Console Port Pin Assignments
Crossover Wiring
Because the 10/100 Mbps port on the access point uses an MDI pin configuration, you must use “crossover” cable for network connections to PCs, servers or other end nodes that only have MDI ports. However, if the device to which you are connecting supports auto‐MDIX operation, you can use either “straight‐through” or “crossover” cable.

Console Port Pin Assignments
The DB‐9 DCE serial port on the front panel of the Access Point 3000, shown in Figure C‐4, is used to connect to the access point for out‐of‐band console configuration. The on‐board menu‐driven configuration program can be accessed from a terminal, or a PC running a terminal emulation program. The pin assignments used to connect to the serial port are provided in Table C‐1 through Table C‐3.
