Serial Cable for X1027 switch
Hi,
I have an X1027 switch, that I don't know the IP address to.
I've tried connecting via GUI but the default IP is not working.
I see that there is a micro usb port labeled "console". Would I need a micro usb to serial cable in order to try and connect my laptop via terminal emulation by means of this port? I'm trying to figure out other connections options since GUI is not working.

Hi,
You can check below informations;
Micro USB (console)
This port is used for a terminal connection for debugging and software
downloads. The baud rate is 9,600 BPS. This port can operate as a UART
in USB mode (connected to a PC USB port) or in RS-232 mode
(connected to a PC Serial port).

You will need to download the Windows driver for USB console connections, and install it on your workstation. Do not plug in the USB console connection until the driver has been installed.
Now connect to the switch
The serial settings are
Hope this will helps!
