Accessing the AP
Wi-Fi 6 APs of version 2442 or above allow users to switch the working mode (cloud, anchor AC, or
AP) without obtaining the corresponding image file. For more information about the supported
working modes, see the release notes for the AP.
When the AP operates in cloud or anchor AC 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.
Logging in to the AP from the console port
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.
•
A configuration terminal. It can be a standard character terminal with an RS-232 port, or a PC.
Connecting the AP to a configuration terminal from the
console port
CAUTION:
•
To connect a PC to the AP, first connect the PC end. To disconnect a PC from the AP, first
disconnect the AP end.
•
If the PC does not have an RS-232 port but a USB port, use a USB-to-RS-232 converter to
connect the USB port to the console cable and install the driver on the PC.
