Console Port
The pin-to-signal mapping in the RJ-45 console port is shown shown in Figure 3 .
Figure 3 Console port pin assignments
To make a serial connection between your management system and the HiveAP, you can use the console cable that
is available as an extra accessory. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the HiveAP 340 console port, and attach the DB-9
connector to the serial (or COM) port on your management system. The management system must have a VT100
terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro
©
(a free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve Hyperterminal
®
(provided with Windows
®
operating systems). If you want to make your own serial cable and adapter, refer to
Figure 3 .
