|  | ??? example "Access to PiKVM via serial" | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |     Serial is sometimes needed to recover your PiKVM or review what it's doing due to boot failures or due to general network issues | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |     * **Step 1.** Remove the PiKVM from the Target system | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |     * **Step 2.** You can reuse the OTG cable for this step, place the USB-C end into the IOIOI port (CON port on the v3), V2 you'll need to get the right TTY to USB cable, we recommend the [RPi Debug Probe](https://www.pishop.us/product/raspberry-pi-debug-probe/) and follow existing RPi TTY serial setups. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |     * **Step 3.** Place the USB-A end into the port you want serial to be accessed, typically done on the host | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |     * **Step 4.** For windows you may need to install this [driver](https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers), other OS's may not need one | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |     * **Step 5.** Install Putty (Windows) or use GNU screen (may need to install this on your Host if using another OS) | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |     * **Step 6.** Select the COM port in Putty (you can verify this looking in Device Manager), then select 115200 or use `screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200` for other OS's | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  |     * **Step 7.** You should now be able to see and interact with the Serial Port | ||||||
