Connect your laptop to the Outposts server
Connect the USB cable to your laptop first and then to the server. The server includes a USB chip that creates a virtual serial port available to you on the laptop. You can use this virtual serial port to connect to the server with serial terminal emulation software. You can only use this virtual serial port to run Outpost Configuration Tool commands.
To connect the laptop to the server
Plug the USB cable into your laptop first, then into the server.
Note
The USB chip requires drivers to create the virtual serial port. Your operating system
should automatically install the required drivers if they are not already present. To
download and install the drivers, see Installation Guides
