Using Serial-To-USB adapter on Linux


As and when, I need to manage some network devices(Switch, router, firewall and etc...) with serial console. I bought serial-to-usb adapter since my notebook doesn't come with serial port.


I am using Linux as on my notebook. I use "screen" utility to connect serial device.
sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0
After I finish my job, I will kill screen session.
Ctrl+a+k
Press "k" to kill the session
Hope someone find it useful.
