MIC-5602 User Manual 18
3.1 USB to UART Bridge
The MIC-5602 contains a console port (mini-USB) on the front panel. As mentioned
in the previous chapter (2.2.18.2), the MIC-5602 uses a USB-to-UART bridge called
CP2102 from Silicon Laboratories to convert data traffic between USB and UART for-
mats. This chip includes a complete USB 2.0 full-speed function controller, bridge
control logic, and a UART interface with transmit/receive buffers and modem hand-
shake signals.
For a terminal PC to bridge successfully to the console function on the MIC-5602, the
CP2102 driver available for download from Silicon Laboratories website (hyperlink
below) must be installed on the terminal PC (for example, running on Linux 2.4 or 2.6
Kernel or Windows XP).

3.2 Terminal Emulator
A terminal emulator application must be available on the terminal PC in order to
access the console screen. If your terminal PC runs on Microsoft Windows, a com-
mon application that can act as a client for the SSH, Telnet, rlogin, and raw TCP pro-
tocols called PuTTY can be installed and used. It was originally written for Microsoft
Windows; however, it has also been ported to various Unix-like operating systems.
And, it is free and open source software available for download from the internet.
3.3 PuTTY Configuration
Assuming both CP2102 driver and PuTTY have been installed successfully in the ter-
minal PC with Microsoft Windows, you can check the COM port (UART) number
under "COM and LPT" in the "Device Manager", which can be accessed by entering
the "Control Panel" followed by opening up "System" and then "Hardware".
Let us assume the CP210x USB to UART Bridge Controller has been assigned with
"
COM5 ", you can open up PuTTY and begin the configuration as shown below.
