Hi, So I have not used a braille device but for Cisco console access ssh generally does the trick if remote. If you mean physically strapped to the console port then I have had good luck with putty although the terminal emulation can be a little odd and of course the standard Minicom on the windows side. On the Mac side I have not found a good terminal program. I generally run a serial adapter passed through to windows and then run a terminal package in the virtual machine. Same applies to Juniper.

Hey everyone, Recently, I have found that using an old Braille Lite (yes, that one, from the 90s) works extremely well for me as a Cisco console. Not only can I execute commands and read with Braille or speech, but I can also log the input and output. Has anyone else used a Braille Lite for this? If not, what do you find works best for using Cisco hardware consoles? Additionally, has anyone who HAS used a Braille Lite for Cisco been able to get access to the later firmware versions recently (namely M20 version 4.1)? 4.1 introduced Interactive Mode, which auto reads as the screen updates, and mine is stuck on version 4.0. If anyone has this firmware or tips for how I might get it, please let me know! Contacting FS has gotten me nowhere, which I figured would happen, because it's not supported. Many thanks, Megan
