Connecting a Device to the Console Port
Connecting a Device to the Console Port
The console port on the AP allows you to access and set AP parameters. If the AP is
installed on the MultiSwitch 900, you need to connect the device to the hub's console
port.
You do not need to use the console port if you plan to manage the AP with the AP
Manager.
Console Port Signaling Standards
Signals from the MultiSwitch 900 console port and from the standalone console port
conform to the EIA-232D signaling standard at 9600 baud only. To the user, the port
appears as a data terminal equipment (DTE) device.
Connecting to the Console Port
The console port on the AP standalone unit or the MultiSwitch 900 can be connected
to a console port device (a terminal or personal computer) by using the cables and
adapters listed in Table 3-1 and shown in Figure 3-2. Refer to Appendix A for the
console port connector, cable and adapter pinouts.
When installing the AP into a DEChub 90, you must connect the console port
device to the console port before applying power to the AP.
To connect a device to the AP console port, do the following:
3-12 Installing the RoamAbout Access Point
Ensure that the transmit and receive baud rates on the console port device are set
to 9600 baud only.
Connect the console port device to the console port connector on either the AP
front-panel serial port or the MultiSwitch 900 console port.
