The USB 2.0 (micro AB jack) console port allows you to set up and debug the D20E modules.
Figure 13 shows the connection from a PC to a D20E module.
The console port provides an SSH- encrypted IP interface providing you with a standard
Linux command line interface for running system debug and low-level commands.
The default IP address is "10.0.0.1". You can access the console port with a LAN-based
ASCII VT terminal emulator, such as Putty Emulator.

The USB console port provides easy access to Linux OS command line instructions with an
IP-based USB connection.
To set up the USB console connection:
1.
Power up the D20E and connect a cable with a USB micro AB plug between the PC and
the D20E as shown in Figure 13.
Results: If Windows does not automatically install the USB driver, refer to the MS web
site for the appropriate USB driver (remote NDIS Compatible device) installation
procedure, which is dependent upon the Windows OS version.
2.
After the USB driver is successfully installed, run Windows command.
Result: The Command Prompt window appears.
3.
Execute the C:\ipconfig command and make sure a new Ethernet adapter is installed
with a new IP address of 10.0.0.x.
If the new Ethernet adapter is not installed with a new IP address, open the network
property tab to manually add in the IP address 10.0.0.x (where, x is 2 to 254).
Execute the C:\ipconfig command again to verify the IP address.
4.
Run a terminal emulator, connecting to IP address 10.0.0.1:22 with SSH encryption to
establish the connection to the D20E module.
5.
Logon to the D20E with the default user ID root, and a default password root.
Result: The Linux command prompt appears.
a new IP address of 10.0.0.x
