The TS-4100 offers two options for interfacing with the console UART. A TTL interface present on the TS-SOCKET headers, or a direct USB serial interface via the micro USB B port labeled "P2". This USB serial interface is provided by the 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 Silicon Labs.
