Mikrotik – Use The Serial Port To Connect To Other Equipment
It’s sometimes useful to connect the serial port on your Mikrotik over to another piece of network equipment. I don’t need it very often, but it is quite useful for out of band management. The wiki article is here.
I made a quick video showing how to connect to a Cisco device. I’m using a standard Cisco console cable, which happens to be a null modem cable 🙂
Happy consling…happy consolo-ing…happy whatever it is that you will be doing with it. 😛
Wow, that is fantastic, thank you. We have a lot of clients switching to SIP trunks and if they have an older voicemail that has to be programmed over a modem, we’ve been unable to access it anymore; this could be very useful.

It can be a life saver 🙂
