TeraTerm (I use this for anything Serial Port related, rather than mucking with my putty config)
TeraTerm is also easier to turn session logging on mid-session than putty.
You also need two of these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007T27H8/
One you use, and another you leave in your laptop bag and never touch or mention to anyone that it exists, so they won't try to borrow it.
With luck, you may go a long time before you NEED a USB to DB9 console adapter.
But when you need one, you probably need it pretty badly.
Maybe make sure it's all plugged in fully, if not that then possibly something is faulty. I used https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RY75V7Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_x4MUFbY6JXAF2 and it works just fine.
Some console controllers had proprietary ports, so I don't think they can be directly attached to PC.
This looks like a serial port though, haven't seen it in a while, don't think newer computers have it. A quick online search shows there are Serial to USB cable available, you can give them a try. An example: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Converter-Prolific-Chipset-CB-DB9P/dp/B00IDSM6BW/ref=sr\_1\_3?dchild=1&keywords=serial+to+usb+adapter&qid=1632740016&sr=8-3
I looked into this a lot when debating on getting the Chroma dock. No idea if what I’m about to say is correct or not, but here was my thinking - both of my monitors highest data capacity ports are display ports so knew I wanted to use those. I know some new monitors have thunderbolt 4 ports but mine don’t have it unfortunately. To connect to the chroma, I went in thinking I had to buy display port to thunderbolt 4 cables ideally. The closest I found was display port to usb-c which supports up to 4K at 60hz or 2k at 144hz. In looking into this closer, my main monitor is 164hz at 1920x1080 (roughly 2k) so I was happy with getting the 144hz from the usb-c connection so I decided to try the display port to usb-c cable. Here is the link to it on Amazon. After getting everything setup, I am getting pretty darn good FPS on heroes of the storm at - averaging 150 FPS

I've had great luck with this cable connecting a Brocade switch to a Mac:
The best Mac client I've found so far is Serial:
Very much yes. A USB-C (DisplayPort Alt mode) to DisplayPort is native DP all the way through and should work much better.
Similar to how DP can output HDMI, a USB-C port with DP-Alt mode can natively output DisplayPort video.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Certified-Gold-Plated-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B07RY75V7Q/
What are your thoughts on this? Can I go straight from the thuderbolt 3 port on my laptop to the monitor? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RY75V7Q/ref=ox\_sc\_act\_title\_1?smid=A1RHBUCNY9R68C&th=1

Check out this item. But of course mine is based as Amazon SG. So your country might have a different url.
But this is not the right angled version. I bought the right angled version from a regional ecommerce site. Cheaper too.
Do you know what the problem could be then? Because it's capped at 120hz and the cable supports 2k @ 144hz The cable: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible-MacBook-Surface/dp/B07RY75V7Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=displayport+auf+usb+c&qid=1611306957&sr=8-6
This is the one that I use.

no problem. This is the one i have. And its working perfect. Get full refresh rate. And you are right, hdmi is very lmited. I have hdmi running to my none gaming/editing monitor.

Will a USB-C to DisplayPort work? Like this one: https://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Certified-Gold-Plated-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B07RY75V7Q/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=thunderbolt+to+displayport&qid=1597731201&sr=8-4
One of the random Cisco things I've acquired (I think it was my 5760 WLC) came with an RJ45-to-DB9 console cable that I figured I'd never use. I mated that with this USB-to-Serial converter and it seems to be happy with all of my Cisco stuff as well as with the HPE switch that blew up the cheap "integrated" cable.
I've used the same USB-to-Serial converter to power my kiln controller, which uses an industrial PID controller with a "real" RS-232 interface, for years without any issues. So if it is a counterfeit Prolific chip, Prolific hasn't noticed it.
I just purchased these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D9R5JFK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
I have never used it. Do you know the procedure?
It could well be a combined serial / PS/2 device. There’s a good write up on the differences at http://www.doublehammer.com/help/phserps2.htm - but the simplest solution is probably just to get a serial to usb adaptor like https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Converter-Prolific-Chipset-CB-DB9P/dp/B00IDSM6BW/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=1YROVDUBQ2SI9&keywords=db9+to+usb+adapter&qid=1661858013&sprefix=db9+to+%2Caps%2C74&sr=8-3
I assume you PLM has an RJ45 connector on one end and a DP9 serial connector on the other end, right? If that's true, you can just continue to use that cable and add a Trendnet TUS9. HomeTroller Pi units are compatible with that adapter.

Thank you for answering the question! I have a couple follow ups:
Thanks again!
Your photo just shows your local directory and not the actual photo, but it appears that this would be the cable you're looking at?
Serial cables are fairly common and it appears that the listing I linked was just using a bunch of BS buzzwords to justify the insane price, but something like this appears to use the same or equivalent converter chip.
This isn't possible via FortiExplorer. You need console access to the box.
> I'm asking because if that's possible it would be a much easier physical connection that I could do now.
The intent is to force you to have physical access to the box. Allowing it via wireless, would inherently increase the chances of exploitation.
Other option is to have something like opengear hooked up to the console interface for remote kvm access.
I use a https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Converter-Prolific-Chipset-CB-DB9P/dp/B00IDSM6BW
Connect to the firewall using the following:
Setting Value Speed Baud 9600 Data Bits 8Bit Parity None Stop Bits 1 Flow Control No Hardware Flow Control Com Port The correct com-port
plug that into putty, find your com port in device manager, hit connect. Should work.
I tried a straight connection from USB-c to USB-c but I think the cable may have not had video capability.
I just connected a DP to HDMI(same setup as my other monitor) and it worked fine.
Here is a link to the exact cable I am using.
Thanks to everyone for the info. Wanted to ask if this cable (https://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Certified-Gold-Plated-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B07RY75V7Q?th=1) is what I'm looking for? I'm interested in 1440p 165hz.
I'm a bit impressed you found a PC with a serial port in this day and age. :)
I always carry with me the following cable. Just install the drivers from the manufacturer's website, plug this cable in, check which COM port number Windows assigned it, put that COM port number into Putty or whatnot and then your should be connected to your Netgear switch's console.

You haven't mentioned which laptop model/brand you have, so it's hard to say, but most current gaming laptops will have a USB-C port, usually on the back, which have display port capabilities. In that case you just need a USB-C to Display Port cable like this:
I'm not recommending this specific cable, just pointing to the type of cable.
It's also interesting to check which port of your laptop is connected directly to the discrete GPU, usually you see that by going to NVidia control panel or looking at google :-)
If you have a USB hub, why not just get a USB to TTL serial cable like this one:
The logic levels are compatible so you'd just connect the cable to the chosen UART's TX, RX, and GND pins directly (flipping them of course TX->RX and vice-versa) and then opening another serial terminal using PuTTY or another terminal app.
All good! New cable arrived and so far everything is working well, MacBook Pro detected the screen straight away and no flickering at all. Same with the Dell laptop. It auto detected at the full resolution, really pleased. The cable that I bought that worked was this one:

Looks to be a nice monitor, dare I say I’m looking forward to work tomorrow so I can use it properly!
Details? What monitor are you plugging into? What cable are you using?
I just game on the laptop display but you should be able to game on an external just fine.
Something like this should be all you need for a single monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RY75V7Q
