This section describes using Microsoft Windows to connect to the serial port.

Install the USB device driver before establishing a physical connection between the router and the PC 
using the USB Console cable plugged into the USB serial port, otherwise the connection will fail. 
See the 

Connect the end of the console cable with the RJ-45 connector to the light blue console port on the router. 

or 

Connect a USB 5-pin mini USB Type-B to the USB console port, as shown in 

If you are using the USB serial port for the first time on a Windows-based PC, install the USB driver 
now according to the instructions in the following sections.

You cannot use the USB port and the EIA port concurrently. See the 

. When the USB port is used, it takes priority over the RJ-45 

EIA port.

Connect the end of the cable with the DB-9 connector (or USB Type-A) to the terminal or PC. If your 
terminal or PC has a console port that does not accommodate a DB-9 connector, you must provide an 
appropriate adapter for that port.

To identify the COM port assigned to the USB console port, use the Control Panel to open the Device 
Manager, and expand the Ports section. The assigned COM port is shown in parenthesis at the end of the 
line with the following entry: Cisco USB System Management Console.

To communicate with the router, start a terminal emulator application, such as Microsoft Windows 
HyperTerminal. This software should be configured with the following parameters: 

9600 baud

8 data bits

no parity

1 stop bit

no flow control
