Download the utility for your OS (link from CML Tools bar) -    Windows - -    Mac OS -    Linux - Execute the utility a few times with options -    Breakout config   - Creats a default config file “config.yaml” that you will modify with controller IP -    Breakout init   - Retrieves info about labs and write to “labs.yaml”. Modify a few things - Change first enabled option to “true” - Change the serial0 of all devices running status to “true” - Breakout ui - Start a web UI for modification of the server config file   Now you can connect to your local host on port 8080 (or whatever port you configure) on a browser to check status and change telnet ports, if desired.  ![Cisco Modeling Lab Personal Part 2](https://www.lookingpoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-392.png?width=600&name=image-392.png) You can also configure your favorite terminal emulation software instead of using the built in CML console.  My favorite supports multiple tabs and a chat window that can send commands to all tabs. Well there you have it, quick and easy!
