Verbatim Gigabit NAS

Verbatim Gigabit NAS

A gemini-based NAS from Verbatim.

UART Access

Verbatim Gigabit NAS UART pins

UART location inside the Gigabit NAS

My approach is to first solder in a proper pin rail, then put wires on top of the pin rail, but it's just as fine to solder wires directly onto the holes in the board.

See the picture for pin layout.

I have noticed that connecting the PWR pin to the UART converter is not optional input (TX) to the device will not work or the device will not even power on unless you connect the power.

The device uses 19200N8 serial settings.
