Can anyone tell me what the USB port on my LU009 is used for?

USB Sticks for container store, general storage, Dude Storage
Ethernet Adapters (some): Additional ethernet port
Serial port adapters (some): Terminal access, Remote Serial port facility
Discontinued Woobm (wireless USB serial port) was kind of good could get you out of trouble when you locked yourself out.
3G/4G/LTe modems (Some): backup internet, Some can be used for SMS send/receive.
Mobile Phones (Some, USB Tethering): backup internet
USB Hubs

Thank you for your answers! Sounds like it does a lot of things. For me I was hoping I could use it for terminal access, i.e. using PuTTY or the like. I have been trying to figure out how to change the address range of the DHCP Server to 10.10.0.10-10.10.0.254. Every time I try I get kicked out of WinBox and end up resetting the router etc. A real pain in the neck.

So maybe the better question is how I can change the DHCP Server to a different address range. I am using the bridge interface and have tried creating a new interface etc. But with no luck. There has to be a simple way to do this (I hope).

Thanks,
Doug

Use Winbox MAC access to connect and change such things. Then you will not get kicked out.

Or remove 1 ether port from bridge and use that one to connect your PC (using Winbox Mac access :laughing: ).
Whatever you do then with bridge or VLAN or … you will not get kicked out anymore.

Yes you can! If you have USB serial adapter you can access the console via the USB port. I use two USB to RS-232 cables with an adapter connecting the RS-232 ends to connect to my devices that don’t have a console port.

:bulb: L009 has dedicated console port..
