To connect the CLI console to the controller, perform these steps:

Step 1 Use a null-modem serial cable to connect the CLI console to the controller console port.

Note The Cisco Wireless LAN Controller end of the cable is female DB-9. The other end should be any kind

of connector that plugs into your VT-100 terminal emulator (usually a laptop or palmtop computer).

Step 2 Make sure the VT-100 terminal emulator (HyperTerminal, ProComm, minicom, tip, or other) is

configured for the following parameters:

• 9600 baud

• 8 data bits

• no flow control

• 1 stop bit

• no parity
