AP330 AND AP350 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Console Port
The pin-to-signal mapping in the RJ-45 console port is shown in Table 2 "Console port pin assignments".
To make a serial connection between your management system and the device, you can use the console
cable that is available as an extra accessory. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the console port, and attach
the DB-9 connector to the serial (or COM) port on your management system. The management system must
have a VT100 terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term Pro
©
(a free terminal emulator) or Hilgraeve
Hyperterminal
®
(provided with Windows
®
operating systems). If you want to make your own serial cable and
adapter, refer to Figure 3.
