Step 1 Use a straight-through cable with 9-pin male to 9-pin female connectors to
connect the COM 1 or COM 2 port on your computer to the RS-232 port on the
access point.
Step 2 Open a terminal-emulation program on your computer.
Note These instructions describe HyperTeminal; other programs are
similar.
Step 3 In the Connection Description window, enter a name and select an icon for the
connection and click OK.
Step 4 In the Connect To window, select the port to which the cable is connected and
click OK.
Step 5 In the Port Settings window, enter the following settings:
• 9600 baud,
• 8 data bits,
• No parity,
• 1 stop bit, and
• Xon/Xoff flow control
Step 6 Click OK, and press Enter.
Step 7 When the Summary Status screen appears, reboot the access point by unplugging
the power connector and then plugging it back in.
Step 8 When the access point reboots and the Summary Status screen reappears, type
:resetall, and press Enter.
Step 9 Type yes, and press Enter to confirm the command.
Note The resetall command is valid for only 2 minutes immediately after
the access point reboots. If you do not enter and confirm the resetall
command during that 2 minutes, reboot the access point again.
Step 10 After the access point reboots and the Express Setup screen appears, reconfigure
the access point by using the terminal emulator or an Internet browser.
