Console Commands
Some users may prefer to program the ZoomAir AP11 from the
console rather than from the browser-based WebManage. And
if your WebManage connection is terminated (for whatever
reason), you can use the console to restart the AP11 and
WebManage.
Setting Up the Console
Once you’ve connected the ZoomAir AP11 to your computer
using the supplied console cable (see the main manual if you have
any questions), follow these steps:
1
Start any terminal application that can be set to a serial rate of
exactly 38.4 Kbps. The HyperTerminal application that comes
with Windows 95/98 and NT is a good example. To illustrate,
click on Start | Programs |Accessories | HyperTerminal .
The Connection Description box will pop up. Type in the
name of your new connection (a name of your own choosing)
and double-click on an icon to represent it. Hit Enter .
2
You will be asked how you want to connect. Ignore the phone
number entry. Under Connect using , select the same COM
port as that used to connect the console to the ZoomAir
AP11. Click OK . The COM Properties dialog box will pop up.
Under Bits per second , select 38400 . Data bits will be set to
8 ; Parity will be set to none ; Stop bits will be set to 1 ; leave all
three as-is. Under Flow control , select Xon/Xoff. Click OK .
Hit Enter to get a $ in the terminal window.
Note:
If your connection attempt fails, double-check that
your cable connection is secure and that your COM
port selections match.
