Description
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/connect-to-console.html
and the other "connect to console" guides for Netgate appliances state:
Open PuTTY and select Session under Category on the left hand side. Set Serial line to the console port that was located above and the Speed to 115200 bits per second. For the Connection type, select Serial. Click the Open button and the console screen will be displayed.
However, on first run the Connection type will be set to SSH. Accordingly, there will be no "Serial line" to set to the console port (with SSH selected, which is the default option on first run of PuTTY).
The language might be changed to something like
Open PuTTY and select Session under Category on the left hand side. Next, set the Connection type to Serial. Then set Serial line to the console port that was located above and the Speed to 115200 bits per second. Click the Open button and the console screen will be displayed.
