Power Core - USB Service Port
This topic describes how to use the USB service port (on Power Core revision 3 systems).
Overview
The USB port, on Power Core revision 3, can be used for debugging and/or downloading log files. Note that, on Power Core revision 1 or 2 systems, you must use the RS-422 port for this purpose.
Opening a Connection to the System
The instructions below describe how to set up a connection to Power Core revision 3 for debugging.
1. Using a USB cable, connect your PC to the USB port on the Power Core front panel.

2. On your computer, open a suitable ssh/telnet application.
We recommend using PUTTy, a free ssh/telnet client for Windows. The latest version can be downloaded from the internet.
3. Set up the serial connection for the COM port using the following credentials.
- Speed (baud): 115200
- Data bits: 8
- Stop bits: 1
- Parity: XON/XOFF
The correct settings for PUTTy are shown below.
4. Once the software connects to the system, you will see a new window.

5. Press ENTER and you will see the syntax: "SHLL [/] #“.
You can now follow the instructions for the task you wish to perform.
