2.4. Micro-USB Console Port Connection
On the second generation of the E7 appliance, the console port is a physical micro-USB port on
the front panel of the hardware.
This port allows direct management connection to the appliance from a separate computer
running console emulation software. Console access can then be used for both management of
cOS Core with CLI commands or to enter the
boot menu in order to access E7 firmware loader
options.
Tip: Skip this section for now if the web interface is used
This section can be initially skipped if initial cOS Core setup is done with the cOS Core
Web Interface since neither boot menu or CLI access will be needed.

Connection Steps
To connect a PC to the console port, follow these steps:
1. Connect a micro-USB connector directly to the console port on the E7.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a USB port on a Windows based computer running
console emulation software.
3. Windows will recognize the device and automatically install the appropriate driver.
4. Direct the console emulator on the Windows computer to connect to the newly installed
device.
Issuing CLI Commands
CLI commands can be issued via the console port for both initial cOS Core setup as well as for
ongoing system administration.
The console port need not be used if setup is done through a web browser as described in
Section 3.2, “Web Interface and Wizard Setup” . If the local console port is used for setup, no
password is initially needed and the CLI commands required are described in Section 3.4, “CLI
Setup” .
