USB Serial Telnet Server

Android application that binds a USB serial converter to a Telnet client

Just connect a USB serial adapter into USB OTG port of your Android device, start this app and connect to it using any Telnet client like

  • JuiceSSH using the same Android device (connect to localhost)
  • Telnet client on a computer on the same network (connect over Wi-Fi)

This method allows to use all console features like colors and special keys. So you can easily control/install something like network devices with serial port using only your Android device. Also, you can use it as remote console transmitter.
