You can use only one console port (either RJ-45 or mini-USB). When you connect to one console port, the other is disabled. See the "USB Console" section on page 4 for information on the USB console port. See the "Connecting the Controller's Console Port" section on page 22 section for information about connecting the console port. Console Port Connections The controller has both EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous (RJ-45) and USB 5-pin mini Type B, 2.0 compliant serial console ports. The default parameters for the console ports are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. The console ports do not support hardware flow control. EIA/TIA-232 Depending on the cable and the adapter used, this port appears as a DTE or DCE device at the end of the cable. Only one port can be used at a time. USB Console The USB console port connects directly to the USB connector of a PC using a USB Type A to 5-pin mini Type B cable. For operation with Microsoft Windows, the Cisco Windows USB Console Driver must be installed on any PC connected to the console port. If it is not installed, prompts guide you through a simple installation process. Note For information about downloading the latest Cisco Windows USB Console Driver, refer to the Release Notes for Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers and Lightweight Access Points for Release 6.0.
