How do I use the USB console port on the Cisco 5500 series Wireless LAN Controller?
A. The USB console port on the 5500 series controllers connects directly to the USB connector of a PC using a USB Type A to 5-pin mini Type B cable. Note: The 4-pin mini Type B connector is easily confused with the 5-pin mini Type B connector. They are not compatible. Only the 5-pin mini Type B connector can be used. For operation with Microsoft Windows, the Cisco Windows USB console driver must be installed on any PC connected to the console port. With this driver, you can plug and unplug the USB cable into and from the console port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal operations. Only one console port can be active at a time. When a cable is plugged into the USB console port, the RJ-45 port becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is removed from the USB port, the RJ-45 port becomes active For detailed information, refer to Using the Cisco 5500 Series Controller USB Console Port.
