USB Console to IAP with OSX 10.10

  • 1.  USB Console to IAP with OSX 10.10

    Hi,

     

    I am trying to access the console of a healthy & running IAP225 via USBA to USBA on a MacBookPro 10.10. Reason is to reset the admin password. I've downloaded the Aruba hosted USB driver, even tried with various others - yet I can't see what device to connect with. For example using ls /dev/tty* shows me no .usb or anything of that resemblence. Please advise.

    The USB port on an IAP-22x is not for console. Please use the console port.

    Doh, thanks. Which cable should I be using to connect with a MacBook?

    You'll need the standard USB to serial adapter and RJ-45 to DB-9 console cable. 


    Thanks,
