Aerohive AP121 - Console Port; Reset Button; Status Leds

Chapter 5 The AP340 Platform

Console Port
You can connect directly to the device using the RJ45 Console port. The management station from which
you make a serial connection to the AP must have a VT100 emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro
©
(a
free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve Hyperterminal
®
(provided with Windows
®
operating systems). The serial
connection settings are:
• Bits per second: 9600
• Data bits: 8
•Parity: none
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
The pin-to-signal mapping for the RJ45 console port is described and illustrated in "RJ45 Console Port Pin
Assignments" on page 113.
Reset Button
To reset the device, or return it to the factory configuration, insert a paper clip, or similar tool, into the Reset
pinhole and press the reset button. To reboot the device, hold the button down between 1 and 5 seconds.
To return the configuration to the factory default settings, hold it down for at least 5 seconds. After releasing
the button, the Power LED goes dark as the system reboots. Then it pulses green while the firmware loads
and the system performs a self-test. After the software finishes loading, the Power LED glows steady green.
To disable the reset button from resetting the configuration, enter this command: no reset-button
reset-config-enable Pressing the button between 1 and 5 seconds will still reboot the AP, but pressing it
for more than 5 seconds will not reset its configuration.
