Controlled-device serial terminal

The serial terminal accesses the device physically connected to a serial port, not BliKVM's shell. It requires serial permission and correct voltage levels, wiring and port.

Configure​

  1. Check the target's electrical standard, such as TTL or RS-232, and use a matching adapter. Do not directly connect incompatible levels.
  2. Connect TX, RX, GND and other required signals using the hardware guide.
  3. As administrator, open Settings → Advanced & Diagnostics → Serial Settings, choose the actual port and matching baud rate.
  4. Ensure the option identifying the port as a target-device connection rather than the KVM system console matches the wiring.
  5. Open Serial Terminal, observe boot logs and validate harmless input.

If no port appears, check the adapter, driver and permissions. Garbled output usually indicates baud-rate or electrical mismatch. For no output, check wiring, target power and port ownership.

The v4 power port also serves its own system serial console; see the model guide. That function is separate from the target-device terminal described here.
