Wireless Access

I have just received the Aruba demo kit C - The problem is, my laptop does not support a db9 serial connection,so can't run CLI I am running windows 7 (64 bit) . There seem to be many USB to serial adapters out there, and many good and bad reviews. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Try one from IOGear or Belkin.  I've used both in the past and I've had success with multiple OS.

Two comments/recommendations for you :

 

 

1) Stay away from USB cables that require the Prolific drivers.  They cause tons of  Blue Screen issues.  

 

and

 

2) Go for a $12  FTDI style USB-serial cable.   Reliable as it comes, and self installing drivers built-in (always nice) for windows.    PLUS not one single blue screen :)      

 

3 Cheers for FTDI ! 

Mike, thanks for the input,

Thanks, I will give this route a shot. Agreed, USB seems to be problematic.

Maybe you could give a try at http://ser2net.sourceforge.net/
