Device

with

This section will guide you how to install the PL2303 Windows Driver. You can download the
latest Driver Installer program from Prolific
support website:
http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?
ID=31

Note:
Please take notice of the installation order. First,
run the Driver Installer Program before plugging
in the USB to Serial adapter. If you already plug
the device during the driver installation, you
need to replug the device for Windows to
enumerate the device and load the drivers
installed. If your device is embedded to the
system, you might need to restart the system to
reload and install the driver.
The following steps will show how to install the
device under Windows 7 (64-bit) OS as this is the
most inquired driver support received by Prolific.
The procedures are somewhat the same and
straightforward for all other Windows operating
systems versions.

(1) Power on your

computer and boot
to Windows. Run or
double-click the PL2303
Driver
Installer program.

(2) The
InstallShield
Wizard will be
displayed to inform
you that the PL2303 USB-to-Serial
driver will be
installed on your
computer. Click
Next to continue

(3) The PL-2303

Driver Installer
program will then
start to install the
drivers needed.

(4) Click the Finish

button to close the
InstallShield
program. If you have
plugged the cable
into the PC while
running the setup
installation,
please
unplug and replug
the cable for the
system to detect the
device.

(5) Plug in the USB

to Serial adapter to
the PC USB port.
Windows
should
detect the driver as
Prolific
USB-toSerial Comm Port.
Go
to
Device
Manager and check
for
the
Prolific
USB-to-Serial
Comm Port device

(6) You can also check

the driver version by
right-clicking on the
Prolific
USB-toSerial Comm Port
device
and
select
Properties and Driver
tab.

Warning!!!
If you are encountering
yellow mark (Error Code
10) for device in Device
Manager, you need to
contact the cable vendor
or
manufacturer
for
Prolific
genuine
chip
validity. Prolific does not
manufacture any end-user
cable products and will
not provide direct support
to end-users.

L2 and L3 Switches

Introduction

This document describes the password

recovery procedure for the Cisco Catalyst
Layer 2 fixed configuration switches
2900XL/3500XL, 2940, 2950/2955, 2960,
and 2970 Series, as well as the Cisco
Catalyst
Layer
3
fixed
configuration
switches 3550, 3560, and 3750 Series.
Step-by-Step Procedure

Follow the password recovery procedure

below.
1- Attach a terminal or PC with terminal
emulation (for example, Hyper Terminal)
to the console port of the switch.
Use the following terminal settings:
Bits per second (baud): 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: Xon/Xof
1- Unplug the power cable.
2- Power the switch and bring it to the
switch: prompt:

For 2900XL, 3500XL, 2940, 2950, 2960,

2970, 3550, 3560, and 3750 series
switches, do this:
Hold down the mode button located on the left
side of the front panel, while you reconnect the
power cable to the switch.

Catalyst 3524XL

Catalyst 2950-24

The Catalyst 2955 series switches do not

use an external mode button for
password recovery. Instead the switch
boot loader uses the break-key detection
to stop the automatic boot sequence for
the password recovery purposes. The
break sequence is determined by the
terminal
application
and
operating
system used. Hyperterm running on
Windows 2000 uses Ctrl + Break. On a
workstation running UNIX, Ctrl-C is the
break key. For more information, refer to
Standard Break Key Sequence Combinatio
ns During Password Recovery
.
The example below uses Hyperterm to
break into switch: mode on a 2955.
