Controller Overview

Cisco IOS software provides standard file system access to the flash device: read, write, erase, and copy, as well as the ability to format the flash device with a FAT file system.

USB Mini-B Console Port

The controller provides a USB mini-Type B console connection on the front panel, and an RJ-45 console port on the rear panel. Console output is always active on both connectors, but console input is active on only one connector at a time, with the USB connector taking precedence over the RJ-45 connector.

Use a USB type-A-to-USB 5-pin mini-Type B cable to connect a PC or other device to the controller.

Note The 4-pin mini-Type B connectors resemble 5-pin mini-Type B connectors. They are not compatible. Use only the 5-pin mini-Type B.

The connected device must include a terminal emulation application.The device can be a Linux, MacOS, or Windows device.

When the controller detects a valid USB connection to a powered device, input from the RJ-45 console port is immediately disabled, and the input from the USB console is enabled. Removing the USB connection immediately reenables input from the RJ-45 connection. An LED on the front panel is green when the USB console connection is enabled.

The controller provides a configurable inactivity timeout that reactivates the RJ-45 console if no input activity has occurred on the USB console for a specified time period. After the USB console has been deactivated due to a timeout, you can restore its operation by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. You can disable USB console operation by using Cisco IOS commands. See the controller software configuration guide for details.

Note Only a PC that has the necessary USB console device driver causes the USB console to become active. Plugging in a PC that does not have the USB console driver support does not cause a switchover.

When using the USB console port for operation with Microsoft Windows, you must install the Cisco Windows USB Console Driver on any PC that is connected to the console port. If it is not installed, prompts guide you through a simple installation process.

Note The USB console driver also works on Linux and MacOS Hosts. See the notes listed inside the Cisco Windows USB Console driver package for installation details.
