MicroUSB-B console port access The MicroUSB type B console port is on the I/O side of the switch. NOTE: The Z9100-ON switch uses the Silicon Labs CP2102 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. When you connect the MicroUSB-B port, it becomes the primary connection and, while connected, all messages are sent to the microUSB-B port. 1. Power on the PC. 2.

.
When you connect the MicroUSB-B port, it becomes the primary connection and, while connected, all messages are sent to the
microUSB-B port.
1.
Power on the PC.
2.
Connect the USB-A end of cable into an available USB port on the PC.
3.
Connect the microUSB-B end of cable into the microUSB-B console port on the Z9100-ON.
4.
Power on the switch.
5.
Install the necessary USB device drivers.
6.
Open your terminal software emulation program to access the Z9100-ON.
7.
Confirm that the terminal settings on your terminal software emulation program are as follows:
●
115200 baud rate
●
No parity
●
8 data bits
●
1 stop bit

No flow control
USB storage
USB storage supports the FAT file system. USB storage does not automatically mount, to use USB storage, first mount the
device.
1.
Create a mount directory for the USB storage.
ONIE:/ # mkdir /mnt/usb
2.
View the fixed disks using the
fdisk
command.
ONIE:/mnt # fdisk -l
