However, the only software download links which were still valid were dated in 2010, and the installer file for windows only supported Windows Vista, XP, and older Windows Server 2000 software. The most relevant links I found work installation guides for my hardware. Searching the Cisco site, you will want to search for “Cisco Windows USB console driver”. On a Windows 8.1 system, the USB driver is not found, and a generic interface failed to load properly, resulting in new communications. Once I had the USB cable connected to the router, that's when the USB device was detected. It appears that the USB chip in the cable gets its power from the Cisco device. When I first plugged the blue USB cable into my computer, nothing happened. This was actually beneficial, because it exposed a few other issues that might affect you if you were to approach it today. Because it was the first time I've had an opportunity to work with that interface on the Cisco gear, I came to the installation process as a new user, without any previously loaded software for this Cisco interface. This past fall, I was able to work with a Cisco 1941 router, allowing me to explore the USB console in a bit more depth.
