Connect Hardware Serial
Connects a virtual serial port of a powered-on virtual machine to its backing. Connecting the virtual device makes the backing accessible from the perspective of the guest operating system. For a powered-off virtual machine, the Serial.update operation may be used to configure the virtual serial port to start in the connected state when the virtual machine is powered on.

Disconnect Hardware Serial
Disconnects a virtual serial port of a powered-on virtual machine from its backing. The virtual device is still present and its backing configuration is unchanged, but from the perspective of the guest operating system, the serial port is not connected to its backing. For a powered-off virtual machine, the Serial.update operation may be used to configure the virtual serial port to start in the disconnected state when the virtual machine is powered on.
