Dev Usb Serial Adapters Before

I did some searching on Amazon and came across this 2-pack of Rankie USB adapters that had rave reviews. Some worked some of the time and some didnвЂ™t work at all. I had tried several different dongles I had access to at the office. Since the MacBook lacks the necessary ports I had two options:Option 1: Get a dongle to go from USB-A to USB-C. I went through many other serial adapters before finding the Keyspan and I have trusted it ever since the day I got it.The only problem is that the Keyspan comes with a USB-A to USB-B cable. This wasnвЂ™t new for me as I have used and trusted this device for years.

If you love Putty on Windows youвЂ™ll be sad to know that Putty hasnвЂ™t been ported to the Mac yet. This CableCreations is AmazonвЂ™s choice for only $6.65.Next, the software. If you donвЂ™t want to deal with another dongle you can always get a USB A to USB C cable. The MacBook Pro is also, not so lovingly, called the вЂњdongle bookвЂќ for all of the dongles you need to connect to it. Option 2: Get a USB A to USB C cable.

The USA-19HS is the model number of the Keyspan, so I know its the device IвЂ™m looking for.Next, using that string of text launch screen by type вЂњscreenвЂќ then the directory and name of the Keyspan. Here is the output when I run the command on my Mac.As you can see about half way down thereвЂ™s a device called tty.USA19H145P1.1. YouвЂ™ll need to locate the drive for your Keyspan adapter and use it in the next command that calls on Screen. Plug the other end of the roll over cable to the console port.Next, pop open a Terminal window and run the following command:This will list all of the connections and their names.

IвЂ™m sure this process works on many others devices, but this is just my personal experience.Here are links to the items mentioned in this article and their prices at the time of writing.Tripp Lite Keyspan High-Speed USB to Serial Adapter, PC & Mac (USA-19HS) вЂ“ $24.99CableCreation 6.6ft Type C to USB 2.0 B Male Printer Cable Compatible MacBook Pro, HP, Canon, Brother, Epson, Dell, Samsung Printers etc, 2M/ Black вЂ“ $6.99Rankie 2-Pack USB C Adapter Hi-speed USB Type C to USB-A 3.0, Black вЂ“ $6. Screen /dev/tty.USA19H145P1.1 9600Then hit enter and youвЂ™ll enter your console session.In my experience this has worked on Cisco Firewalls, routers, and switches, and HP switches as well. For most console connections you can 9600, but check your manufacturer documentation first. Then enter the baud rate for the connection. So, I can usually type in вЂњscreen /dev/tty.USвЂќ and then hit tab to auto complete the selection.
