SecureCRT] How to Set Up a Serial Console Connection

-

The below setting values are used for HP DL380, DL580 (Red Hat Linux) or HP server (HP-UX). 



Setting Value Description
Port COM3 The serial port number on your laptop. COM3 is an example — use the actual COM port assigned to your serial-to-USB adapter or internal port.
Baud rate 9600 The speed of communication in bits per second (bps). 9600 is the default baud rate for most servers.
Data bits 8 Number of data bits per character. 8 bits is standard for ASCII data transmission.
Parity None Parity is used for error checking. "None" means no parity bit is used — common and standard for most connections.
Stop bits 1 Number of bits used to signal the end of a data packet. 1 stop bit is the most common setting.
Flow control XON/XOFF Software-based flow control that prevents buffer overflows by using control characters (XON to resume, XOFF to pause data transmission). Unlike hardware-based flow control like RTS/CTS.

If you're a frequent user of SecureCRT , backing up your session settings and restoring them later is crucial—especially when migrating to a new PC or recovering from a crash.

How to Set Up Vaultwarden (Bitwarden) on Synology NAS (Best Free Alternative to LastPass)

-
Image
Have you ever felt overwhelmed managing passwords for all your websites? I used to use the same password across multiple sites , which wasn’t secure. To manage them better, I started using LastPass for years. However, in 2019, they changed their pricing policy — now it’s free only for one device for 30 days, and you have to pay to use it across multiple devices . If you're looking for a powerful and free password manager, Vaultwarden is one of the best alternatives to LastPass. What is Vaultwarden? Vaultwarden (formerly known as Bitwarden_RS) is a lightweight, open-source implementation of the Bitwarden server API written in Rust . It is fully compatible with official Bitwarden clients and is ideal for low-resource environments. Example: On a Synology DS916+, Vaultwarden uses 0% CPU and only 64MB of memory while running. My Setup NAS Model : Synology DS916+ DSM Version : DSM 7.1-42661 Update 1 Docker Image : vaultwarden/server Ins...
