Tutorial: Connect and manage the serial COM port on a Protectli Vault
Our latest YouTube tutorial walks you through everything you need to know to get started, from identifying your COM port to configuring the connection. Whether you’re a home labber, IT admin, or DIY enthusiast, using the serial console can streamline your Protectli Vault workflows.
Protectli Vaults come equipped with an external COM port that allows you to view the device’s console output directly on a connected computer. This COM port acts as a mirror of the Vault’s display, but with a key advantage – it functions even before the operating system boots up. This makes the serial console an invaluable tool for tasks like adjusting BIOS settings.
