USB Interface
The Aruba 7030 controller is equipped with a USB 2.0 interface. See Figure 4 on page 9. A USB storage
device can be used to save and upload configurations to the controller. USB functions are controlled
through the LCD panel on the front of the controller. For more information on the LCD panel and its
functions, see “LCD Panel” on page10.
Mini USB Console Connector
The Aruba 7030 controller is equipped with one Mini USB (type B) connector that provides console access
for direct local access. See Figure 4 on page 9. If both Mini USB and RJ-45 Console ports are connected, the
Mini USB connection takes precedence over the RJ-45 Console connection.

2. Click on the Tools & Resources tab.
3. Open the USB Console Driver folder.

Use the serial CONSOLE port to allow direct local management. See Figure 4 on page 9. This port is a RJ-45
female connector that accepts an RS-232 serial cable with a male connector.
