Serial Console Port
The serial console port allows you to connect the AP to a serial terminal or a laptop for direct local management.
This port is an RJ-45 female connector with the pinouts described in
Table 2
. Connect this port in one of the
following ways:
Connect it directly to a terminal or terminal server using an Ethernet cable.
Use a modular adapter to convert the RJ-45 (female) connector on the AP to a DB-9 (male) connector, and
connect the adapter to a laptop using an RS-232 cable.
Figure 5
illustrates the connector details of the
adapter.
