Juniper SRX210

Connecting to device

Using the serial port to USB adapter, connect to the console port on the SRX210. On the computer, run lsusb and find the ID of the device in question and run the following commands

# Example:
Bus 005 Device 002: ID **067b:2303** Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
 
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x**067b** product=0x**2303**
 
sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600

this should connect the terminal session to the device: default login is root without a password.
