Overview

The access point/bridge requires a special serial cable that connects the power injector's console serial port (RJ-45 connector) to your PC's COM port (DB-9 connector). This cable can be purchased from Cisco (part number AIR-CONCAB1200) or can be built using the pinouts in this appendix.

Signals and Pinouts

Use the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable to connect the power injector's console serial port to the COM port of your PC running a terminal emulation program.

Note Both the Ethernet and console serial ports use RJ-45 connectors. Be careful to avoid accidently connecting the serial cable to the Ethernet port connector.

Table E-1 lists the signals and pinouts for the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable.
