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.
Marvelous
Have been trying for a week to flash Firmware to my Creality CR10S V2 Pro 3D printer. Once I had USB C to USB Mini B cable without any adapters this App facilitated the process in a very straight forward manner. — Vcpat
Mandatory tool to any network engineer
I am a network engineer who's been working for a manufaturers for the past 25yrs.
Serial is my goto program when I have no choice but hit the console port of those boxes in our lab.
It is perfect when coupled with an FTDI usb-serial adapter and provides the nice bells and whistles that come with a GUI.
Whether you end up needing VT100/220 Xterm etc. all those needed emulations are here. Tha't quite appreciated when you work on headless CPE VM hosts...
All-in-all, excellent piece of software. Thanks! — Hal06
Just Works
Works great unlike many other apps out there. My only knock is that it doesn't offer a trial or lite version. I was hesitant to buy at first but took a leap of faith and I wasn't disappointed.
It's also nice that the developers seem to stay on top of product updates. — spidey527
