minicom configuration for serial connection

Hello,

 

 

I am trying to diagnose a Viprion box, which has problem with loading. But I cannot connect a serial cable to the server. If I use default minicom configuration with 9600 baud rate, it returns non-sense result. So I would like to ask for configuration of minicom, which is standard for F5. (Baud rate, stop bits etc.)

 

 

Thanks so much

    Hi Martin,

     

     

    The F5 default is 19200, but I haven't tested this with a Viprion:
