Managing AP Cons ole Settings
An AP’s provisioning parameters are uniqueto each AP . Theseparameters are initially configured on the controller
and thenpushed out to t heA P and stored on the AP itself. Best practices are to con figure an AP’s provisioning
settings using the controller WebUI.If you find it necessary to alter an AP’s provisioning settings for
troubleshootingpurposes, you can do sousing the controller WebUI and CLI, or alternatively, through a console
connection to the AP it self.
To create a console connection to the AP :
1. Connect a localc onsolet o the serialpo rto nt heA P. You can connect theA P’s serial port to a terminal or
terminalserver using an Ethernet cable,or connect the serial console port to a DB-9 adapter,then connect the
adaptert o alaptop using an RS-232 cable. For details on connectingto an AP’s serial console port, refer to the
Installation Guide includedwit h the AP.
2. Establish a console communication to the AP, then power-cycle the AP to reboot it.
3. To access the AP console command prompt, press Enter when the AP displays the message “ Hit <Enter>t o
stop autoboot. ” If the autoboot countdown expires before you can interruptit ,t urnthe device off and then back
on.
4. Oncet heA P boot prompt appears, you can issue any of the AP provisioning commands described in the Table
