When the AP operates in cloud mode, you can access and configure the AP from the console port,
Web interface, or through Telnet. Accessing the AP from the Web interface or through Telnet
requires the IP address of the AP.

Prepare the following items for accessing the device from the console port:
•
An 8-core console cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end, and a DB-9 connector at
the other end.

1.
Connect the DB-9 connector of the console cable to the serial port on the configuration
terminal, for example, a PC.
