Because laptops do not usually have a serial port, you need a USB-to-serial cable to connect the laptop to the serial port (DB-9) of the appliance. Trellix uses Prolific Technology Inc. adapters.
Important
A null/serial cable or USB-to-serial adapter is not provided with the appliance.
Connect the serial cable (or USB-to-serial adapter) to the corresponding port in your laptop/workstation.
Connect the other end of the serial cable (or USB-to-serial adapter) to the serial port of the appliance.
Use a serial application (such as PuTTY) to establish a connection. Specify the COM port assigned to the USB-to-serial cable.
