Setting IP Address using Serial Port

Use the following procedure to set an IP address over the serial port using the CLI. The network administrator typically
provides the AP IP address.
Hardware and Software Requirements
• Standard cross-over serial data (RS-232) cable (not included with shipment).
• ASCII Terminal software, such as HyperTerminal.
Attaching the Serial Port Cable
1. Connect one end of the serial cable to the AP and the other end to a serial port on your computer.
2. Power on the computer and AP, if necessary.
Initializing the IP Address using CLI
After installing the serial port cable, you may use the CLI to communicate with the AP. CLI supports most generic terminal
emulation programs, such as HyperTerminal (which is included with the Windows operating systems). In addition, many
web sites offer shareware or commercial terminal programs you can download. Once the IP address has been assigned,
you can use the HTTP interface or the CLI over Telnet to complete configuration.
Follow these steps to assign the AP an IP address:
1. Open your terminal emulation program (like HyperTerminal) and set the following connection properties:
• Com Port: <COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your computer>
• Baud rate: 115200
• Data Bits: 8
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow Control: None
• Parity: None
2. Press the RESET button on the AP.
The terminal display shows Power On Self Tests (POST) activity, and then displays the software version and prompts to
enter the CLI username and password similar to the example below. This process may take up to 90 seconds.
