1. You can use only one console port (either RJ-45 or mini-USB). When you connect to one console port, the other is disabled.
Console Port Connections
The controller has both EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous (RJ-45) and USB 5-pin mini Type B, 2.0 compliant
serial console ports. The default parameters for the console ports are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
and no parity. The console ports do not support hardware flow control.
EIA/TIA-232
Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port appears as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the
cable. Only one port can be used at a time.
USB Console
The USB console port connects directly to the USB connector of a PC using a USB Type A to 5-pin mini
Type B cable.
For operation with Microsoft Windows, the Cisco Windows USB Console Driver must be installed on
any PC connected to the console port. If it is not installed, prompts guide you through a simple
installation process.
For information about downloading the latest Cisco Windows USB Console Driver, refer to the
