Connecting to a Serial Port with Microsoft Windows
Before You Begin
Install the USB device driver before establishing a physical connection between the voice gateway and
the PC using the USB console cable plugged into the USB serial port. Otherwise, the connection will fail.
Note
You may encounter USB driver-related errors if you are using a PC with Microsoft Windows 7, 64-bit operating system to connectivity
with the voice gateway. As a workaround, you can install the Cisco USB Console Driver from the Cisco software section at http://

Note
For information on cabling, see Cable Specifications and Information, on page 69.
Procedure
Step 1
Connect the end of the console cable with the RJ-45 connector to the console port on the voice gateway.
or
Connect a USB 5-pin mini-USB Type B to the USB console port, as shown in the figure in LAN and Power
Cables, on page 35.
When the USB port is used, it takes priority over the RJ-45 EIA
port.
Note
Step 2
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.
Step 3
To communicate with the voice gateway, start a terminal emulator application, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal
for Windows. This software should be configured with the following parameters:
•
9600 baud
•
8 data bits
•
No parity
•
1 stop bit
•
No flow control
