Management Ports

You can connect the switch to a PC running Microsoft Windows or to a terminal server through either
the RJ-45 console port or the USB mini-Type B console port, also referred to as the USB-mini console
port.
•
•
The USB-mini console interface speeds are the same as the RJ-45 console interface speeds.
To use the USB-mini console port, you must install the Cisco Windows USB device driver on the device
that is connected to the USB-mini console port and that is running Microsoft Windows.
For information about downloading the Cisco USB device driver, see the
Note
Windows USB Device Drivers" section on page
With the Cisco Windows USB device driver, connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the
console port does not affect Windows HyperTerminal operations. Mac OS X or Linux require no special
drivers.
The 5-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble the 4-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible.
Note
Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B. See
Figure 1-7
The configurable inactivity timeout reactivates the RJ-45 console port if the USB-mini console port is
activated, but no input activity occurs for a specified time period. When the USB-mini console port
deactivates due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB
cable. For information on using the CLI to configure the USB-mini console interface, see the switch
software guide.
