On the Vault, pin #1 of the COM port is the rightmost pin when looking at the port. The pinout for the COM Port and RJ-45 to DB9 cable is shown in the table below.

Verify the COM port session is now working.

Select “Console Redirection” and verify that it is enabled.

Select “Serial Port Console Redirection” and verify the screen is displayed.

Select “Advanced” Tab and use the Down Arrow Key to select “Serial Port Console Redirection”.

Enter BIOS as described above by pressing the “Delete” key during boot.

To verify that “Console Redirection” is enabled, do the following (note that you would need to connect a USB Keyboard and VGA or HDMI enabled monitor to your Vault in order to enable serial). If the COM port is not communicating, it may be because “Console Redirection” is not enabled in the BIOS. You should see a screen that looks like the following (note that the below screenshot actually shows COM port 4, not 3). If you wish to access the Vault’s BIOS, you can do so by repeatedly clicking the key as the Vault boots. Power on your Vault and you should start to see the equivalent of the VGA or HDMI output appear in the console window. Next, click “Open” and you will see a blank terminal window open. Next, change the “Speed” to be “115200” (this is the default value the Vault is set to).

On your computer, you’ll need to use extra software in order to access the COM port. Refer to the image below for where to find which COM port you need to use. This can be found in the Windows Device Manager (Start –> Settings –> Search for ‘device manager’). You also need to know what COM port your USB to serial adapter connects to. Be sure not to plug the COM port RJ45 into any of the Vault’s network ports. The adapter is based on the high quality FTDI FT232 chipset.Īdditionally we have confirmed the following USB C to RJ45 serial cables work:īy default, the Vault’s serial port is enabled, so out of the box, you can connect the RJ45 end of the blue serial port to the port labeled “COM” on the Vault. Necessary drivers should be automatically installed for Windows and Linux when connected, and are provided by FTDI. For the pinout of the COM port, see the table at the bottom of this article.įor users who do not have a DB9 port on their computer: we offer our Protectli USB COM Port here. If you’re running Windows 10, drivers should not be an issue. Plug your serial port adapter into your computer. Given that there aren’t many computers with COM ports these days, you’ll want to make sure you have a USB to Serial adapter ( like this), as well as the serial cable that was supplied with your Vault. Importantly, this output is used before an operating system boots, giving the user the ability to use the COM port instead of the VGA or HDMI ports for things like adjusting BIOS settings (if needed).Ĭonnecting to the COM port is relatively simple. This COM port is simply a redirect from the Vault’s display output (whether HDMI or VGA). Several models the Vault come with an external COM port that can be used to view the Vault’s console output.
