Using the CLI

Required Connections

The access point provides an RS-232 serial port that enables a connection to a PC
or terminal for monitoring and configuration. Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or
a PC running a terminal emulation program to the access point. You can use the
console cable provided with this package, or use a cable that complies with the
wiring assignments.
To connect to the console port, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC running
terminal emulation software, and tighten the captive retaining screws on the
DB-9 connector.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on the access
point.
3. Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows:
• Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or 2).
• Set the data rate to 9600 baud.
• Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
• Set flow control to none
