    Posted Aug 09, 2017 07:00 AM

    Hi Guys,

     

    iam expecting some issues in using the console (USB) Port on the AP-203H. There comes up a Windows (10) error message when plug in the ap it comes up as unkown device. Also the installation of the common usb drivers won't work for that device.

     

    Thanks in advance

    These driver won't work for 203H. Tested on two PCs Win7 + Win10.

    The port on the 203H is not a micro USB port, it is serial. According to the AP-203H Ordering Guide will need a console cable that has a USB to serial converter.

    Thanks for feedback! I will oder that cabe. BUT which guy use a micro USB Port and a SPECIAL cable to USB ??? I wonder that all switches and APs have a standard USB and those NEW devices use a special "standard" looking usb plug. I think you might shoot a own goal with this :-( but thanks for the hint.

    Agreed. This is a proper "What the hell?" moment.
