Configure Linux for serial communication

If you do not have a terminal emulator, such as Minicom, you must obtain one prior to completion of this task.

IMPORTANT While a Linux system may not require installation of a device driver, it might require USB

parameters as you load the device driver to enable controller recognition.

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x210c product=0xa4a7 use_acm=1

You may also choose to incorporate the same information into the /etc/modules.conf file.

To configure Linux for serial communication:

1. Determine if the operating system recognizes the USB (ACM) device by entering a command:

cat /proc/devices |grep -i "ttyACM"

If the OS discovers a device driver, it responds with the device number followed by ttyACM, for example:

116 ttyACM

2. To query the system about USB buses and the devices connected to them, use the list USB command:

lsusb

If the OS discovers a USB device driver, it responds with the single serial port using the USB parameter hex

codes, for example:

ID 210c:a4a7

This confirms that the appropriate USB (ACM) device is visible to the management computer.

3. Invoke Minicom to configure it.

minicom -s

4. Select Serial Port Setup from the menu.

5. Select the parameter setting you want to change at the prompt by typing the related setting letter (A-G).
