Connect to routers, servers, firewalls, industrial control and IoT devices with ease.
See every byte received in raw hex format allowing you to work with devices lacking a text-based interface. A new send panel allows you transmit data in hex format too.
Serial is now a full featured SSH client with a comprehensive built-in identity manager and the ability to organize and group your favorite hosts.
Serial now includes comprehensive support for Telnet, including the RFC2217 extension for remote serial port control supported by many serial device servers. Serial supports raw TCP sockets as well.
Serial is a full-featured terminal emulator supporting Xterm, VT102, and ANSI terminal controls. This allows you to navigate the menu-driven interfaces found in many routers, firewalls and switches and use text based programs including emacs, vi, and nano as if you were connected over the network.
Serial includes built-in, reliable support for almost every serial device on the market, sparing you the hassle of finding, installing, and updating drivers.
Amazing Tool
I frequently access Cisco equipment, and I used to use ZTerm all the time. But, since it no longer works on modern version of MacOS, I had to find something different. Glad I stumbled across this gem - it's much simpler to use than ZTerm, and I haven't had a single issue. Thanks! — Pale0phyte
Finally! An app by someone who understands
Serial apps don't need to be flashy, but this one has 2 killer features that most serial terminal apps totally miss that are a massive convenience for network device programming:
1. An easy way to send serial break
2. paste buffering so that copy/paste into a terminal won't overflow the serial buffer and drop your connection.
I've been programming network devices for 20 years and the paste buffer in this app is the first time i have seen this implemented. No more terminal session drops half-way through pasting in configuration directives! No more guessing how much i can paste without dropping my session!
5 stars. If you program equipment via RS232 this app is better than anythign i've used prior on any platform for the specific reasons above. — throAU
Seriously, still the best terminal emulator ,,,
... on any platform.
Better than Br@y's terminal or TeraTerm on Windows. Better than screen on the command line.
What's great about it is that it has drivers for all sorts of USB-to-serial devices, even some for which no macOS driver exists. — AP in Tucson
