Serial Console not working

[marjohn56]

This is my mini PC on which i'm running OPNsense https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000627539297.html

Indeed I have a secondary COM 2 port which is DB-9 but the UGREEN USB to RS232, USB Serial Cable DB9 is not good for me since the second COM port is male DB-9 so I need a female DB-9 ending on the other side similar to this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32922249681.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.7c4e3c00k6MeLi&mp=1

I also heard that Ugreen has very good products and I also was looking at this https://www.ugreen.com/products/usb-2-0-to-rj45-console-cable which uses the well known FTDI chip instead of CH340. I have asked them if this cable can be used as null modem and I'm waiting for an answer from them.

Thanks for support

Just get the usb to serial adaptor and a null modem cable or adaptor too.. one of these:
