Connecting to the Access Point Locally

If you need to configure the access point locally (without connecting the access point to a wired LAN),
you can connect a PC to its console port using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable. Follow these steps to open
the CLI by connecting to the access point console port:
Step 1 Connect a nine-pin, male-to-female, straight-through serial cable to the COM port on a computer and to
the RS-232 serial port on the back of the access point.
the access point's serial port.

Step 2 Set up a terminal emulator to communicate with the access point. Use the following settings for the
terminal emulator connection: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
When your configuration changes are completed, you must remove the serial cable from the access point.
