+
+??? note "Connect to PiKVM via SSH"
+
+    SSH is the most common remote access method in the Linux world. PiKVM is accessible via SSH. This method is used to manage the device:
+
+    * **Linux, MacOS:** Open any terminal application and run: `ssh root@192.168.0.100` or `ssh root@pikvm`.
+    * **Windows:** Use [PuTTY](https://www.putty.org/) for this.
+
+    **The default `root` password is `root`.**
+
+??? note "Connect to PiKVM via serial console"
+
+    A serial console is a convenient and fast way to connect to PiKVM when there is no network, or get boot logs and a console if something goes wrong.
+
+    1. Connect to the physical UART console:
+
+        * On PiKVM V3 or V4, you have a built-in USB-UART adapter in your device. Just disconnect the OTG cable and place the USB-C end into `IOIOI` port on V4 (or `CON` port on V3). Place the USB-A end into the port you want serial to be accessed, typically done on the host. If you have a Windows host, 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.
+
+        * On DIY PiKVM V1 or 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.
+
+    2. Install GNU Screen on Linux or macOS host, or [Putty](https://www.putty.org/) on Windows.
+
+    3. Select the COM port in Putty (you can verify this looking in Device Manager), then select **115200** baud, or use `screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200` for other OS's
+
+    4. You should now be able to see and interact with the Serial Port.
