PIX Console Connection
From LinuxServerTech
Plug the blue wire that came with your PIX into the PIX, and the serial port on the back of a computer.
- For Windoze, just use Hyper Terminal (Start | All Programs | Accessories | Communications | Hyper Terminal).
- For Linux, I use minicom, but there are tons of other programs, including some with pretty windows if you need them.
- For OSX, I have no idea. Will try to figure that one out.
Set the Serial port configuration to:
| Entry | Value |
|---|---|
| Baud | 9600 |
| Data Bits | 8 |
| Parity | None |
| Stop Bits | 1 |
| Flow Control | None |
Turn on the PIX, then make the connection (Note, if you are trying to get into monitor mode, make the connection, turn off the PIX, turn the PIX back on, and hit the BREAK key or the ESC key).
When you have made the connection, hit the enter key for a console prompt. That is all there is to it.
