The console port is enabled during power up for diagnostic and monitoring purposes, which might be
helpful if the access point is unable to associate to a controller. You can connect a PC to the console port
using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable.
Caution Be careful when handling the access point, the bottom plate might be hot.
Note The Cisco part number for the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable is AIR-CONCAB1200. Browse to
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ordering/index.shtml to order a serial cable.
