If you want to use the Airconsole shell to connect to one of its serial ports but need to specify line settings each time, then it is possible to use the "serialport" command from the Airconsole shell.


This is useful when connecting to the Airconsole via Telnet or SSH.


To use this feature, log into the Airconsole shell via SSH or Telnet and then run the serialport command. This takes two optional parameters

-p specifies the serial port to connect to (from 1 unto the number of ports installed)

-l specifies the line settings to use - e.g. 9600,8n1 or 115200 or 57600,7e2, etc


See the example below:


mbp:~ daniel$ ssh [email protected]
