Screen command for Console Cable on Netgate 2100

by Sep 9, 2025IT Tips0 comments

This is what I'm using from MacOS M1 with the Silicon Labs Driver Installed and it seems to work OK

I'm using iTerm2

# As root
# screen /dev/cu.usbserial-10 115200,-ixon

# Use CTRL A then CTRL \ and enter y to exit the screen session

Re the driver install downloaded from https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers

Ran the install program, the install program hung at about 3/4 progress. I ended up restarting my MacBook and it seems to have installed and loaded. Even though it stalls it works after a reboot

To plug the USB-A console cable into my Mac I'm using a Comsol USB-A female to USB-C male dongle.
