Using The Console Mode - Advantech WLAN-9100 Manual

3-3 Using the Console Mode

The WLAN-9100 can be configured via the command prompt console with either:
RS232 (serial) Connection: The RS232 port configuration is provided for advanced users to
manage the WLAN-9100. You may use any terminal emulation program with a RS232
(serial) connection (e.g., Telix, ProCOMM, Windows 95/98/NT/2000's Hyper Terminal) to
configure the WLAN-9100.
Telnet (TCP/IP) Connection: Assign an IP address to your WLAN-9100 through the RS232
connection or Access Point Manager and then telnet to the WLAN-9100 anywhere to get
access to the Access Point console. Thus, you will be able to make the configuration via the
TCP/IP connection.
The following are the instructions to configure the WLAN-9100 through RS232 connection
under Windows. Configuration through Telnet is the same as the RS232 configuration.
1. Attach the 9-pin or 25-pin connector of the RS232 cable to the COM port on your
computer.
2. Connect the other end of the RS232 cable to the RS-232 port on your WLAN-9100.
3. From the Start menu, select Program Files and open the Terminal program.
4. Assign a name for the connection.
