Serial Console Port; Port & Adapter Pin Outs - Alcatel OmniAccess 4324 Installation Manual

Serial Console Port

The serial console port is located on the front panel of the Alcatel Wireless
LAN Switch. This port is for connecting a local management console and can
be used to access the text-based Command-Line Interface (CLI) to configure,
manage, and troubleshoot the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch.
C —Do not connect Access Points to the serial console port.
AUTION
The serial port is designed to connect to RS-232-only devices.
Non-RS-232 devices such as Access Points will cause the Switch to
fail and can cause damage.
See the Alcatel AOS-W User's Guide for using the features available through
this port.
