Setting Up a Console Connection
To access the Switch through an Console port (out-of-band) connection,
follow these steps:
1. Configure the management console as described above under
"Configuring the Management Console Connection".
2. For a direct console connection, connect the PC or terminal to the
Console serial port using one of these console cables:
a. A DB9-to-RJ45 cable (shipped with the switch).
b. A micro-USB cable (not provided).
The USB console drivers are available at www.hp.com/networking/support.
The following are the steps to download the driver:
c. Type a product model (for example, 5400) or product number in the
Auto Search text box.
d. Select one of the switches from the dropdown list, and click the
Display selected button.
e. From the options that appear, select Software downloads (on the
right-hand side). Then, download the "USB Console Port Drivers and
Information".
Also, both console ports are not active at the same time and after sometime
the USB console port times out.
