Hi all, I am using Ubuntu 10.04 on a Lenovo S10 netbook, and need to connect to the console port of a Cisco 1841 router for configuration.
What I have: 1) 1 USB to Serial Port converter cable 2) 1 Cisco Serial Port to cable Has anyone done this? Sorry, but I've only ever used Windows Hyperterminal to do this, coupled with the appropriate drivers in Windows XP. I tried this to get the serial port location: http://blog.mypapit.net/2008/05/how-to-use-usb-serial-port-converter-in-ubuntu.html I've also tried installing both Minicom and Putty terminal software using Ubuntu Software Center, but don't know where to locate the programs after successful installation as the icons are not anywhere. Is there a better way(s) to do this? I would prefer a Ubuntu software like Hyperterminal for terminal emulation as it's more convenient to work with the GUI than the command line. Hope to hear from you all - many thanks!
