The initial WiSM2 configuration must be made through a direct connection to the RJ-45 CONSOLE
port. After the initial configurations, you can make an Secure Shell (SSH) or Telnet connection to the
module to further configure the module.
USB Console Port
The USB Console port is a Type B interface that allows an interface to the console from a PC using a
Type A to Type B cable. The connector is a mini Type B. The Type B connector supports a USB interface
and outputs a standard serial (RS232) stream between the RJ-45 console stream and the USB Console
stream. Only one USB Console port is active at a time, either the RJ-45 or USB. The controller detects
if a connection is made to the USB-Console and deactivates the RJ-45 console. The pinouts of the mini
Type B is shown in
