You can create a direct physical connection into the access point by connecting a cable from a laptop or desktop PC to a
serial port on the access point. Then, using terminal emulation software on your PC, you can access the AP system console.
To emulate the AP system console on a serial port connection, you will need to have terminal emulation software installed
on your PC, such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm.
Use the following steps to set up the serial port connection, configure the terminal emulation software, and access the CLI.
1.
Using a null-modem cable, connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a workstation to the console (serial) port.
-
If you attached a PC, Apple, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program, such as HyperTerminal or
TeraTerm.
2.
Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:
•
Baud rate: 115200 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: none
•
Stop bit: 1
•
Flow control: none
3.
Press the return key, and a login prompt should appear.
-
The login name is
admin
, and the default password is
admin
.
-
After a successful login, the screen shows the (
Access Point Name)# prompt. You are now ready to enter CLI
commands at the command line prompt.
Note:
By default, the serial port baud rate is 115200. You can also configure the serial port to use a baud rate
of 9600, 19200, 28400, or 57600 from the Web interface
