Output format is `[serialNumber] [state]`, serialNumber that is, we often say that the SN, state the following categories:
The output is formatted like `[serialNumber] [state]`. `serialNumber` is a string to uniquely identify an emulator/device instance. `state` is the connection state of the instance may be one of the following:
* `Offline` - indicates that the device is not connected to the success or unresponsive.
* `offline` - this instance is not connected to adb or is not responding.
* `Device` - device is connected. Note that this state does not identify the Android system has been fully activated and operational in the device during startup device instance can be connected to the adb, but after boot the system before it becomes operational.
* `device` - this instance is now connected to the adb server. Note that this state does not imply that the Android system is fully booted and operational, since the instance connects to adb while the system is still booting. However, after boot-up, this is the normal operational state of an emulator/device instance.
* `No device` - no device / emulator connection.
* `no device` - there is no emulator/device connected.
The output shows the current connected the two devices / simulators, `cf264b8f` and` emulator-5554` are they SN. As can be seen from the `emulator-5554` name it is an Android emulator.
Output above shows there are two emulators/devices connected currently, their SNs are `cf264b8f` and `emulator-5554`. We can see that `emulator-5554` is an emulator from its SN.

### USB connection
### Connect to a device over USB
USB connection normal use adb by the need to ensure that:
To use adb with connection over USB, need to satisfy serveral conditions:
1. Hardware status is normal.
1. Hardware status is normal.
Including Android devices in the normal power state, USB cable and interface intact.
Including: Android system successfully started, USB cable and interfaces are normal.
Developer Options 2. Android devices and USB debugging mode is on.
2. Enable Developer options and USB debugging on your device.
You can go to the "Settings" - "Developer options" - "Android Debug" view.
You can find the options in **Settings** > **Developer options** > **USB debugging**.
If you can not find the developer options in the settings, it needs to make it through an egg is displayed: In the "Settings" - "About phone" continuous click "version number" 7 times.
On Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default. To make it visible, go to **Settings** > **About phone** and tap **Build number** seven times. Return to the previous screen to find **Developer options** at the bottom.
3. The device driver is normal.
3. Device driver is normal.
It seems to worry about the Linux and Mac OS X, the Windows likely to be encountered in the case of the need to install drivers, this can be confirmed right "Computer" - "Properties", the "Device Manager" in view on related equipment Is there a yellow exclamation point or question mark, if not explain the driving state has been good. Otherwise, you can download a mobile assistant class program to install the driver first.
Looks like no need to pay attention to this in Linux and Mac OS X. But in Windows you may met situations should install device driver. To confirm the status, you can right click **My Computer** and select **Properties** > **Device Manager**, if there is no yellow `!` or `?`, your device driver status is normal, otherwise you may need to download a Phone Assistant like software to help you to install device driver first.
4. Status after confirmation via USB cable connected computers and devices.
4. Confirm status after connect PC and andoid device over USB.
