BSAP’s back panel to your network using category 3, 4, or 5 UTP Ethernet

cable. When the BSAP and the connected device are powered on, the

BSAP’s Ethernet Link LED should light indicating a valid network connection.

)

Note: The RJ-45 port on the BSAP provides a full-duplex Ethernet connection

using an MDI pin configuration, so you must use a straight-through cable for

network connections to hubs or switches that only have MDI-X ports, and a

crossover cable for direct network connections to BSC-400s, PCs, servers or

other end nodes that only have MDI ports. However, if the device to which

you are connecting supports auto-MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use either a

straight-through or crossover cable.

Using the BSAP Command Line Interface (CLI)

)

Note: Normally you will not need to access the BSAP CLI. In a properly

provisioned Bluesocket WLAN, the BSAP will automatically discover and

communicate with its home BSC. We recommend that you use the CLI to

configure the BSAP only in a lab or test environment, or where a pre-defined

static IP address is desired.

You can connect a console to the BSAP’s serial console connector to perform

local configuration of the BSAP using its command line interface (CLI).You can use

the BSAP’s CLI to manually configure:

• the BSAP’s IP address

• the IP address of the home BSC from which the BSAP will download its

configuration and software image

Accessing the BSAP CLI

To access the BSAP CLI:

1. Connect a nine-pin null-modem serial cable between the nine-pin serial port

on the back of the BSAP and your laptop computer.

2. Run a terminal emulation program on your laptop computer configured with

the following settings:

•Port - COM1
