Appreciate your reply Mayur and apologize replying late. ​This is a sandbox and after the weekend I had to prioritize production needs today. Also I have to involve another team to get console access. I am looking in to installing a program to tunnel the serial port data to a TCP port so that I can remote in independently. Once I get a chance I will look in to it and let you know how it goes. Once again thanks a lot.
