Within this article we will be creating a named serial pipe on 2 machines to allow us to connect to a virtual machines serial port.
\nIn this example we will use hyperterminal on a virtual XP machine to connect to the serial port of another virtual machine (in this case SUSE Linux)<\/p>\n
Once we have a serial port on the 2 virtual machines (client and server) we need to set them accordingly.
\nWithin the hardware settings of the virtual machines serial port you will need the following settings as follows,<\/p>\n
Below you can see the settings for SUSE (the named pipe\/serial connection on the SUSE box)<\/p>\n
Below you can see the settings for XP (the name pipe\/serial connection we are connecting to),<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In order to connect go into windows open hyperterminal and connect to COM1, you will now be connected to the named serial pipe.<\/p>\n
If there is no connection you will need to make sure that you have not connected your Hyperterminal connection after the SUSE box has powered up. I normally open hyper-terminal in XP and then power the other device up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
