Serial Console Port
The serial console port allows you to connect the AP to a serial terminal or a laptop for direct local management.
This port is an RJ-45 female connector with the pinouts described in
following ways:
Connect it directly to a terminal or terminal server using an Ethernet cable.
Use a modular adapter to convert the RJ-45 (female) connector on the AP to a DB-9 (male) connector, and
connect the adapter to a laptop using an RS-232 cable. See

Power Connection
The access point has a single 12V DC power jack socket to support powering through an AC-to-DC power
adapter.
NOTE: If both POE and DC power are available, the AP uses POE even when there is not enough POE voltage available to power
the AP.
Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity
The integrated LEDs on the IAP can be used at this point to verify that the AP is receiving power and initializing
successfully (see
