Console Port Connector
The WAVE-594 and WAVE-694 appliance has two console port connectors, serial and mini-USB (see
Figure 1-1). Use a console port connector to access the command-line interface (CLI) for controlling the
WAVE appliance.
For information on connecting a console terminal to the mini-USB console port, see the “Connecting a
Console Terminal” section on page 1-6.
Connecting a Console Terminal
The WAVE appliance has both serial and mini-USB console ports (see Figure 1-1). These ports provide
administrative access to your appliance with a console terminal or PC.
Note You cannot use both ports at the same time. If both ports are connected, the mini-USB port takes priority.
Note When using the mini-USB port to connect to a Windows-based PC for the first time, you must install the
Windows USB driver on the PC first. See the “Installing the Cisco USB Driver” section on page 1-6.
Cabling
The following cables included with the WAVE appliance may be used for connecting the WAVE
appliance to a console terminal or PC:
• USB Console cable—5-pin USB to mini-USB Type A-B
• Serial Console cable— EIA RJ-45 to DB-9
Installing the Cisco USB Driver
When using the mini-USB port to connect a Microsoft Windows based PC as a console terminal to the
WAVE appliance, you must first install the Windows USB driver on the PC. Otherwise, the USB
interface may not function.
The following Windows operating systems are supported:
• Windows XP—32-bit and 64-bit
