minicom to use the correct serial port.

Hi Dave yes I have configured minicom same setting that worked in other OS on same PC. Also I can' t access serial consoles for my FGT with other application in that Linux destro. Confusion OS problem, Fortigate or settings??? Thanks for your reply DAVE.

Why would the FGT have a confusion? I agree with the above, your minicom is probably mis-configure. Try using screen and the dev and see if that works' screen /dev/serial0usb 9600,cs8 or whatever the device name

Good job. I find minicom to be a great program to use for terminal emulator on linux.
