Sorry, but the meaning did not make it through that translation (for me anyway). You can either try again, or ask someone to post the question in English.

All you need to do is go to VM settings, serial ports and :-

1. Tick the "Enable Serial Port" checkbox.
2. Do not change: Port Number = COM1, IRQ=4, I/O Port=0x3F8 [ LEAVE THESE SETTINGS AS THEY ARE ]
3. Port Mode = Host Device.
4. Port / File Path: <the device name of your host serial port here>

I'm not familiar with OS X hosts. On a Windows host the port device name would be "COM1" etc or "\\.\com10" etc. On a Linux host I believe the device name would be "/dev/ttyS0" etc.

All of this is assuming that the host recognizes the serial port. Otherwise the only way to get the guest to recognize it is if it's a USB device and you have a USB filter configured, and you have Windows drivers, and even then it may not work - since using physical hardware is not really the role of a VM (dual boot might be better if you need that).
