Initial Configuration

4-2

To connect to the console port, complete 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.

•Set the emulation mode to VT100.

•When using HyperTerminal, select Terminal keys, not

Windows keys.

Note: When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft® Windows® 2000, make

sure that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later installed.

Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 fixes the problem of arrow keys not

functioning in HyperTerminal’s VT100 emulation. See

www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service packs.

4. Once you have set up the terminal correctly, press the [Enter]

key to initiate the console connection. The console login

screen will be displayed.

For a description of how to use the CLI, see “Using the Command

Line Interface” on page6-1. For a list of all the CLI commands

and detailed information on using the CLI, refer to “Command

Groups” on page6-10.
