Cisco Cisco 5508 Wireless Controller Installationsanleitung

Before you can configure the controller for basic operations, you need to connect it to a PC that uses a 
VT-100 terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal, ProComm, Minicom, or Tip).

You can use either the RJ-45 console port or the USB console port (see 

). 

The first time that you connect a Windows PC to the USB console port, you are prompted to install the 
USB console driver. Follow the installation prompts to install the driver. The USB console driver maps 
to a COM port on your PC; you then need to map the terminal emulator application to the COM port. 
See the 

 for more information about the USB console driver.

Follow these steps to connect the PC to the controller’s console port:

If you use the RJ-45 console port, plug the RJ-45 connector on a null-modem serial cable into the 
controller’s RJ-45 console port and the other end of the cable into the PC’s serial port.

If you use the USB console port, plug the 5-pin mini Type B connector into the controller’s USB console 
port and the other end of the cable into the PC’s USB Type A port.

Start the PC’s terminal emulation program.

Configure the terminal emulation program for the following parameters:

9600 baud

8 data bits

No flow control

1 stop bit

No parity

When you plug the controller into an AC power source, the bootup script initializes the system, verifies 
the hardware configuration, loads its microcode into memory, verifies its operating system software 
load, and initializes itself with its stored configurations. Before performing this test, you should connect 
your PC to the controller’s CLI console as described in the 

. Follow these steps to run the bootup script and conduct the power-on self test 

(POST).

Plug an AC power cord into the back of the controller and connect the other end to a grounded 100 to 
240 VAC, 50/60 Hz electrical outlet.

Turn on the power supply.

Observe the bootup on the CLI screen.
