Cisco AP 2802 - disabling USB port

[Samuele Leardini]

Hi,

In Cisco AP 2802 datasheet I see that the power draw is lower with the USB port disabled.

Is it possibile to disable the USB port with WLC release 8.5.135? If yes, how can I do it?

Thanks,

Samuele

looks like default setting is disabled.

below guide is for 8.8 but 8.5 will have similar location of this setting?

Procedure

---

Step 1	Choose Wireless > Access Points > All APs > access point name > Advanced tab to open the Advanced page.
Step 2	Check the USB Module Status check box to enable the USB port. Note  When the USB device draws power exceeding 2.5W, the USB port is disabled. The status shows the status as Disabled due to over current.
Step 3	[Optional] Check the Override check box to enable the USB Module on the particular AP or uncheck to apply the AP group setting to the AP.
Step 4	Click Apply.
Step 5	Choose the Inventory tab to open the All APs > Details for (Inventory) page. This page shows the connected USB Module details.
