Performing Advanced Configuration

Serial Port Access

The serial port interface on the AP is enabled at all times. See
Port on page 198 for information on how to access the CLI interface via the serial port. The
parameters that you can configure and view are described in
Table 20: Serial Port Parameters

Serial Baud Rate
Serial Flow Control
Serial Data Bits
Serial Parity
Serial Stop Bits
RADIUS-Based Access
User management of APs can be centralized by using a RADIUS server to store user
credentials. The AP cross-checks credentials using RADIUS protocol and the RADIUS server
accepts or rejects the user.
HTTP/HTTPS and Telnet/SSH users can be managed with RADIUS. Serial CLI and SNMP
cannot be managed by RADIUS. Two types of users can be supported using centralized
RADIUS management:
Super User: The super user has access to all functionality of a management interface.
•
Limited User: A limited user has access to only a limited set of functionality on a
•
management interface.

This is a read-only field and displays the number of parity bits used in
serial communication (no parity bits by default).
This is a read-only field that displays the number of stop bits used in
serial communication (1 stop bit by default).
