point, follow these steps:
1.
2-12
Connect the PC or terminal to
the access point's Console
port using a DB-9 female-to-
female serial cable. (If your
PC or terminal has a 25-pin
serial connector, first attach a
9-pin to 25-pin straight-
through adapter at one end of
the console cable.)
The Console cable is
described below. A null-
modem cable or a ProCurve
Networking serial cable, part
number 5184-1894 (shipped
with many ProCurve
switches), may be used.

will vary, requiring either a DB-9 or DB-25 connector, male or female.
