WebSerial console other environment
A serial terminal in your browser — console into a switch or firewall over a USB adapter, nothing installed.
What 'other' means here
This tool lives in the green room because it uses the browser's serial hardware-permission API and holds a LIVE session — there is no fixed input and output to golden-vector. The catalogue's tools are pure functions; a live console is not.
This browser does not support the Web Serial API.
Web Serial is available in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera) on desktop. Open this page there to use the console.
Console access usually means installing a terminal program and hunting for the right COM port. The Web Serial API lets a browser talk to a USB-to-serial adapter directly, so you can console into a switch, router, or firewall from a locked-down machine with nothing installed — pick the baud rate, click connect, and the browser shows its own device picker.
The console is Chromium-only and permission-gated by design: the browser, not this page, decides which device you grant access to. Nothing that scrolls by is stored or sent; the scrollback lives in memory and is discarded on reload unless you download it.
