If you need to configure the access point/bridge locally (without connecting to a wired LAN), you can
connect a PC to the power injector console serial port using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable. Follow these
steps to open the CLI by connecting to the console serial port:
Step 1
Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 serial port on the power injector and
to the COM port on your PC.
Figure 6-1
shows the power injector’s console serial port connector.
