The following sections describe the connection to the micro-USB port:
Emulated serial port
When a computer is connected to a controller module using a micro-USB cable, the controller presents an emulated serial port to the computer. The name of the emulated serial port is displayed using a
customer vendor ID
and
product ID. Serial port configuration is unnecessary.
NOTE Certain operating systems require a device driver or special mode of operation to enable proper functioning of the USB CLI port. See also
Device driver/special operation mode.
Supported host applications
The following terminal emulator applications can be used to communicate with an
ME5 Series controller module:
When the computer detects a connection to the emulated serial port, the controller awaits input of characters from the computer using the command-line interface. To see the CLI prompt, you must press Enter.
NOTE Directly cabling to the micro-USB port is considered an out-of-band connection. The connection to the micro-USB port is outside of the normal data paths to the controller enclosure.
Device driver/special operation mode
Certain operating systems require a device driver or special mode of operation. The following table displays the product and vendor identification information that is required for certain operating systems:
