Preparing to Use a Terminal Emulator
To use a terminal emulator to open the CLI, you need to:
1. Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 serial port
on the access point and to the COM port on a computer.
2. Set up a terminal emulator to communicate with the access point. Use the
following settings for the terminal emulator connection: 9600 baud, 8 data
bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
Use the Console/Telnet Setup page to adjust the console and Telnet
connection settings. See the “Console and Telnet Setup” section on page 7-5
for details on the Console/Telnet Setup page.
Connecting the Serial Cable
Connect a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the COM port on a computer and to the
RJ-45 serial port on the access point. Figure 2-3 shows the serial port connection.
