Connecting the Serial Port
Follow these steps to connect a terminal to the serial port for command line interface access:
1 Attach a serial null modem cable to the AP (see Figure 15).
2 Attach the other end of the cable to the serial port of your computer.
3 Use a terminal emulation tool such as HyperTerminal. Configure the terminal as follows:
• 115,200 BAUD
• 8-bits

A command prompt should now be available to access the command line interface.
