Procedure
Step 1 If you are connecting the switch USB console port to a Windows-based PC for the first time, install the USB
driver. See Installing the Microsoft Windows USB Device Driver, on page 120. .
USB Type A port on the switch provides file system support and is NOT a console port. See
USB Type A Port section.
Note
Step 2 Connect a USB cable to the PC USB port. Connect the other end of the cable to the switch mini-B
(5-pin-connector) USB console port.
Step 3 Start the terminal-emulation program on the PC or the terminal. The program, frequently a PC application
such as Putty or TeraTerm, makes communication between the switch and your PC or terminal possible.
Step 4 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match the console port default
characteristics:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• None (flow control)
Step 5 Power on the switch as described in the switch getting started guide.
Step 6 The PC or terminal displays the bootloader sequence. Press Enter to display the setup prompt. Follow the
steps in the Setup program.
