The AP provides an RS-232 serial console port that enables a connection to a PC or
terminal for monitoring and configuring the AP. A null-modem console cable is
provided with the AP.
Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal emulation program
to the AP. You can use the console cable provided with this package, or use a null-
modem cable that complies with the wiring assignments shown in the Installation
Guide.
To connect a terminal to the console port, complete the following steps:
1.
Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC running
terminal emulation software, and tighten the captive retaining screws on the
DB-9 connector.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable to the console port on the AP.
3.
Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows:
Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
■
Set the baud rate to 115200 bps.
■
Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
■
Set flow control to none.
■
Set the emulation mode to VT100.
■
When using HyperTerminal, select Terminal keys, not Windows keys.
■
Note:
Once you have set up the terminal correctly, the console login screen will be
displayed.
