    (https://support.arubanetworks.com/ToolsResources/tabid/76/DMXModule/514/Default.aspx?EntryId=33499))

     

    I can install it, but the device has no driver:

    I have installed and delete the device ans start the PC several times.

    I have try it with manualy updating the driver but windows do not find any drivers in any dezipped folders of this driver.

    I had to do some digging to find that cable and when I plugged it in, the driver worked.  Can you try uninstalling and re-installing again?  The Host IDS on my Windows 10 laptop is not allowing me to uninstall to test.

    I am talking about the driver here:  https://support.arubanetworks.com/Default.aspx?TabId=76&DMXModule=514&EntryId=7512

    Hi,

     

    it dosn´t work. The Problem is the Windows 10 error ‘Device not migrated’: https://borncity.com/win/2017/03/15/windows-10-error-device-not-migrated/

     

    I give up. I will use the normal Console Port.

     

    Thank you for you support.

    Let me ask a co-worker.  I am not sure how I got it to work and I cannot remove it to replicate on my laptop.

     

    Thanks for your patience.

    The 7005 uses the CP210x USB to UART chip, and I just tried on a fresh Windows 10 and was able to make it work with the following steps:

     

    - Download the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers for Windows 10 from SiLabs.

    - Install the drivers

    - Now go into the Device manager, and search for the Aruba Networks USB to UART Bridge controller under Other Devices

    - Right-click for properties

    - From there click 'Update Driver'

    - Then 'Browse my computer for drivers' (manual select)

    - 'Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer

    Screen Shot 2020-06-11 at 09.51.29.png

    - Select 'Ports (COM &LPT) from the list of hardware types:

    - Select 'Silicon Labs' from the manufacturers, and Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge from the models:

    - Now you will see a warning that Windows cannot verify the compatibility, ignore that:

    - Success message should now appear:

    Note the COM port number here and open PuTTY or your favorite teminal emulator:
