Using the CLI

Required Connections

The access point provides an RS-232 serial port that enables a connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuration. Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the access point. You can use the console cable provided with this package, or use a cable that complies with the wiring assignments.

To connect to the console port, perform the following steps:

1.Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC running terminal emulation software, and tighten the captive retaining screws on the DB-9 connector.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on the access point.

3.Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows:

•Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or 2).

•Set the data rate to 9600 baud.

•Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

•Set flow control to none
