Connecting the PXE to a Computer

To configure the PXE using a computer, it must be connected to the computer via the USB port.

The PXE device can emulate a USB-to-serial converter after the USB‑to‑serial driver is properly installed in the Windows® operating system.

Now establish a USB connection between the PXE and a computer for initial configuration.

  1. A USB-to-serial driver is required in Windows®. Install this driver before connecting the USB cable. See Installing the USB-to-Serial Driver (Optional).
  2. Connect a USB cable between the PXE device's USB‑B port and your computer's USB‑A port.

Note: If you plan to use this USB connection to log in to the command line interface, leave the cable connected after the configuration is complete.
