Review by:
5.0/5

Serial is a basic terminal emulator that can help you connect and control serial devices, such as servers, network equipment like routers or modems, PBX systems, and so on.

The good news is that Serial comes with built-in support for most serial devices, so you do not have to manually install any driver.

Once you launch the Serial application, the utility scans for accessible serial devices and automatically lists them in the Open Port or in the Open Bluetooth window. For your convenience, the app gives you the option to add user-friendly names to each entry.

For each connection, Serial opens a separate terminal window where you can easily interact with the device’s controls. If you are working with Cisco equipment, the “Break” function allows you to put things on hold while uploading configuration files and so on.

Serial is able to emulate Linux, Xterm, VT102, and ANSI terminal controls, but also provides support for the XMODEM and YMODEM protocols for transferring files. Moreover, it can connect to USB or Bluetooth devices or adapters, and offers support for international character encodings.

Even though you can connect to these serial ports using the built-in OS X Terminal application, Serial provides a more streamlined solution for system administrators that need to maintain various types of network equipment on a daily basis.

Serial proposes a user-friendly graphical user interface and helps you control and manage different serial devices connected to your network with minimal effort.

The utility integrates interface customization options if you want to personalize its look, but also packs useful features for handling Cisco devices, for finding specific keywords, and so on.
