Use Serial Port in Virtual Machines Running on Vmware Workstation and ESXi

6/01/2014 Vmware

1. Using Serial Port in the VMs running at Vmware Workstation

Named Pipe TCP Proxy is the one I am using on my laptop to connect to Named pipe on my Vmware Workstation VMs. The Configuration looks like following:

Virtual Machine's Settings

Named Pipe TCP Proxy's Settings

SecureCRT's Settings

2. Using Serial Port in the VMs running on ESXi

In ESXi, it is already built-in feature for Vms.

ESXi VM's Settings - Near End is set to Com1 and Server mode, waiting windows serial client to connect to it

Windows 7 VM's Settings - There are four serial port added , and Serial port 1 has been set to Com1 as a client.

SecureCRT's Serial Connection setting
