Connecting to the Access Point Console Port

Connecting to the Access Point Console Port

The console port is enabled during power up for diagnostic and monitoring purposes, which might be helpful if the access point is unable to associate to a controller. You can connect a PC to the console port using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable.

Caution Be careful when handling the access point, the bottom plate might be hot.

Note The Cisco part number for the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable is AIR-CONCAB1200. Browse to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ordering/index.shtml to order a serial cable.

Follow these steps to view the power up sequences by connecting to the access point console port:

Step 1 Open the access point cover (refer to the “Opening the Access Point Cover” section on page 2-11).

Step 2 Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 console port on the access point and to the COM port on a computer. The location of the access point console port is shown in Figure 4-2.

Step 3 Set up a terminal emulator on your PC to communicate with the access point. Use the following settings for the terminal emulator connection: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

When you have finished using the console port, you must remove the serial cable from the access point.
