With headless devices like our our ALIX, APU and net servers, sometimes you’ll need to connect directly to them via their serial console to figure out what’s going on.
Just follow the simple steps in our latest tutorial to connect to the serial console on your headless device and get it back under control.
Follow these four simple steps to connect to the serial console on your headless device, and control it using the command line.
All you need is your device, a terminal emulator, a null modem cable, a serial to USB adapter and your desktop PC.
