USB-B console port access

The USB-B console port is on the I/O side of the S4100-ON Series.

The terminal settings are the same for the serial console port and the RS-232/RJ-45 console port:
  • 115200 baud rate
  • No parity
  • 8 data bits
  • 1 stop bit
  • No flow control

When you connect the USB-B port, it becomes the primary connection and, while connected, all messages are sent to the USB-B port.

  • NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be sure that you have a terminal emulation program already installed on your PC. Install the appropriate drivers to support the USB-B port. For assistance, contact www.dell.com/support to download the drivers.
