Cisco CP-DX650 USB driver for Android ADB

Grrr!  Why doesn't Cisco make their documentation easier to find?  After days of searching, I finally found the solution.  See


Apparently, there is a developer kit called the "Cisco DX650 Add-on".  More importantly, it has instructions on how to install the USB driver.  In case that link goes stale in the future, let me highlight the salient points:

  1. Install Android SDK (duh)
  2. Install the Google USB Driver (duh)
  3. Edit ...\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf
  4. Add the following lines under [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64]
    ;Cisco DX650
    %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0451&PID_D109
    %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0451&PID_D109&MI_01
    %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0451&PID_D109&MI_02
  5. Save and close it
  6. Connect the device to your PC
  7. You may need to specify the location of the driver as
    ...\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver\
  8. Enjoy!
