Dell PowerSwitch S4128F-ON User Manual

USB-B console port access
The USB-B console port is on the I/O side of the switch.
NOTE: The S4100-ON Series switches use the Silicon Labs CP2109 USB-B chip. To find the correct USB-B universal
asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) driver, see https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/
usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers.
The terminal settings are the same for the serial console port and the RS-232/RJ-45 console port:
● 115200-baud rate
●
No parity
● Eight data bits
● One stop bit
● No flow control
When you connect the USB-B port, it becomes the primary connection and, while connected, all messages are sent to the
USB-B port.
NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be sure that you have a terminal emulation program that is already installed on your
personal computer. Install the appropriate drivers to support the USB-B port. To download Dell drivers, see www.dell.com/
support. If your system requires non-Dell drivers, contact Dell Technical Support for assistance.
