The TS-4100 offers two options for interfacing with the [[#UARTs|console UART]]. A TTL interface present on the [[#TS-SOCKET|TS-SOCKET headers]], or a direct USB serial interface via the [[:File:micro-USB-AB-port-labeled-P2-edited.png|micro USB B port labeled "P2"]]. This USB serial interface is provided by the [[#Supervisory_Microcontroller|on-board supervisory microcontroller]] which behaves as a USB serial device. Either port can safely be used without causing any issues or data corruption; the RX path to the CPU is gated to prevent drive conflicts on either source.


The USB serial device is CP210x compatible. This means most operating systems will support it out of the box. However, if not, drivers are available directly from [https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers Silicon Labs].

The TS-4100 features the ability to be operated in Standalone Mode, this allows for a small, low power device with built-in WiFi and 4.0LE interfaces and a combination of soldered down flash as well as support for microSD cards. In order to expand functionality on the TS-4100 will need to be seated on a SoM baseboard. See the TS-4100 product page for a complete list of compatible baseboards and links to their manuals. Compatible baseboards have schematics available to aid in development of custom solutions.
