DM4170 products have a USB Console Interface (micro-USB connector) on the switch’s rear
panel for local management. The USB console port is accessible via Micro-USB cable (not
included). In Linux distributions USB port is automatically recognized by the hotplug system
and the console for management can be accessed directly from terminal. On Microsoft
Windows before Windows 10, a driver that emulates the USB port as a serial port will be
necessary, and then the console for management can be accessed by an emulation program.
In the Microsoft Windows 10 the USB port is recognized and emulated as a serial port, this
port can be accessed via a serial connection program.
DATACOM does not provide the driver that will emulate or create a virtual
serial port from the USB port. Due to security issues it is highly
recommended that only use driver from trusted sources.
