Serial Console Port
The serial console port allows you to connect the AP to a serial terminal or a laptop for direct local
management. This port is an RJ-45 female connector with the pinouts described in Table 2. Connect this
port in one of the following ways:
 Connect it directly to a terminal or terminal server using an Ethernet cable.
 Use a modular adapter to convert the RJ-45 (female) connector on the AP to a DB-9 (male) connector,
and connect the adapter to a laptop using an RS-232 cable. See Figure 5 for connector details of the
adapter.
