Emulated serial port
When a computer is connected to a controller module using a micro-USB cable, the controller presents an emulated serial port
to the computer. The name of the emulated serial port is displayed using a customer vendor ID and product ID. Serial port
configuration is unnecessary.
NOTE:
Certain operating systems require a device driver or special mode of operation to enable proper functioning of the
USB CLI port. See also Device driver/special operation mode.
