A P P E N D I X E Console Serial Cable Pinouts This appendix identifies the pinouts for the console serial cable that connects to the power injector’s console serial port.
Appendix E Console Serial Cable Pinouts Overview Overview The access point/bridge requires a special serial cable that connects the power injector’s console serial port (RJ-45 connector) to your PC’s COM port (DB-9 connector). This cable can be purchased from Cisco (part number AIR-CONCAB1200) or can be built using the pinouts in this appendix.
A P P E N D I X F Priming Lightweight Access Points Prior to Deployment This section describes an optional procedure designed to prime or stage your lightweight access points in a convenient location rather than after they are installed in possibly difficult to reach locations. This helps limit potential installation problems to primarily Ethernet and power areas. Figure F-1 illustrates a typical priming configuration for your lightweight access points.
Appendix F Priming Lightweight Access Points Prior to Deployment Before deploying your access points to their final locations, follow these steps to prime your access points: Step 1 In a Layer 2 environment, where the access points are located on the same subnet as the controller, the access point communicates directly with the controller. Step 2 In a Layer 3 environment, ensure a DHCP server (typically on your switch) is enabled on the same subnet as your access points.
Appendix F Priming Lightweight Access Points Prior to Deployment Step 6 If the operating system download is successful, the access point reboots. Normal operation is indicated when the radio LED is blinking to indicate radio activity. Step 7 Use the controller CLI, controller GUI, or Cisco WCS to configure the access point with primary, secondary, and tertiary controller names.
