  • 1.  Console Port on AP-515 no response?

    Posted Mar 12, 2020 10:07 AM

    Hi,

    I tried to use the console port of my new AP-515 Access points but my PC (win10) does not recognize anything if I plug in the USB Micro Cable to the access point.

    Do I have to enable the console port somewhere ?

    The AP run as Instant APs

    That AP requires a special cable  .  Some have obtained it on Amazon.  Please see here:  https://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Controllerless-Networks/IAP-345-USB-to-MicroB-Console-Cable/td-p/425764

    Sorry to ask, but making sure: did the customer install the driver, resulting in an active COM port when the cable is plugged in?

    I've downloaded this driver from ASP, but there are no release notes, no instructions, and no .exe files in the Zip. Can anyone help us with this?

    These days it is barely needed to manually install drivers, so if you are not a long term Windows user (I'm feeling old ;-), you may not be familiar with the procedure.

    Go in the Device Manager, from there find the unrecognized device under the 'Other Devices' and with the yellow warning sign on top of it, open properties for that device, click 'Update Driver', then 'Browse my computer for drivers' and point to the directory/folder where you extracted the ZIP file you downloaded.

    That is the directory where you have the .inf files (ftdibus.inf and ftdiport.inf). From there it should recognize the device and install the drivers.
