Mini USB Serial Interface 

The pfSense SG-4680 has an integrated Silicon Labs' EFM32™ USB Microcontrollers that makes it simple to 
access the serial console without the requirement of a null modem cables.   

Serial Terminal Emulation Client

 

A serial terminal emulation program is required to access the pfSense SG-2440 console through the mini USB 
serial interface.  Microsoft Windows no longer includes 

HyperTerminal 

in Versions 7 and higher.  

PuTTY

 is 

free and can be downloaded from: 

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html 

  

Accessing the Console 

Connect a Mini USB cable to port #1 as shown in 

Figure 1

  on the pfSense SG-2440 and the other to a USB 

2.0 port on the computer with a terminal emulation program installed.  

Configuring Serial Terminal Emulator 

PuTTY

 must be configured to communicate with the pfSense SG-2440.   In order to do so, you must first 

know what Com Port your computer has assigned to your serial port.  Even if you assigned your serial port to 
COM1 in the BIOS, Windows may remap it to a different COM Port.  To determine this, you must open 

Windows Device Manager

 and view the COM port assignment.
