Troubleshooting a Serial Management Connection
1
Verify that the WSS is powered on.
2
Verify that the serial cable is fully inserted in the PC and WSS ports.
3
Verify that the correct modem settings are configured in the terminal emulation application:
●
9600 bps
●
8 bits
●
1 stop
●
No parity
●
Hardware flow control off or disabled
4
Verify that you opened the connection on the PC port connected to the WSS.
For example, if you inserted the cable in PC port COM1, make sure you open the connection on COM1
instead of COM2 or another port.
If none of the previous steps results in a management connection, use another serial cable.
Connecting to the Network
Use the following procedures to connect a WSS to AP access points or other 10/100 Ethernet devices and to gigabit
Ethernet devices.
Connecting to an AP Access Point or Other 10/100 Ethernet Device
Note.
The 10/100 Ethernet ports are configured as wired network ports by default. You
must change the port type for locally connected AP access points, and for wired end
stations that use AAA through the WSS to access the network.
Note.
For installations in Japan: Provide an earthing connection before you connect the
mains plug to the mains. When disconnecting the earthing connection, make sure to
disconnect only after you pull out the mains plug for the mains.
