For operation with Microsoft Windows, the Cisco Windows USB console driver must be
installed on any PC connected to the console port. With this driver, you can plug and unplug
the USB cable into and from the console port without affecting Windows HyperTerminal
operations. Only one console port can be active at a time. When a cable is plugged into the
USB console port, the RJ−45 port becomes inactive. Conversely, when the USB cable is
removed from the USB port, the RJ−45 port becomes active

Q. How do I access the GUI configuration wizard on a 4400 controller?
A. In order to configure the basic settings on a 4400 controller using the GUI configuration
wizard, you must connect to the service port of the controller. Next, configure your PC to use
the same subnet as the controller service port; the IP address on service port when configuring
the WLC for the first time is 192.168.1.1. Start Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 (or later) or Firefox
2.0.0.11 (or later) on your PC, and browse to http://192.168.1.1. The GUI Configuration
