To make a serial connection between your management system and the SmartPath AP, you can use the console cable that is
available as an extra accessory. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the SmartPath AP console port and attach the DB9 connector to
the serial (or COM) port on your management system. The management system must have a VT100 terminal emulation program,
such as Tera Term Pro (a free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve Hyperterminal (provided with Windows operating systems). If you
want to make your own serial cable and adapter, refer to Figure 3-7 and Table 3-6.
