Serial Console Port
To configure the module using the serial port, attach a DB-9 serial (RS-232)
equipped computer with terminal emulation software such as Procomm or Putty
to the serial port on the module using a RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable (not included).
Some computers do not come with DB-9 serial port connectors and may require a
USB-to-serial port adapter.
The port is a standard RS-232 asynchronous serial interface. The serial ports is
configured for 57,600bps, 1 stop, 8 data, parity none. The serial adapter cable
pin-outs are illustrated below.
