I have personally not seen the switches connect to a console server such as the TrippLite. Usually the console is not used, and the management of the switch is done through the management GUI. The user guide does say that the port can operate in USB mode (connected to a PC USB port) or in RS-232 mode (connected to a PC Serial port). But I believe the TrippLite uses RJ45 ports, correct? One possible solution would be to use a RJ45 to RS232 cable, and connect it to a USB to RS232 cable. Of course this is untested, and I have no way of knowing if it would actually work. But if you happen to have those cables available, you could give it a try.
Hey everyone - very long time Dell customer first time poster (always seemed to be able to find answers until now).  I just got a Dell X1052p Switch and it comes with a Micro USB to USB Console Cable, I connect it to a Windows 7 Laptop and it is asking for drivers. One would think that the drivers would be right in the Download Section but there isn't any mention of drivers. Anyone know where I can find the drivers? Also anyone know how I can connect this switch to a Terminal Server? This is the fist switch I've ever seen with a USB Port for Console and of course our Term Server is RJ45 to serial adapters.  I have to say that I've been using Dell Switches for years and this has been by far the most painful experience ever with this new GUI and lack of any substantial documentation.
