Using The Local Terminal For Unit Setup And Management; Getting Started With The Local Terminal - Black Box LW0050A Manual

CHAPTER 3: Using the Local Terminal for Unit Setup and Management
3. Using the Local Terminal for Unit
Setup and Management
The Pro 11 Series units feature plug-and-play operation; the unit starts operating
immediately following physical installation with a set of default parameters. System-
specific configuration of the unit to meet specific requirements can be done via a
local terminal (ASCII ANSI terminal or PC) connected to the unit.
This chapter explains how to use the local terminal to configure and manage the
Pro 11 Series units described in Chapter 1. Configuration and management for the
LW0054A/LW0059A PCMCIA PC Card is described in Chapter 4.

3.1 Getting Started with the Local Terminal

1. Use the Monitor cable supplied with the Access Point. Connect one end of the
cable to the MON jack on the rear panel of the unit and the other to the COM
port of the terminal.
2. Run a terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal).
3. Set communication parameters to the following:
• Baud Rate: 9600
• Data Bits: 8
• Stop Bits: 1
• Parity: None
• Flow Control: None
• Connector: Connected COM port.
4. Press Enter. The main menu is displayed (see Figure 3-1 on page 29).
