Serial Port

Connecting to a Mikrotik router via serial cable

Serial Cable

If your device has a Serial port, you can use a console cable (or Null modem cable)

(Blue Cisco flat serial cable with RJ45 -> DB9 adapter on each end)

Connection

Plug one end of the serial cable into the console port (also known as a serial port or DB9 RS232C asynchronous serial port) of the RouterBOARD and the other end in your PC (which hopefully runs Windows or Linux). You can also use a USB-Serial adapter.

Program and Settings

Run a terminal program (HyperTerminal, or Putty on Windows) with the following parameters for All RouterBOARD models except 230:

115200bit/s, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, flow control=none by default.
