In a previous post I wrote about how to connect a USB-Serial converter to console into Cisco router and use the ‘screen’ command. To perform a password recovery on a Cisco router you need to issue a “terminal break” character to interrupt the boot process. The shows a lot of break sequences. The break sequence for “screen” is to use Ctrl-A and then Ctrl-B.
USB Serial Console Cable on OS X Recently picked up a new usb cable for connecting to my network devices and needed a refresher on connecting to the console. After installing device drivers (if necessary) and connecting the cable to your mac, open up a terminal and list the contents of your dev directory, filtering for devices with usb in their.
The Ctrl-A shifts the focus back to the screen process (away from the serial console) and the Ctrl-B issues the break sequence. You may need to break more than once. This is done by Ctrl-A, Ctrl-B, Ctrl-B, Ctrl-B. Ok, here’s what I did. Download – Installed ITERM download – install the opensource PROLIFIC drivers ——Not sure if this made any difference—— Open Network Interfaces – Selected USB-Serial D2″, created a new profile “SERIAL” Clicked Advanced.
